I had to call 911 one day because I got out of the bath and noticed that the left side of my body was feeling more numb and tingling than usual. It got so bad that the whole left side of my body was where I couldn't lift my arms or legs, like there was some sort of weight on top of them. The EMT's told me that they thought it was anxiet. I have it and I have never experienced this before and never want to experience it again.

Thank you for your question and welcome to AnxietyConnection.com
Numbness and tingling can be caused by anxiety. I would, however, suggest you make a follow up appointment with your doctor. This can also be caused by a number of physical conditions or could be a side effect of certain medications. Your doctor would be the best person to determine if the numbness was caused by your anxiety or if there is an underlying physical condition that may have caused it.
If you have not already contacted your doctor and discussed this experience, you should do so.
