Physical Symptoms of Anxiety & Stress

My anxiety usually gets worse when I'm under a lot of stress. Sometimes my nerves will get so bad that my scalp will start to get tight, even burn or itch if it's really bad. I remember after my accident, my anxiety shot through the roof, my scalp went numb and even the inside of my mouth because I was in such a panic.

At the time I didn't know that stress and anxiety was the cause and I believed I had some unknown disease which made me panic even more. I had reached the point of hopelessness at one time. I had MRIs done, the whole nine yards but it was my nerves that were doing all of this.

Just wanted to know if anyone else has experienced this?

Hi Whidky1968,

Yes, I have experienced the scalp thing. Not one of my main symptoms but I have had it.

There is a post on here that lists the symptoms of anxiety/stress and I think the symptom you are having is mentioned on there. Just know you are not alone and others experience it too! Take care,
