A member asked:
What does it mean when i have tingling in my fingertips when i'm upset, anxious, etc ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Upset ; anxious: Tingling in your fingertips when upset and anxious could mean that you're hyperventilating. Temporary chemical changes in your body are happening that result in your physical symptoms. These would be breathing off co2, followed by shifts of important electrolytes like calcium, potassium, and phosphate. Symptoms should dissipate when you calm down. See your doctor for concerns.
