A member asked:
How common is it for paresthesia to be a symptom of anxiety disorder? have panic attacks sometimes and paresthesia sometimes but never at same time.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Although they usually go together it is common for panic attacks and paresthesias to be linked. The common link is a change in sympathetic tone and usually and change in Ph. This causes the chest pain with the panic attack and the abnormal activity of the peripheral nerves.
