How can i tell if these pins and needles that happen with easy compression is anxiety/cns disorder or nerve compression?

Best if you c ur Dr.: You can't tell without expert medical advice and having a physical done to assess the extent of your pins/needles sensation, and correlating it with the physical exam, and possilble lab work too. It can be from anxiety or it can be from something else completely. So if you're worried, it's time to see your doctor and discuss this, and get to the bottom of it!

Pins and needles: Pins and needles with compression is normally a mild symptom due to compression. For example, compression of the palm side of the wrist causes tingling in the thumb, index and middle finger tips.
