Not sure but an MRI.: You may not be breathing right. Hold yourhead up and you might breathe in and out better, especially if you have an MRI which is very enclosing and possibly scary. Have your mom standing by along with your dad if he is available.

Anxiety & Panic: High anxiety -- and full panic attacks -- may cause hyperventilation, which in many people results in tingling symptoms like you're describing. Usually these appear in extremities first, but can progress to other parts of your body. Your doctor is trying to rule out other possible physical causes. Please know there are good treatments for anxiety; psychiatrists & therapists can help.
