Can anxiety attacks cause numbness in legs?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
No: not directly. There is no true nerve impingement to cause that. However a true panic attack can have a overall sensation that can sometimes feel all over.

Anxiety symptoms: Anxiety can produce a large range of physical symptoms. For any serious physical symptom I always recommend a full physical from your physician, but if the symptom is caused by the original distressing event(s) then resolving the emotional distress from the event can resolve the physical sx.
