Dr. Bernard Seif answered

Specializes in Clinical Psychology

Anxiety can: manifest in numbness but it is essential that you see your doc to rule out medical conditions. After that, consider the help of a mental health professional for stress management training. Peace and good health. See www.relaxationresponse.org for some self-help.
