Can anxiety cause different sensations in feet? pins and needles, numbness, burning?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Medical Exam!: People with generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) have excessive anxiety or worry, most everyday for at least 6 months. Common symptoms include feeling restless or wound-up, being easily fatigued & difficulty concentrating. Other disorders such as alcohol abuse or diabetes could be causing the sensations in your feet & so I suggest you have a general medical exam as soon as possible. Best of luck!
