Are Itchy Hands And Stress Interlinked?

Helo there.i am a 39 year old female and i get terribly itchy hands and feet at night times. I do have high blood pressure and am on meds and I run my own small business and am under quite a lot of stress. Are these issues all interlinked by any chance?

Hi
Thanks for using healthcare magic

Tingling sensation is part of anxiety symptoms and due to this, sometime patients feel itching. May be in your case, you have itching due to excessive anxiety. Better to do some relaxation exercise that would keep you calm and help to decrease this itching symptoms. in case, it persists, you can take help you any dermatologist.

Thanks
