Numb Feeling On The Face And Neck. Could It Be Anxiety?

Hi I have a numb feeling on left side of face and neck , and slight tingly in head just behind ear. My cheek feels slightly clammy. It doesn t happen often but when it does I start to focus on it a lot and it seems to get worse. Drinking water helps it and it usually goes away if I lie down and not think about it, or try to focus on something else. Could it be anxiety? or something much worse?

Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
The symptoms that you have could be related to anxiety. The other causes could be vitamin B complex deficiency or an electrolyte imbalance. You need to take proper supplements to reduce the problem.
