All symptoms are absent.

I apologize for such a vague question. Let me be more specific.
I have tingling from the top of my head, side of my left cheek, tingling in lower left part of my back, thigh, and feels like top of my foot, also seldom in my left arm. (All on my left side)
I have had this problem for some time.(Approx. 1 1/2 year)

I have seen an Herbal Specialist recently and the results that she found were an enlarged spleen and my nerves.

As i do not understand how i can have difficulty with anxiety since i dont feel very anxious.

Brief Answer:
Get investigations as advised below

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Unilateral symptoms may require a neuroimaging brain either contrast CT head or MRI.
EEG may be required too.
If these investigations are normal then possibility of anxiety related symptoms may be the cause.
You can start taking Clonazepam for relief till the investigations are done.
