Detailed Answer:
Thank you for asking
I read your question and i understand your concern. Jaw and neck with left side paresthesia and numbness with history of blood pressure and diabetes should not labelled stress and anxiety that early before working up and ruling out ischemic neuropathies and XXXXXXX strokes. You need to visit a local hospital, let them run some labs and sort out the possible cause for it, if all clear then anxiety and stress can be the cause and be treated symptomatically.
I hope it helps. Take good care of yourself and dont forget to close the discussion please.
