Kyphosis, Tingling Sensations In Forearms And Right Side Of Face, Anxiety Issues. What Is It ?

Hello, I have kyphosis and just recently (the last couple of days) Ive experienced some tingling sensations in my forearms and around the right side of my face. I have had issues with anxiety in the past and am just trying to get a handle on what my level of concern should be with these new issues before i think them out of control. I havent experienced any pain in my back or any loss of strength in my hands or anywhere.

It would be prudent to rule out brachialgia or cervical neuralgia as a cause of tingling of the forearms.Anxiety can also lead to similar symptoms as would low levels of vitamin B12.Peripheral neuropathy due to other causes also needs to be evaluated.
