Hello dear,
I understand your concern.Stress or 'Anxiety' is one of the most common cause of tingling paresthesias.Your tingling paresthesia,of spreading in nature are very typical of anxiety.Removing yourself from that enviornment improved it, just confirms its etiology to be 'anxiety'.Please do some mental relaxation exercises and it will be fine.I hope it helps.
