Tingling and weird sensations from anxiety?

Does anyone here have tingling and other weird sensory symptoms on a daily basis?  Mine has been here for 6 years, but it seems that they are getting worse.  I find it hard to believe that people can have these weird sensations from anxiety alone.  I have had a brain MRI and c-spine MRI, the only thing that showed was a bulging disk.  Anyone else have this?

I have been struggling with tingling sensations when I sleep.  It is always the case that I was sleeping on my hands and they are tingling or sleeping in a strange position I have even a couple of times had my lips or even my tounge tingle. I am a hypochondriac and my first worry is always ms but the tingling goes away as soon as I shift positions.  I also sometimes get tingling legs when sitting and sometimes I worry that me circulation gets cut off too easily.  However, I am pretty sure I am being hyper aware of and probably even causing some of my sensations.  That is one of the hardest things for me struggling with anxiety is I am never sure if I am having symptoms of something because I am anxious or anxious because I am having symptoms.  This episode of anxiety has lasted about a month now and has gotten to the point were I almost panic when it comes time to sleep and have sleep starts a couple of minutes into sleep because I am worried if I sleep I may have a symptom which will make me worry.

HI;
You have something very wrong with you.  Do not give up.  How is your blood pressure? What about your heart rate?  Does that go up (heart rate)
when you stand for a few minutes.  Were you tested for nerve or muscle damage?  Start taking your blood pressure first take it lying down relax for about 10 mins. before taking your blood pressure lying down then stand up and take your blood pressure. Then wait one min. while standing then take your blood pressure again then wait 3 mins. and take your blood pressure again (standing) same time take your heart rate and see if that goes up while standing.,  Find a doctor that can test you for Autonomic Problems like Autonomic Failure.  The heart rate and blood pressure should tell if you have a Autonomic Problem or some kind of Neuropathy problem.  Keep looking.  The tingling and burning is not normal.  Take Care.

Can't believe you still have symptoms after so long. At least it tells you it's nothing serious. My tingling in feet is the worst and a tremble like I'm wired to the mains. Been going on about 2 months since my baby was born

I posted back here in 2007 and it's now 8 years that I still have the tingling/numbness in my lips 24/7.  I was just wondering if yours ever went away.  I am trying to deal with the fact I am going to have this for the rest of my life.  :(
