Q: numbness on tongue with throat soreness

im in a real panic at the moment! a couple of weeks ago i started with a feeling that the back and under my tongue was a bit numb and it is still happening on and off. ever since then i have been in a panic. i also started to get soreness at the top of my throat.
the thing with me is that every time i think there is something wrong with me, i trawl google for answers and search results come up with cancer etc etc and i have scared myself to death reading everything. i was at the dentist about 2 weeks ago and he did a full examination and he said everything was fine. he feels all around your jaw etc
it does seem to subside if my mind is taken off it! its all really quite upsetting and is stressing me out. i am on medication for anxiety. i am on propranolol 80mg a day.
has anyone had or got this same problem. please help me, i need reasurance big time!!!!

Hi Hollie, i have exactly the same problem. It started about a year ago... I used to be so charasmatic and lively, i felt untouchable and free to be myself around people, then it all changed. I started feeling nervous and worried around people even my family. Then not all too long ago i started getting throat pains, i have severe difficulty eating anything, followed by a very sore toungue that only creeps up when i am feeling anxcious or worried. I talk normally most of the time, and then i have spurts where i can barely pronounce my words. I really can't begin to expain how much it hurts to feel these feelings i do, t's just re- assuring to know i'm not the only one who suffers. I think i need to see someone about my problems, i really hope you (and i) will turn out alright.

Hi Karmanda...im sorry to hear of what you are going through....I know how awful things can get and it really does ruin your life! I seem to get bouts of depression and anxiety every few weeks and then i'll be fine, for say 5 weeks or so then it starts again, the worrying and the stressing about the smallest things! Sometimes i can sob for 2 hours at a time and it is exhausting. All i want to do is sleep when i am down! I really hope that you can try and get some help! are you taking any medication? speak to you soon!

Have you done bloodwork, it sounds like parestesia its tingling or numbness but, its a sign of a problem (diabetes, pinched nerves, even MS) you need to visit your Neurologist and have test done, they should be able to help you, don't just leave it as problems with anxiety.
