Hi

at the beginning of my anxiety I had terrible numbness all over my head and especially down my face. I was told that the tension I had in my shoulders was causing the numbness as my neck was so stiff and pressing on different nerves and things. I was told to give it a rub and generally it did ease off after a bit.

Hope this helps

I have the same thing! And I am also often anxious, and it is likely caused by anxiety and stress - it is amazing the effect psychological extremes can have on your body.

I have that numbness regularly. A long time ago, I thought it was something serious, but because i've had it so long, I attribute it to anxiety. If I consciously think about it, I can actually cause it to happen. That's how strong the mind is. The numbness covers my entire forehead. I do have neck pain also, so maybe you are right about muscle tension.

oh my, i'm only 14 and i have that.
it's been bothering me for a few weeks now,
and i've had lots of head aches too.
i was afraid i had a brain tumor because when i searched forehead numbness i saw a link say "brain tumor" and i've been scared out of my mind ever since.
this really helped, and i am pretty sure i have anxiety or stress.
