I'm inquiring about strange sensations.
I had this 2 years ago after a very stressful time. Once again after a stressful period I feel random sensations like water droplets on different parts of my skin for a split second at a time.
Like someone !**@! me with water. Could be on my leg, arm etc. Its very subtle but weird.
I do have a lot of back and neck tension. Could it be related?
I also have chronic anxiety. Could that cause this?
I have no fatigue, numbness or other symptoms.

thank you

The strange sensations you are experiencing on different parts of the skin (“…like someone !**@! me with water…”) that have no organic explanation might be due to anxiety disorder. Before diagnosing anxiety as the direct and only cause of these symptoms, however, you might check your blood pressure and discuss it with your primary health provider.
