Hey Friends, I’m having some weird numbness in my right foot that I think is caused by anxiety. 

I have medical/health anxiety, so I often believe there’s a bigger issue when there isn’t. 10/10 I’ve made a big to do out of nothing. 

Last Thursday I was in Palm Springs for vacation and woke up with two small bites on my foot, similar to a bug bite. Of course my brain took me down the rabbit hole of a bat/ venomous spider / snake bit you because I was out in the desert.

The bite itched a little and scabbed up in one day, but I’ve been having weird almost constant numbness/tingling m in my right foot, sometimes in my right hand, shin, other foot where the bite was since that morning. Ibuprofen and Tylenol don’t make it much better. I notice it’s much better when I’m active, distracted and doing something. 

I have full movement and full feeling in these areas so there’s really no other symptoms. 

Basically, I’m here to ask, have you experienced this before? My goal is to not freak out, let it be, and not go to the doctor until it doesn’t get better after a week, but I’m struggling. 

Any thoughts here?
