Can anxiety cause sensitivity of the skin, paresthesia, warm feeling?
Post Body

I have had a not very nice couple of years with various things happening such as having to take custody of my Son, moving my Father into my home & having myself & my Father genetically diagnosed with a condition that could be life threatening depending on the type we had. Then to top it off my Father was diagnosed with lung cancer in November 2020 & I had to care for him in his final months. He passed away 3 weeks ago & I had to arrange everything. I started having palpitations & I already suffer with health anxiety so this went through the roof. I was Googling all sorts about myself getting Lung Cancer & other things. Then I started panicking about not having life insurance & a Will in case anything happened to me & my Son was left without a Father.

Things have slowly started getting back to normal. However, I have what I think is called paresthesia above my eye brows across my forehead. It isn't painful or numb, all I can describe it as is a warm feeling. I can definitely feel something & it comes & goes but I am honestly not sure if I am just getting super aware of feelings within my body & panicking. Plus I was suffering with what the doctor said was Sinus problems so I am not sure if the paresthesia is anything to do with this.

Maybe it is in my head? Maybe I am causing the feelings with the worry then Googling & making it worse thinking it could be MS or something.
