Can anxiety cause numbness in the region between the nose and the upper lip?

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I can understand your concern, and I will help you with it. Yes, facial twitching and numbness can sometimes occur as a result of anxiety. Answer me the following questions Why do you feel anxious? Is it due to specific past experiences? Do you have specific existing health conditions that make you feel anxious about your health? When the same condition was encountered a year ago, what was the duration? Do you take any medications? Have you been on any anti-anxiety medications? Kindly, revert back so that I can suggest a further course of action. Thank you.

Hello,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

It is good to know the details. I understand the emotional trauma that you had to face as a kid. Seven different antidepressants is a lot of medication. And as you said, you are not on antidepressants anymore, I believe you stopped them under medical supervision, and it was not self-planned. Weaning off antidepressants is not always easy and can have diverse manifestations. For now, I advise you to try to ignore the obsession you are having with the sensation around that area. And try to avoid touching the particular area. In addition, I suggest you take vitamin B12 (Methylcobalamin) tablets 1000 mcg, one tablet daily for one month. Sometimes, there is a deficiency o vitamin B12 can cause numbness. For anxiety, you should try some breathing exercises and walk for 30 minutes regularly. I wish you good health. Take care and thank you.
