    There are many reasons for numbness in the head and face, among which anxiety disorder can also cause numbness in the head and face. Due to anxiety, patients often unconsciously breathe shallowly and quickly, which can easily lead to respiratory alkalosis. Patients often feel facial numbness, and in severe cases, they may even experience twitching of the hands and feet. At this time, if you take deep breaths, your symptoms can often be improved.

    If you suffer from anxiety, you first need to calm down and not put too much pressure on yourself. You need to be given anti-anxiety medication under the guidance of a doctor.
