Burning legs/skin due to Anxiety

I have had a lot of anxiety over the last couple of days and now feeling my skin burning mainly legs/arms. I am wondering if it’s anxiety.

Anyone ever had this.

Anxiety can absolutely cause odd bodily sensations. I get wicked pins and needles and weird burning sensations in my arms when I’m really stressed/worried.

Hey there, I totally understand what you're going through. I've definitely had times when my anxiety has been high and I've experienced that burning feeling in my skin, especially on my arms and legs. It can be really weird and uncomfortable.

Anxiety can definitely manifest in some strange physical ways. When we're stressed, our fight-or-flight response kicks in, and that can cause all sorts of sensations, including burning or prickling skin. It's not uncommon at all.

But yeah, you're definitely not alone in experiencing this. Anxiety can be such a physical feeling sometimes!
