Weird Feeling Behind Ears

[zeustopple]

hey all! this past weekend i experienced something freaky, which i do remember experiencing before. I was sitting watching tv, and i went to scratch my scalp right behind my ear, and once i did, it felt tingly and numb, like i can still feel the area i touched without my hands being there! its scared the wits out of me, then it went away after a while. I did it again the next day, and same thing.... some sort of touch sensitivity maybe? but why does my ear feel numb? freaking out again!!!!! anyone ever had that, is it dangerous?thanks all!

I get similar sensory symtoms like this every day. I'm not sure if it is very small muscle twitches, or just anxiety playing tricks, but it is nothing to be scared about.

Anxiety would be my bet! I had some weird sensory stuff on my face and scalp at the peak of my anxiety. It really freaked me out, but it eventually went away and it was nothing to worry about. Just try not to think about it and I'm sure it will go away with time!

Yes, I get this also from neck tension. If you gently stretch out your neck it should subside. Also check to make sure you are not clenching your jaw - or even if you've had to bite your tongue one too many times this week when talking to the boss....... Time to let it all go and enjoy a weekend. )
