10 Agoraphobia Symptoms
Symptom #10: Paresthesia
Paresthesia refers to the abnormal sensation felt on the skin that can be described as tingling, burning, prickling, chilling, numbness, and more. Paresthesia can be either chronic or transient, with many possible underlying causes.
The commonest kind of paresthesia can be described as “pins and needles” or when a limb has been referred to as “fallen asleep.” In agoraphobia, paresthesia may have occurred due to hyperventilation or panic attacks that reduce the amount of oxygen in the body, leading to a general feeling of numbness or paresthesia.
