I have fibromyalgia and have those issues sometimes! I agree probably best to see a doctor to rule out other conditions and ease your mind.

A rheumatologist diagnoses it! They will rule out other conditions like rheumatoid first through a blood test then ask questions about your pain and sensations. They may also do a tender points test where the doctor will exert pressure on spots on the body that are known to cause pain for people that have fibro and record how long it hurts.

@mtngoat my aunt and my mom both have fibromyalgia, so that could be a possibility, how do they test for it?
You may want to see someone to rule out the other stuff, but anxiety can absolutely cause tingling and pins and needles type feeling. I have other health issues that cause it but also have found it to be common with anxiety.
