Since you mentioned anxiety and panic attacks. This muscle tightness can be a sign of anxiety. Anxiety doesn't just shows up as mental anxiety (overthinking, worrying, fearfulness), it is also very much physical (muscle tightness, hand tremors or trembling hands, increased heart rate or palpitations, heaviness of head, knotted feeling in abdomen, whole body shivers, chest pain, abdominal pain). A proper mental health evaluation can be the way to go along with some blood tests. I provide online consultation and therapy support you can contact me directly on seven eight seven seven six three nine six eight two for detailed evaluation and management plan for you (medication or therapy whatever seems best after evaluation). Or you can contact me directly through practo.

I would recommend you to go for few investigations-
CBC
HbA1c/Fasting glucose
Vitamin B12
Vitamin D
TSH, FT4
Serum calcium and magnesium
If you have any blood reports, do consult a MD MEDICINE doctor.

The combination of numbness and tightness in hands, feet, face, jaw, and head â especially in someone with anxiety and panic attacks doing a desk job â is very commonly caused by hyperventilation during anxiety episodes, which changes the CO2 balance in the blood and causes exactly this kind of widespread tingling and tightness. Prolonged sitting with poor posture can also compress nerves in the neck, contributing to hand and head symptoms. Vitamin B12 deficiency is also worth ruling out.
Next Steps
Please consult me directly on Practo for a detailed evaluation â I can help identify whether this is anxiety-related, nutritional, or nerve-related, and guide the right treatment.

Hi, 😊
It is often due to anxiety, muscle tension from poor posture, or sometimes vitamin deficiencies.
A proper evaluation with basic tests is necessary.
Feel free to consult for further guidance.👍
