Paresthesia - a tingling in the fingers or toes is a common anxiety symptom, often caused by hyperventilating, or fight-or-flight triggered constriction of peripheral blood vessels.

However, it can also be caused by a number of organic conditions such as diabetes, carpal tunnel syndrome, vascular disease and neurological disorders.

If in doubt consult a physician.
