question:I have a sensation of something crawling on my face cant see anything. when I rub my face with alcohol I can get some relief but notice, activity of something moving in my nose, eyes, eye brows increase. After 30 min or so the activity starts again. Sitting on the couch in the house I feel something that seems to bit my hands, wrist, feet and the back of my ears. No matter if I am at home or somewhere else I feel like something is always flying in and around my ears and the crawling on my skin. I think at times I may see what is bitting my hands/feet/ ears but its tiny. what ever is crawling on my face I can not see. driving me crazy.

answer:Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice. I passed carefully through your question and would explain that your symptoms could be related to anxiety, considering the fact that your Holter monitoring has resulted normal. Anyway, I recommend checking your thyroid hormone levels in order to exclude possible thyroid gland dysfunction. A Head Up Tilt test is also necessary to investigate for possible orthostatic intolerance (postural tachycardia syndrome) which could be related to neuropathy. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Regards, Dr. Iliri
