I ve had tingling on my back under my bra hooks for over a year. It comes and go, so I didn t give it much thought. In the past two weeks, my feet have been tingling a good part of the time. Within the last three days, my hands have begun to tingle, also. Today I ve felt a few of the same sensations on my upper lip on the right side. My ankles feel tight and my right hand feels heavy. Any thoughts?
Hello! Thank you for asking on Chat Doctor! I understand your concern and would explain that your symptoms could be related to different causes: - a cervico-thoracic column disorder, leading to nerve and articular compression. - electrolytes imbalances (calcium, potassium, magnesium)- anxiety could also mimic all this clinical situation-multiple sclerosis would recommend consulting with a neurologist for a careful physical examination. Depending on the physical exam further tests may be needed: -a brain MRI study in case of suspicions of central nervous system disorders.- a nerve conduction study in case of suspicion of peripheral nerve disease, including nerve compression and neuropathy.- some blood lab tests (complete blood count, fasting glucose, PCR, sedimentation rate, thyroid hormone levels) would also help exclude other causes. Hope to have been helpful! Best wishes,
