Question: Having tingling in the right side extremities. Tingling is increasing in intensity.
Brief Answer:
Paraesthesia
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Was the tingling sudden in onset?
Do you have associated weakness in limbs? Do you have any facial abnormal sensations as well? If you have these you should rush to ER.
Do you have diabetes or any nutritional issues? Do you have any abdominal surgery recently?
At this age tingling could be due to poor circulation to the areas. It could be poor transport of impulses in the degenerating nerves.
Avoid repetitive movements of the limbs. Do not sit if you have tingling. You have to get up and walk for 20 minutes. Do not take caffeine and alcohol.
Massage and hot water bath can be tried if you do not have other symptoms of stroke.
