Question: I am having tingling in my hands, feet and on my face. I just started taking doxycycline hyclate for a tick bite and lisinopril 10mg for high blood pressure. The feelings lessen when standing but kept me awake all night. I started both meds on Thursday.

Brief Answer:
Doxycycline may be the culprit.

Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome to "Ask a Doctor " service.

I have read your query and here is my advice.

If your symptoms started after doxycycline use, this may be the culprit.

A dysfunction of peripheral nervous system also may result in tingling in the extremities.

I think you should discuss with your Doctor about the possibility of stopping doxycycline.

Hope you found the answer helpful.

Let me know if I can assist you further.
