Posted on Mon, 25 May 2015
Question: I have been having occasional tingling in right side of right hand and right side of right lower leg. Started about 2 weeks ago. Very concerned! Now I'm worried it could be MS or brain tumor. Also have severe anxiety issues.

Brief Answer:
Low chances of tumor.

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thanks for using HCM.

I have read your question and understand your concerns.

More information needed about your symptoms, are the other symptoms such vision problems, fatigue, limb pain?

Also, do you have any Multiple Sclerosis history related to your relatives?

Only occasional tingling is not sufficient to judge, or to think about serious neurologic diseases.

Your symptoms may have simpler explanation such blood supply changes in your limbs, peripheral neuropathy, partial seizures ( sensory), anxiety.

Tumor usually is related to other symptoms, besides tingling.

MS starts at younger ages, than yours.

However, as a first step to properly evaluate your concerns, needed a careful neurologic examination.

So, if you like to share more information about your concerns, I'll be happy to reevaluate your concerns and help you understand better.

Hope this helps. I remain at your disposal for further questions or clarifications.

Hi dr. Spaho,
No fatigue, vision issues or pain. Just little tingly. Have occasional slight aching behind right eye and above eye when symptoms first started, not much now. That's why I thought tumor. Also on medication for reflux, don't know if there's any correlation there.

Brief Answer:
Tingling is not related to reflux.

Detailed Answer:
Hi again and thanks for asking back.

In this case of just tingling and slight aching behind eye, more probably your symptoms are related to anxiety disorder, no tumor or MS in my opinion.

There is no connection between reflux and your symptoms.

Since this is a virtual visit, as I said before, the value of neurological examination remains the cornerstone of exact diagnosis about your concerns.

So, just to be sure, I suggest you to discuss with a Neurologist about your concerns and have a neurological examination done.

Hope I helped you. If you don't have further questions or clarifications, you can close the conversation and rate the answer.

Wishing you good health.
