What Causes Tingling Sensation In The Head And Leg?
Question: From last few weeks, my grand-father is complaining about tingling sensation in his head and leg. This mostly occurs when he woke-up post afternoon sleep and keep him uncomfortable for at least 30 minutes. He has been on medication for last couple of years so can not relate this sensation as side-effect of medication also.
I am interested in knowing if this is some known symptoms of any health concern or it is due to excessive best rest (due to age).
