What Causes Tingling Sensation In The Limbs?
Question: I have a strong tingling sensation from both of my hands to elbows and feet to knees. this has gotten worse over 3 days. I have no neurological weakness and my dermatomrees are normal. my hands to elbows and feet to kmees feel extremely weird with this intense tingling sensation. it feels funny to even have a blanket on! I have been to two doctors and an emergency department, they don't know what it is. my blood tests have come back normal and blood gas analysis normal. they have booked me in for nerve conduction tests. they said it could be a bizarre representation of guillian Barre syndrome but a psychiatrist said it could possible be anxiety (I asked one on here as a friend said it could be anxiety related. . despite some anxious history but have only haf one panic attack many uears ago but nothing like this. i have never had this before and so uncomfortable.) the tingling started in my right hand.I did have anxiety the other day worrying about it but I have calmed down more now, set a few hours but the tingling g is still present. I have no significant medical history and no drug use. does anyone have any ideas please? ?
