Fingers On Both Hands Are Tingling. Eyes Are Losing Color. Took Benadryl And Zyrtec. What Could Be The Reason?

3 of my fingers on both hands & both thumbs suddenely started to tingle then right before my eyes started to loose color to my mid knuckel region. They turned dead man white/faint yellow. I took 2 benadryl & 1 zyrtec & proceeded to run my fingers under very warm water. After the pink color came back, it has stayed. I have never had that experience before. I had just eaten canned, smoked oysters, boiled eggs & peppermint ice cream. i am a nurse of 25 yrs & never seen that before. Any clue? Thanks

Hi,
Thank you for posting your query.
Based on the symptoms, we need to exclude ischemia- lack of blood flow to hands. This can be done by doing an arterial doppler study of forearms.
In addition, we also need to exclude an entrapment neuropathy, such as carpal tunnel syndrome, which can be done by doing a nerve conduction studies.

I hope it helps.

Please get back if you require any additional information.

Best wishes,
