Hi,
Tingling sensation in hands and feet could be usually caused by peripheral neuropathy which is damage caused to the peripheral nerves. This in turn is most commonly caused by Diabetes Mellitus, Hypertension, Smoking or excess alcohol consumption. In some cases, Vitamin B 12 deficiency may also cause these kind of symptoms. If you were my patient, I would recheck your BP, fasting blood sugar, do some blood tests to know vitamin deficiencies and make necessary changes in drug regimen.
Take Care!
