What Can Cause Tingling Sensation And Numbness From The Arm To The Scalp?
The right side of my body tingles and feels numb (like when your foot falls asleep) it s mostly my arm it comes and goes but lately it doesn t go and I can feel it numb and tingly from my foot all the way to my scalp. This sensation is starting to happen in my left arm recently. When I cough or sneeze I feel pressure in my upper right arm. My right arm feels heavy most of the time. I also don t have as much strength in my hands as I use to. I am a 63 year old female retired secretary (32 yrs).

Hi,
This is probably related to some nerve compression in your neck. Hence the pain numbness and weakness. Once weaknesses are there we need to assess it urgently by a proper examination of your hand and spine. MRI is needed most of the times. Treatment would be accordingly.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
