What Causes An Episode Of Tingling Sensation In Arms,numb Face And Dizziness?

If i was sent to the emergency room because of high blood pressure and given medicine on a drip, which fixed me up. Then after about an hour or so i was giving another dose of some other medicine as i was being prepped to go to a private room. I started complaining about feeling nausea and light headed. Then my arms went tingling, next my hands clamped shut and continued constricting. The rapid response team came in. My face went numb, i became incoherent and sweating perfusely. Ok my question is, was that second injection the cause of my relapse?

Hello !
I read your question and understand your concern.
I would like to know the name of the drug they injected you.
In my opinion the symptoms you describe may be related to a possible Transient ischemic attack, which is caused by a low blood flow to the brain or a seizure, a type of Epilepsy.
I don't think the injection has been the cause. Because a Transient ischemic attack can be preceded by hypertension.
I would recommend a brain MRI , a cardiologist consult to find out the causes in case of a possible transient ischemic attack.
An EEG would be very helpful in case of a seizure suspicion.
Hope to have been helpful!
Thank you for using HCM!
Best wishes Dr. Abaz Quka
