What Causes Headache And Tingling Sensation In Right Hand?
Hi. I am a 48 y.o. male living with HIV for 20 years now. Otherwise healthy with cd4 of approx. 700 and undetectable vial load. I weigh 205 lbs and measure 6 3 . I recently started having throbbing headaches when I masturbate and right after ejaculating. At the same time, I am feeling some tingling and weakening sensation in my right hand, more specifically my thumb. Can they be related? Is this serious? Does it warrant any kind of examination? Thank you kindly.
I am pleased to learn that you are taking good care of yourself for 2o years and keeping good health. After sex(in your case 'self sex-you call in masturbation), some people may get' migranous type of headache. These numbness/tingling(neuropathy ) sensation could be iatrogenic(drug induces) -I guess you are on some kind of ART(Anti Retroviral therapy) -some of which like -Stavudine, didanosine and some related medicines can cause this. These -headache and tingling -are not related. Yes , you need to see your physician for 'tingling problem' for adjustment of medicines.
