What Causes Numbness And Tingling Sensation In The Hands?

Hi. 6 months ago i noticed a tingling sensation in my hands, causing them to go numb. Usally when I would get mad while driving or when I got over worked crying, once even when I was intoxicated. The first time it got so bad my muscles in my hands clenched so tightly I couldn t open them, causing a lot of pain. The next time it happened bad I lost control and feeling of my tongue, my eyes were almost vibrating back and forth. Some days it ll come out of no where, bothering me with nothing more than the beginning tingling sensation in my fingers. When this happens my fingers twitch and shake, almost like they re remote controlled. It s happened most times I ve sat in a hot tub as well. The hospital doc said I should steady my breathing, it s an anxiety attack. But sometimes I m not even panicking when it starts. I ve tried concentration on my breathing and sometimes it helps, but it s gotten to the point I don t want to live in my own body anymore for fear of whatever this debilitating thing is.

hello there,
the complains can be due to calcium deficiency.
we cannot rule out anxiety and various deficiencies.
kindly do complete blood count, blood calcium, blood cholecalciferol, blood electrolytes.
till then u can try tablet shelcal twice daily, cholecalciferol capsule or sachet once every week, tablet becosule once a day, tablet alprazolam 0.25mg at bed time.
avoid alcohol intake if possible.
relax and let us know the results of reports and medicines.
you can consult the same with your doctor too.
