What Causes Tingling Feeling In Feet And Arms?

I have been having tingling in both my feet and left arm and also occasionally a feeling of goose bumps. I sit at my job for long hours a day and get neck adjustments from my chiropractor at least once or more a month but have never experienced these symptoms before. The chiropractor told me I could possibly aquire a herniated disc from long hours of sitting . I was also started on Desipramine earlier in the week for depression and anxiety so wandering if this could also be an adverse reaction to the drug. I stopped taking the drug a couple of days ago but symptoms are still present. I m getting anxious about possibly have a herniated disc from sitting at my computer for so long. Could you please help with some advice?
