Welcome to HCM.
Your wife is having a tingling from elobow downwards. Look it may not be related to the disease or medications. Few days of steroids or benadryl will not usually cause it. It may be due to some pressure over elbow region, that we encounter in daily life like watching tv on sitting a chair. So no need to worry about it. Just wait for few more days if it persist or gets aggravated then consult a physician.
Good luck.
