What Causes Tingling In The Shoulders And Arms?

Intermiittent tingling in shoulders, arms, and hands. It started a few weeks ago, and then subsided. For a week now, it has started back and is waking me at night. It is relieved with Tylenol and aspirin. It seems to happen most when I go from sitting to standing and lasts for about 3-5 minutes.

Hi
Thanks for posting on HCM
The symptoms you present could be caused by a number of medical conditions.Some of these causes include:
-Peripheral neuropathy
-Cervical neuropathy
-Diabetic neuropathy
-Metabolic/ionic imbalances
-Neurologic problems like MS
-Liver/kidney disorders
I will suggest you see the Doctor for examination and work-ups.Work-ups like fasting blood sugar, serum electrolytes, full blood count, liver/renal function test and a neck x-ray or CT scan may help identify the exact cause of the problem.Treatment of this condition will however depend on the underlying cause.You may however
-continue with tylenol
-Eat well healthy with enough vegetables
Your Doctor will take care of the underlying cause from the results of the tests.
Hope this information will help you
Best regards
