What Causes Tingling Sensation In My Limbs While Coughing?
Hi, I am a 60 yr old female and my legs and left arm tingle, prickle when I cough moderately. Afterwards, my arm and left hip ache for awhile. I am on medication for high blood pressure, have spondylitis between my shoulder blades with 3 discs between shoulder blades slightly wedged. One was found to be fractured a year or so back. I am 5 7 tall, overweight at 16 1/2 stone (due to not being able to walk very far as I had a grade 3 fracture to my ankle in 2003). I am now on Zoloft and Rani2. Are the feelings I have in my legs and arm anything to worry about do you think. They only started about a week ago? Regards, Jenny
