What Causes Tingling Sensation In Neck With Headache?
I have a tingling feeling in the left side of my neck shoulder, arm, and leg. I had a headache earlier by my left temple, which I took an 800mg Ibuprofen for. The headache is still kind of there. I've also had a dry cough (I will produce mucus occasionally) for the last week. What is this and what should I do?

Hello,
Thank you for trusting HCM.
tingling sensations, numbness, and sometimes pain might be due to nerve impingement ( pressure on a nerve), please refer to a neurologist if symptoms persist, your doctor might want an X-ray or an MRI (magnetic resonance image) to role out any cervical disc prolapse, and will be able to prescribe efficient treatment. hope that helped.
Best regards,
Dr. Nazzal
