What Causes Tingling Sensation In The Arm With Metallic Taste In The Mouth?
My sister is having a tingle sensation run down from her shoulder to her finger on her right arm, then she has a metal taste in her mouth and then she has an episode where she blacks out. She s out for just a brief moment but she can t remember anything when this happens but is aware of the effects and knows when it will happen. They are not frequent enough and the doctors say that unless she has an episode in front of them they can t diagnose her. Please help! She is going to get an MRI and ENG? soon but Im really worried about her

Hello,
The tingling sensation only in the arm can be due to mild nerve root compression or irritation at the level of the neck. The metallic taste in mouth can be due to intake of any drug or dryness of the mouth. Taking methylcobalamin supplements can help.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
