What Causes Tingling Sensation In The Back Of A Heart Attack Survivor?
I have this tingling sensation that starts in my back and spreads up to my neck and arms. the feeling is like someone is rubbing poisen ivy. It is not itchy, but I have to rub it off with my open fist and it goes in a minute. I had a heart attack 6 weeks ago and take a lot of medications. Heeelp!

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Your symptoms do not seem to be related to the heart attack. A bulging disc in the cervical column could be the cause of your symptoms. For this reason, I would recommend consulting with a neurologist for a physical exam and performing a cervical spine MRI study.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
