What Causes Tingling Sensation In The Body?

For the last two days I ve been experiencing a strange tingling about my body, head to toe. Night before last, I got up (middle of the night, in the dark) from my bed to walk into the bathroom (We have night lights and it s usual pretty easy to see) but I couldn t see anything but had a sensation, as if my eyeballs were wiggling and lights were flickering. I was eventually able to make my way and the sensation seemed to fade. Next day I was very sensitive to light and, sometime around noon, I began to notice this tingling. My ears normally ring, sometimes louder than other times, and they volume has been amped since yesterday. The tingling became so distracting, bothersome and I started noticing vision problems and just wanting to squint my eyes all the time. I realized, because I occasionally have them, I might be having a migraine coming on but the tingling is something I ve not had before, so I made my house, my bedroom as dark as I could (2:00 pm), took some Tylenol, removed my contacts and laid down and slept for several hours. My vision, today, seems to be slightly worse than I remember when using my glasses and I ve been sleepy all day. The tingling and ringing continues.

Hi,

Ringing or other abnormal noises in the ear are due to tinnitus. There are a number of different causes for tinnitus such as infection, excess wax, age-related hearing loss, trauma, the presence of a mass, thyroid disease, anemia, high cholesterol.

It would be best to see an ENT doctor for assessment to find the exact cause.

In terms of the tingling, this may be due to neuropathy which is abnormal nerve function. It can be temporary for some persons. Different causes include- trauma to the nerves, liver or kidney disease, dehydration, diabetes, autoimmune disease, thyroid disease, vitamin B12 or folate deficiency.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Michelle Gibson James, General & Family Physician
