What Could Cause A Numbness And Tingling Sensation In Left Hand That Moves On Till Eyes?

My sister is 52 and has numbness and tingling in her left hand and a twitch that comes and goes in her left eye. Went to ER and they kept her overnight to check heart, arteries, blood, etc. and all was fine. Any suggestions on what could be causing this? Thanks!

Hi your sister has tingling in her left hand and twitching in her (L) eye.In my opinion the tingling in her hand could be caused by 1. Carpal tunnel syndrome where there is pressure on median nerve in wrist .2. Cervical spine where there could be pressure on one of the nerves. I would suggest that you get 1. X ray cervical spine 2. NCV both upper limbs and S Vit B12. Occasional twitch in the eye in common and there is nothing much to worry about it. In the meantime I suggest that you start taking Gabapentin , Vit B 12 supplementation .
