Hello,

I had seen your complaints and understood your discomfort. Your summary of complaint is tingling and numbness of arms.

As you got symptoms suddenly, it is not due to any chronic disease (autoimmune disease or infections). Other causes may be due to alcohol, acute infection or vitamin deficiency. As you are not having fever, infection can be ruled out.

You can go for:
1. Neurological examination
2. Nerve conduction tests

Most probably it can be due to toxins or vitamin deficiency. So, take care food and start vitamins tablets.

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

Regards,
Dr. Vamsi Krishna Chittimoju
