What Does Tingling Sensation In The Hands And Face Indicate?

I have been treated for high blood pressure and am taking my meds correctly. Today I am having tingling in the hands and face. I checked my BP and it is 160/101. I also take prestiqu for my depression. What could be causing the tingling? I am a 42year old female that is slightly over weight.

Hello,
In my opinion the tingling may be due to impaired blood sugar levels or nerve involvement due to vitamin B12 deficiency.
Consider getting vitamin B12 and sugar levels checked.
