What Is The Cause Of Pins And Needles In Legs And Irregular Heartbeat?

Heart sometimes feels like it skips a beat and you get pin and needles in the legs. Best way to describe the feeling is that of a bicycle wheel, and when you throw something in the wheel it stops before the object is out the other side and your wheel goes on as usual.

Thanks for your question on Health Care Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Irregular heart beats is commonly seen with cardiac arrhythmias.
And this can cause pins and needle sensations in the body.
So better to consult cardiologist and get done ecg, 2d echo and Holter monitoring (24 hour continuous monitoring of ecg).
If all these are normal then no need to worry arrhythmia.
Vitamin b 12 deficiency can also cause similar symptoms. So get done vitamin b 12 level and if Deficiency than you may need supplements.
Don't worry, you will be alright. But first rule out arrhythmia.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
