tingling

[Orangebrittainy]

Hey, yall.

I am used to my feet and legs tingling when I sit too long, and occasionally my arm will when I am laying down. But Yesterday morning my left arm started tingling. It wasn't numb and not quite to the sleep stage. Then my left leg started too. I wasn't feeling all the great so I tried to take a nap yesterday afternoon. Big mistake. Then my right leg and arm were tingly. My left arm (from the elbow down) has had minor pain on and off usually I notice that when everything else is also tingling. When it cooled down enough (about 9 o clock last night) I took a walk to see if it would help. It did a little but my left side was still tingling. Now today I am still having the problem although, mostly just the hands and feet, and still the left arm. I completely lost circulation just setting my arm down on the lap top (Just a few minutes ago). Now my left arm is hurting again. I had no clue I lost circulation until I got up. Its too hot out to go walking just yet. Any ideas?? I have a class tonight, so I really need to feel better by then.

Brittainy ~ have you had surgery? I had a look at your profile and nothing was mentioned..!

No, not yet, My Doctor is supposed to be calling duke so I can meet with a surgeon.

What about any meds? I am on a diuretic and tingling is a side effect. I've always had issues with the 'not quite going to sleep' feeling (now thinking it may be a result of the CoArc), but it's more noticiable now on the meds. Doc says the "benefit outweighs the side effects" so i'm sticking with the meds.

I am not on any medications, but I did call the cardiologist, and they asked me to come in tomorrow at noon.

I'm no doctor so take what I say with a grain of salt. Ask to see a rhuematologist, they can test you for neurological problems, it could be just bad circulation which your cardo can confirm or deny, or a pinched nerve or two. I've always had mysterious tingling and numbness in my fingers, I've never gotten a good explanation but I ruled out all of the bad things.
