Could Wearing Headset For Long Hours Cause On And Off Tingling Sensation In Rib Cage?

I have developed a non painful tingling sensation over the right hand side of my rib cage. It is intermittent & only seems to occur when I have been wearing a walkie talkie & headset for 6+ hours a day (req. for my job). Has only been happening for the last week or so

Nephrologist,  's  Response
Hello

Thanks for the query

Tingling sensaton over the right hand and rib cage is unrelated to the use of the headset. I would advice you to approach a neurologist for a quick examination and interpretation. It could be either spinal origin like cervical spondylosis or peripheral nerves.

I hope I was of help

Regards
