How Can Severe Tingling Sensation In The Arm Be Treated?

I m 62 years old and have worn a fitbit on my left wrest for most of 14 months taking it off while sleeping. I started getting a tingling feeling in my left arm by my bicep. I feel it more when my arm is resting on a table. I have removed my fitbit now for 8 days. It is not painful, just feels like my arm is asleep. I have also experiences my a twitch in my right eye a few times. Any thoughts?

Hi
Thanks for posting your query on HCM
I have read and understood your concern
Tingling sensation in the arm could be caused by medical conditions like:
-Cervical neuropathy
-Ionic imbalances
-Vitamin deficiency
-And others
I will suggest you see the Doctor for investigation.Tests that may help include: fasting blood sugar, serum electrolyte, vitamin levels and others if need be depending on the Doctor's diagnostic orientation .In the meantime, i will advise you try the following:
*Eat well and healthy with enough green vegetables
*You may take some b complex vitamins
*Regular massage of the arm
Then see your Doctor for a complete neurologic evaluation.
Hope this will help.You may write back if more concerns
