Prickly, Tingling Sensation In Feet. Normal Cardiac Results. Doing Workouts. Underlying Cause?

I am 47 y/o male in reasonably good health. I work out at the gym 4-5 times per week, treadmill, weight machines. I have a very active job, as I do not sit at a desk all day, but work on HVAC equipment. I have begun experiencing a prickly, tingling sensation in my feet, both top and bottom; not always on both feet or same side, intermittent in nature. Not diabetic, no known heart problems. Had a cardiac workup year and a half ago which was normal in all respects. Eat a healthful diet, keeping saturated fats at a minimum. Could this be caused by back strain, lumbar disc problems, or something more serious like circulatory problems?

Welcome to HCM
Go for complete body profile investigations.
Most likely this type of sensations usually occurs in b12,folic acid deficiency.
Watch for s.uric acid level and start treatment accordingly under guidance of your physician.
Otherwise also happens due to improper footwear.
Start calcium,d3 with oral as well as intra muscular b12,folic acid.
Continue your exercise.
Consult your family physician for proper medical management.
