Suggest Treatment For Tingling In Arms And Legs

My husband, 72 yrs old, occasionally has spells of diaphoresis. At times w tingling in arms, down his back and legs and overall weakness and pale. He is not very good at being very good at telling what happened. At times he is just clammy and dry as soon as spell is over, 2-4 min., now he just pours with sweat and no other sx. He has been checked out and cleared by cardiology a couple of yrs. ago. He is on Lipitor 40mg HS, Donepizil 10mg HS, Bupropion SR 100mg am, Celecoxbid 100mg 1 bid. The diaphoresis has been several time this week, in the cool, in bed, no reason. The spells, only once this week and w tingling and weakness, it has been a couple of months, but they usually come for several in a group then a while. This has been for the last 2-3 years. His pulse runs in the 60 s and BP low 120/60.
