What Causes Fluttering Sensation In Legs And Arms While Having High BP And Cholesterol?
I am a 70 year old female.For many months now I have been feeling a fluttering sensation like an insect crawling on my legs and arms, and sometimes along my spine, normally while lying down. I also feel pain in my bones and muscles all the time, especially in my arms and legs. When I stretch the leg and lean into the stretch, it seems to bring slight relief. I seem to experience a lot of anxiety, depression and negativity, but not consistently. I do use meds for cholesterol (5mg) and high blood pressure (50mg),as well as a hormone tablet (strength 0.625) daily and wonder if this is all just side effects of the meds.I very seldom use painkillers or anti inflammatories.
this may be side effects of cholesterol medicine. so check muscle enzymes. also check ur Vit b12 and ca and D3 levels .myalgia pain and neuropathic pain can be due to deficiency of above vit. also look for screening of spine to rule out canal stenosis
