hi,

thank-you for providing the brief history of you.

A thorough neurological examination is advised..
As you have tingling, pain etc of upper limb and lower limbs I feel it may be due to any nerve impingement in cervical spine for the upper limb and lumbar spine for the lower limb.

Also tingling and numbness of face can be due to cranial nerve pathology or may be a brain issue for which a thorough neurological assessment is advised followed by an MRI of brain is required.

Most times the Neurological symptoms are confused with the cervical spine so differentiate the pathology a thorough neurological assessment is required.

Also, as you have a regular blood pressure with no other issues as per the past report, undergoing the complete blood routine may help provide inputs too.

REGARDS
