What Causes Sudden Pins And Needles In Leg With Low Heart Rate?
Hi, I experienced a problem on my last flight - it has never happened before. I woke up and felt I had to move. My legs were pins and needles. I began to panic and they put me on oxygen, my heart rate was only 40, taken by a nurse on board. I had a heart attack 8 years ago and am 62 yr old female

Hello
I understand your concern and i want to tell you that you should get your blood sugar levels checked for diabetes. As pins and needles are the presentation of diabetes. Also you need to consult your cardiologist as your low heart rate can be due to the medicines which needs to be adjusted.
Kind Regards
