What Causes Tingling In Arms, Hands, Legs, Face And Neck?

Hi, I am having tingling in my arms, hands, legs, face, the left side of my neck, and left ear. My left ear feels as if it s stopped up a little. I feel not quite in total control, as if I were in a swimming pool, and my arms are in the water.....For a short time, the left side of my head hurt...not sharply, but a pain.. I m just not feeling well...

Hello,

As per my clinical experience, tingling at various body parts such as arms, hands, legs, face and neck do indicate possible cerebrovascular accident or transient ischemic attack. The compromise in the blood circulation of certain territory of the brain circuits is responsible for whole body effects depending upon the range of blood supply.

The body not under control is best evidence for that as well. Usual cases are related to hypertension and less number of causes are of cerebral aneurysm and others. Kindly approach nearest ER with possible need of MRI brain or else.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel, General Surgeon
