What Causes Tingling In Fingertips While Having Palpitations?

I am 17 years old, about 160 pounds and I have a tingling in a few of my fingertips on my left hand. It's not constant, it only happens every once in a while and it's happened about three times. It only tingles when I touch them, and very mildly. I do have heart problems from when I had surgery when I was 9. The anesthesia messed with my heart and I have an arhythmia. Just about two months ago I had two EKGs and I had a 24 hour heart monitor and I got cleared by two different cardiologists. I still have an irregular heartbeat and a palpitation every now and then... but it's something I have to live with. I was just wondering if the tingling has to do with the heart... or if it possibly has to do with the fact I use the computer so much.

Hi,

It could be related to a heart problem very rarely, when there is a serious problem with aortic valve, otherwise it can't be related to heart. In most cases it is related to a nervous system, also it can be caused by excessive use of computer bottoms.

Take care
