Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have tingling sensation in hands and headache. Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like peripheral neuropathy , carpal tunnel syndrome , low blood sugar , anxiety disorder , multiple sclerosis , vitamin B12 deficiency or cervical spondylosis . I would suggest you to apply warm compresses to hands , sleep in right position , do light exercises like yoga and stretching exercises and eat healthy . If condition doesn't get well then consult orthopedic surgeon for proper examination . Doctor will take history and order certain test like CT scan or MRI Doctor may prescribe muscle relaxant , nerve supplement along with anti inflammatory . Doctor may also refer you to neurologist for migraine .

Hope your concern has been resolved.
