What Causes Tingling Sensation In The Hands And Feet?

I have tingling in hands & feet, where if I stand too long my feet will go numb, walking is like I am on sponges, my creatinine level was elevated at last physical, also the hole in my heart has never closed, only medication is 2 1/2 mill gram of lizinapril, what do you think? Thyroid, diabetic? The tingling is not there when I get up in the morning but after being up for awhile it starts, especially bad standing for periods of time especially during church when holding the hymnal.

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have tingling sensation in the hands and feet . Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like abnormal levels of vitamin B12 or other vitamins, potassium, calcium, or sodium , poor blood supply to the affected area , herniated disk in your spine , pressure on your nerves diabetes or transient ischemic attack or cervical problem .

Stress , anxiety and other psychological problems can also cause such symptoms . Consult psychologist for it .

I would suggest you to put your hand in hot water tun with epsom salt for 15 minutes daily , drink plenty if water and do light exercise . If condition doesn't get well then consult orthopedic surgeon for proper examination rule out any psychological problem and treatment .

If your are experiencing dizziness , shortness of breath or weakness along with numbness and tingling in legs then your should go to emergency . Doctor may recommend physical therapy along with vitamin supplement .
