What Causes Tunnel Vision Along With Tingling Sensation In The Hands And Feet?

Hi. I am a 55 yr old female who yesterday had 3 briefly faints which was strange to me. I had tunnel vision, completely wet, instant flush and pins and needles in my hands and feet. I also suffer even now with very achy muscles in arms, back and legs. I was not stressed at the time, very relaxed, do not take any meds, was not dehydrated or have low blood sugar. I was taken to emerg and they didn t find an answer so I went home. I have been exhausted ever since. Worrisome to think this happpened to me. Any thoughts?

Hi,

- Your symptoms could be due to peripheral neuropathy (vitamin B12 deficiency, spondylitis compressing nerves supplying legs & hands, carpal &tassel tunnel syndrome), diabetic neuropathy or rise in blood sugar.

All of these producing tingling, sweating, diminished vision. Sudden psychological or physical stress also can induce such symptoms.

-Another possibility is vision problem like early glaucoma... which shows gradual tubular vision & first 3xpirience of such vision problem can cause psychological stress &all the symptoms.

* In short, you need to check your diabetic profile, ophthalmic checkup &also spinal health, in order to find &control possible cause for the episode.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr Vasudha Jayant Athavale, General & Family Physician
