What Does Tingling Sensation In The Arms, Legs And Lips Indicate?
Wife age 65 has been having tingling, usually for just 10-20 seconds, left leg, arm and sometimes lips. Went to ER last week; ran MRI, CRT, EEG, EKG, blood work, etc.--all negative; Had elevated blood pressure, and they prescribed new medication for that and discharged. Symptoms have continued, once or twice a day for the last 4 days. YYYY@YYYY

Hello and welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Tingling and numbness may be due to hypocalcemia or hypokalemia or neuropathy or infection etc. Until examination is done it is difficult to say what it is. Please consult your physician he will examine and investigate for serum electrolytes and nerve compression .Treat you accordingly.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
