Question 1

what can cause muscle tension like muscles in lower back involuntarily flexing, clenching jaw, muscle pain in arm and neck? also tingling face and arm

Accepted Answer

Muscle tension: Consider electrolyte imbalance such as calcium or magnesium.

Question 2

why would i be having facial numbness and tingling on the left side of my face and scalp only?

Accepted Answer

You might: You might have shingles with no visible rash. See your dermatologist or neurologist for the answer.

Question 3

tight stiff neck constantly. headaches and tingling face, head and fingers. ?

Accepted Answer

Headache with neck: Head ache with tight neck of acute onset with fever need to rule out meningeal irritation like happens in meningitis. If it is a chronic problem for months may be related to neck arthritis, neural compression, have it checked out. If work up negative, may be fibromyalgia.

Question 4

feel tingling both hands and sometimes legs.tingling face commonly of the left side if i slowly slap.any idea please??

Accepted Answer

Electrolytes v Other: Get blood work if you haven't already to include blood levels, kidney and liver function plus sodium, calcium and others like folate (folic acid) and vitamin B12. I see you had thyroid function checked. With nausea and unusual food cravings, if these tests are all negative, then a head CT may be considered to rule out organic conditions in the brain before addressing potential emotional causes like anxiety.

Question 5

im on buspar (buspirone) zyprexa and zoloft an i i've been taking a lot of cough syrup with dxm i think i have seratobin syndrome really bad taste tingling face?

Accepted Answer

Not likely: Full-blown serotonin syndrome is a medical emergency, and can include loss of consciousness and seizures. Sounds like the cough syrup with dxm is being abused, and your doctors, who are trying to treat anxiety and depression, are flying "blind" if they don't know about your drug use. Be honest with yourself and with them, and let them know what is going on. Stop the cough syrup, talk to your docs.

Question 6

hi, i am an anxiety patient suffering for the last 25 years with all type of symptoms but thank god iam taking zoloft daily and from time-to-time clonazepam if necessary. but lately i am getting some feeling of numbness or tingling face and left hand?

Accepted Answer

: Could be an interaction between drugs, but more likely if you are on any other medication.  Let your prescriber know of this reaction  since you never had any previous reactions. Don't changes dosages of medications until instructed to.

Question 7

i am an anxiety patient suffering the last 25 years with all type of symptoms taking zoloft daily and time-to-time clonazepam . but lately i am getting some feeling of numbness or tingling face and pain in left hand chest discomfort. any suggestion?

Accepted Answer

: Please see a doctor in person. You need a full physical examination to figure out what is going on.

Question 8

heart fine but have pain in neck, upper back and chest, facial numbness and tingling in hands and feet, clicking sound when i turn my head. 1year now?

Accepted Answer

Nondiagnostic: Your symptoms are nondiagnostic and possibly unexplainable by a single disorder. More information is needed. Contact your Physician who will take a thorough history and perform a complete physical examination in order to make a diagnosis. Appropriate tests and probably xrays will be ordered.

Question 9

would nerves cuase tingling on the top of my head and scalp?

Accepted Answer

Possible: Physical cause of tingling would be irritation or pinching of the nerve that supplies the skin of scalp. Even anxiety and stress can sometimes do this.

Question 10

recovering nicely from bell's palsey. just noticed a slight tingling same side top of  my head/scalp. does that mean the nerves are regenerating?

Accepted Answer

Paresthesias: May be indicative of nerve irritability associated with re-innervation and peripheral sprouting, but could instead merely be a transient event associated with new nerve fibre sensitivity.   Either way, no cause for alarm, as most likely associated with resolution of your problem, .
