Question 1

husband having on/off numbness/tingling left side of face/arm for a few years.all tests negative.meds:ppi's(barrett's), allergy meds-10+yrs.thoughts?

Accepted Answer

Well : This could be a TIA or mini stroke or neurologic condition. This needs to be evaluated in person by neurologist her primary care physician. If the symptoms are sudden changing new onset sick immediate medical attention

Question 2

ekg/stressecho norm, bp130/80, agat score 0.5, ekg norm. tingling in left side of face, arm and leg. should i go to er? is it still cardio or anxiety?

Accepted Answer

Non cardiac pain: Not all tingling in the left arm is cardiac in origin. More than that, you have symptoms on the whole left side of the body, so it does not sound like cardiac.  Also, you had a normal stress test. I am not sure about the AGAT score--is it the general ability test score?  It may be anxiety related, but also would like to rule out neurological reasons. What is the reason for the Plavix (clopidogrel)?

Question 3

having tingling on left side of face ,near cheeks and mild pain in head. sometimes numbness in left arm. also having extensive watery eye.

Accepted Answer

Mononeuritis multipl:  you have inflammation, of multiple nerves going to your face and arms. This can be due to something as simple as a virus, or some other inflammatory process. You need to be seen as soon as possible, so that this can be treated and result before it leads to more serious symptoms such as weakness.

Question 4

can anxiety cause a tingling sensation left side of face left arm and left calf on and off today. no other symptoms. if i'm busy i feel it less.

Accepted Answer

See that you have a: # of medical conditions. I would not assume that the tingling sensation you are experiencing is due to anxiety. The reason you may feel symptom less when you are busy is that it distracts you from focusing on the sensation. Take care.

Question 5

30yr with pins & needles for 3weeks now it started in left arm/hand then right side including feet. now left side of face is tingling all the time.?

Accepted Answer

Neurologist: Sounds like a quick trip to your local neurologist. Pins and needles can be anything from a pinched nerve to a transient ischemic attack ( mini pre stroke) don't mess around and have your symptoms evaluated.

Question 6

feeling numbness/tingling right side of face& body for almost a day. what can be causing this? i felt a pinch on right arm when it started.

Accepted Answer

Need to see Dr.: You are young, so this is reassuring.  However, when your face is involved, it suggests that you are having something happening in your brain, not in your neck as could cause just arm tingling.

Ever had migraines?  Sometimes you can have other migraine symptoms without pain. The worrisome concern would be a stroke or other spot in the brain.  You need to have an exam and maybe a brain scan.

Question 7

8am entire l leg went numb for no reason about 12 l side of face went numb w/warm sensation, l arm is tingling and i'm so tired. is it due to illness?

Accepted Answer

There is a reason: that these things happened (or are happening) to you, but you need to get medical care for this.  It's not typical for illness nor, strictly speaking, for a stroke, but I do't want you to wait until you get worse to find out.  Dr. Anne

Question 8

what causes only numbness (no tingling at all, just feeling then all of a sudden numbness), in both legs, right arm, right side of face and neck?

Accepted Answer

Numbness : In young patients, demyelinating disorders is always a consideration. Other autoimmune disorders, or vitamin deficiencies may need to be excluded. Check with your physician for proper history and physical examination.  This is the best way for an accurate diagnosis and treatment.  Consider consultation with a neurologist.  Hope you feel better soon.

Question 9

numbness and tingling on left side of face?

Accepted Answer

Numbness tingling: Impossible to say without more information. However if it has persisted greater than 2 weeks, it should be evaluated. Could be anything from a temporary viral inflammation to ms, to a brain tumor.

Question 10

upper neck/back pain for 5yrs & migraines 10+ yrs. back is hurting worse daily causing severe migraines + numbness/tingling on left side of face.

Accepted Answer

Need further work up: Sounds like you may have cervical disc disease.  You might need an MRI and a through neurological exam to see why things are getting worse.  Note sudden weakness of the arms or hands is a very worrisome sign and needs urgent evaluation.
