Question 1

what can cause dizziness, tingling in arms and legs? i notice it gets worse when i worry and am in public. could this be anxiety or panic attacks?

Accepted Answer

Yes but more eval: Considering your history of symptoms in public and when feeling worried, it certainly could represent a panic attack. If it increases in frequency and severity, or if you start to experience additional symptoms, you should seek further care for evaluation. There are treatments for panic attacks but other disease processes can present with similar symptoms.

Question 2

what can cause tingling in both lower arms and legs? not hands and feet. persistent for 3 weeks. also when sitting or resting. no loss of sensation.

Accepted Answer

Tricky: Ok, there's two main distributions of nerve problems: outward along an (injured) nerve or inward from the tips of (sick) nerves. Nerve problems in the middle of limbs.. all four....would not be a regular nerve distribution. Muscle weakness from electrolytes (K, Ca, Mag), sick muscles. No, not fitting with standard patterns. 
Neurologist would be a specialist in this sort of condition.

Question 3

can coreg (carvedilol) cause joint pain, prickling & tingling in arms and legs after being on it already for a month?

Accepted Answer

Side Effect: Yes it can. Make sure your primary care doctor knows. He can switch you to something else.

Question 4

rear ended 2 months ago, shoulder fracture (not broken). a week ago a jump caused shoulder pain. now tingling in arms and legs. because of the injury?

Accepted Answer

Yes, it is possible: That the recent trauma is the cause of the nerve impingement. Nerve impingement can be caused by being sandwiched between two spinal bones, pressed by a bulging disc or encroached upon by bony overgrowth. Rec.: see an interventional pain management specialist for further investigation.

Question 6

can tingling in arms and legs that comes and goes be a symptom of a brain tumor?

Accepted Answer

Unlikely: I suppose that this is possible but this would not be a typical presentation of a brain tumor.  Many other things are much more likely to cause these symptoms.

Question 7

are persistent tingling in arms and legs for a few weeks an abnormal neurological finding? does it warrant a mri scan of the brain? brain tumour?

Accepted Answer

Many causes: Systemic tingling may suggest something is going on the sensory nervous system.  What I found with some of my patients at your age is iron deficiency.  Pts will have odd sensations what you are describing including restless legs at night.  Have your doc run some iron studies including ferritin.  Otherwise a neurology referral could be helpful. Good luck.

Question 8

odd tingling sensation in both arms and legs for about a week. subsides at night and then comes back during day. what could be the cause?

Accepted Answer

See a doctor: Some medications, as well as diseases of the nervous system can cause tingling. Suggest you see a doctor for an examination and appropriate tests.

Question 9

what would cause numbness and tingling n ur arms and legs?

Accepted Answer

Many things: One thing is a peripheral neuropathy,  but that usually starts in the feet,  later gets into the fingers.  It's not really arms and legs,  but more a "feet then hands" kind of thing.  Certain meds can do it,  too.  Discuss with your doc if persistent and/or worsening.

Question 10
