what causes upper body tingling?

Accepted Answer

Two main factors: You have abnormal pressure on the spinal cord or neuropathy ( inflammation of the nerves).

Question 2

what would cause tingling, a shaky feeling in the upper body, as well as neck and back pain?

Accepted Answer

Nerve compression: Most likely you have disc space narrowing in your cervical thoracic spine.which can compress the nerves to cause these symptoms. I
Millions of Americans suffer from these annoying symptoms, for which a proper diagnosis is essential. Your primary doctor or Neurologist can order MRI of spine and brain to document this. In most cases, a regimen of physical therapy would be extremely helpful.

Question 3

numbness/tingling in middle n upper back that comes and goes. no pain. more prominent after doing upper body workout. any stretches i can do to help?

Accepted Answer

Probably okay: Need to see a physician to be sure nothing else going on but most likely no concern. What type of exercise causes it?  Does it happen mostly when doing work lying on a bench or sitting against a hard seatback?   Any tingling "numbness" in arms?   Too many questions to address this problem in this forum.

Question 4

recently bn experiencing tingling sensations when i go to sleep. i'm falling asleep when i wake up because i feel tingling all over upper body. help.

Accepted Answer

Paresthesia: Is it in you arm, hands and fingers ? or whole upper body? If it is in arms and fingers, you may carpal tunnel. If it is whole upper body, I strongly recommend to see neurologist,

Question 5

can anxiety cause general aches and pains in the upper body, along with "body zaps", and tingling sensations?

Accepted Answer

Anxiety: Anxiety manifiests in many ways.  it dampens the processes in the body not needed in emergency situations such as eating and sexuality.  A clinical psychologist can help, also the book Feeling Good by David Burns.  Peace and good health.  Your doc can examine you to rule out medical conditions.

Question 6

why is it when the massage therapist massages my upper body i get goosebumps/tingling in my legs? and why r we suppose to drink water post massage

Accepted Answer

Possibly: Not certain about goosebumps, though could be autonomic response.  If tingling in legs with work on neck and arms, then check out if any compression in the neck or upper spine.  As to the water, your connective tissues, fat and muscle store lots of things that your body has to process when mobilized by massage.  Hydration helps.

Question 7

i have pain in my hands especially on my palms the skin is sensitive to touch & painful, wrists are painful & shooting pains & tingling occasionally in my arms. my skin on my upper body hurts with just my clothes. its not usual? do i need to see dr?

Vague symptoms: Yes
Lots of undifferentiated symptoms that will take time to sort out

Question 8

Accepted Answer

Neurology consult: brachial neuritis should not cause tremors in your upper body; however, may affect your hands. Call your neurologist for a definitive diagnosis.

Question 9

i've been having tremor in my upper body and tingling in hands and feet. how rare is a spinal tumor? had neg brain mri and cts last year.

Accepted Answer

Very low:): With negative brain MRI, you should feel relaxed to have ruled out serious conditions like MS or any brain pathology. Most likely cause of your upper body tingling would likely be nerve compression in upper spine, which would require physical therapy. To confirm diagnosis, have your doctor order a spinal MRI. Feel better
