Can levaquin (levofloxacin) cause tingling in hands and feet? will go to dr tomorrow but want to know how serious this is.. will it go away?

Yes: Levaquin (levofloxacin) can cause a condition called peripheral neuropathy. We don't actually know how often this happens, but probably pretty infrequently. I would hold off taking the Levaquin (levofloxacin) until you see your doctor tomorrow (unless you're treating a serious infection like pneumonia or pyelonephritis).
