Paresthesias: Paresthesia is a symptom in which a person feels an abnormal sensation of burning, numb, tingling or pricking. It is caused by a variety of mild to serious diseases and disorders. It can be short term such as with an anxiety attack or ongoing when it is due to a chronic condition such as diabetes. Diagnosis as to the etiology of a paresthesia requires a physical exam including neurologic exam.
