Specializes in Allergy and Immunology

Unrelated: your blood test result isn't related to the tingling you have in your arm and hands, it could be a pinched nerve or carpal tunnel syndrome, you may want to check with your doctor or ask for referral to a neurologist if problem persists, wish you wellness
