A member asked:

My father is experiencing back pain (side: lower) , lightheaded and hand tingling.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Unrelated: I don’t think those 3 symptoms are related unless there’s a new medicine you’ve started (statins) 90% of back pain resolves in 6 weeks, so if it’s been longer than that, please see an orthopedic surgeon. Light headed and hand tingling can be due to medication side effects, hypoxia or hyperventilation, anemia, just to name a few

I have occasional lightheadedness, and on other occasions I feel a head-rush similar to an adrenaline rush. I also sometimes have a tingling sensation in my feet and hands. Should I be worried about brain tumors or ALS? Or is this anxiety 101?
