how long can i wait with tingling to see if it goes away without seeing a doctor?

Question

Is it better to see neuro or vascular doctor for leg tingling from circulation?

Answer 1

Tingling: Tingling is not an urgent symptom. If you do not have any pain or impairment of function in the related extremity, you can safely wait until it is significantly bothering you. Most tingling is caused by irritation to a nerve. A common example is carpal tunnel syndrome; another example is diabetes with injury to the foot nerves. If its really bothering you, see a doctor for medication to help.

Answer 2

No wait: Tingling can be caused by minor cause to life threatening cause. See your doctor soon.

Answer 3

Tickling: Make him smile. Different people have different sensitivities.

Answer 4

Difficult to say: Tingling in all the fingertips of both hands can be caused by neurapthy (but this is gradual onset) , by certian medications, and by anxiety with hyperventilation. If it just one hand, then problems with the nerves on one side can be the culprit - carpal tunnel syndrome, other causes of nerve irritation. If it persists you may want to get it looked at.

Answer 5

Variety of causes: There are many potential causes for this most of which are benign such as hyperventilation. However if this persists, i would seek evaluation by your primary care physician wholwill need to complete a thorough history and physical examination with possible diagnostic testing.

Answer 6

Several reasons: We all get tinfling in our fingers occasionally but if it stays or reoccurs frequently it is worth getting it checked out by your doc.

Answer 7

Many causes: Simple things like hyperventilation may cause tingling but other causes, some even life threatening can be a cause for numbness and tingling. A more detailed history is requires such as precipitating causes, associated symptoms, and a complete physical examination with possible diagnostic testing.

Answer 8

Many possibilities: This is not uncommon and may be due to positioning. If it persists and is always located in the same fingers, it would be worth having it evaluated by a physician. You need to note where it occurs, how often, for how long, what makes it better or worse...These are the questions you will be asked.

Answer 9

Muscle spasm: There is a complex of muscles between your eyebrows that can (as with any muscle) have spasms. If this is a persistant problem, you could consider using Botox to "quiet" down the muscle in this location. Botox is actually fda approved for this muscle complex between the eyebrows called the glabella.

Answer 10

Too much: Caffeine may be the culprit.

Answer 11

People are unique: People differ in their preferences. Hopefully those around them honor their wishes. It can be painful when someone insists on tickling a person who dislikes being touched that way.
