What's going on when you have that "pins-and-needles" feeling all over your body? What should you do??
Question: I've had that issue more frequently lately, and I'm beginning to think it just may not be normal...
Answers: It's a lack of circulation or:
Paresthesia (paraesthesia in British English) is a sensation of tingling, pricking, or numbness of the skin with no apparent physical cause, more generally known as the feeling of pins and needles. Transient paresthesia is usually caused by inadvertent pressure on a superficial nerve, such as sitting in a position for an extended period of time, and disappears gradually as the pressure is relieved. Other kinds of paresthesia, however, can be chronic and painful, and can come from a wide variety of sources.
Chronic paresthesia indicates a problem with the functioning of nerve cells, or neurons. This malfunction, which is especially common in older individuals, is often the result of poor circulation in the limbs, or may be caused by atherosclerosis—the build up of plaque on artery walls. Without a proper supply of blood and nutrients, nerve cells can no longer adequately send signals to the brain. Because of this, paresthesia is also a symptom of vitamin deficiency and malnutrition, as well as metabolic disorders like diabetes and hypothyroidism.
Irritation to the nerve can also come from inflammation to the surrounding tissue. Joint conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis and carpal tunnel syndrome are common sources of paresthesia.
Another cause of paresthesia, however, may be direct damage to the nerves themselves, or neuropathy, which can stem from injury or infection, or which may be indicative of a current neurological disorder. Chronic paresthesia can sometimes be symptomatic of serious conditions, such as a transient ischemic attack, a brain tumor, motor neurone disease, or autoimmune disorders like multiple sclerosis or lupus erythematosus. A diagnostic evaluation by a doctor is necessary to rule these out.
Paresthesiae of the mouth, hands and feet are common, transient symptoms of the related conditions of hyperventilation syndrome and panic attacks.
Other known causes of paresthesia:
Alcoholism
Anticonvulsant drugs such as topiramate, sulthiame, and acetazolamide
Dehydration
Heavy metals
Migraines
Radiation poisoning
I would talk to your doctor. It may have something to do with your heart or the amount of circulation to your body. It may not be serious, then again it may be quite serious.
It is normal in a limb or body part which loses circulation because of how you are sitting or the position you are in. It is not normal however throughout your entire body at once.
You should get checked for MS. Thats how my mom knew she had MS cuz it started out that way. They can check a few ways.. MRI or a VEP ( visual evoked potential)- put a few wires on your head and letcha watch a checkerboard move on a TV set. Real easy tests.
i have this too please email me if u mind a correct answer at chicagosiegal@yahoo.com
Hyperventilation. Concentrate on your breathing. Breathe slowly and you will feel better. You have created an imbalance in CO2 vs O2 in your body. The underlying cause is conflcits and tension.
Aids/OR just someone has a vodo doll and thier putting pins in it
doesnt sound normal you may have a pinched nerve. i would see your normal doctor and see what he thinks. he may refer you to a chiro to get cracked.
Have you ever had your foot fall asleep? Well it's the same thing. Your not getting enough curculation. This can be for a variety of reasons. 1. your heavy and your arterys are clogged, 2. you are bending weird and closing your veins and arterys down or it could be a serious medical condition. Talk to your doctor.
