Tingling sensation(हाथ पैर में झनझनाहट) treatment in prayagraj

Tingling is an unusual sensation most commonly felt in your hands, feet, arms, and legs. Tingling is often associated with numbness or being unable to feel certain sensations, such as pressure or texture. The medical term for tingling is “parasthesia.”
According to the National Health Service (NHS), tingling is linked to a wide variety of conditions, including prolonged pressure on a nerve, lack of vitamins and minerals, multiple sclerosis, and stroke, among many others.

Tingling may only be mildly uncomfortable and can happen due to pressure on a nerve. For example, your foot or leg can fall asleep if you have been sitting in the same position for a long time.

Tingling can also signify more serious permanent nerve damage or an underlying condition. Therefore, it is important to work out the cause of any unexplained tingling.

This article will explain what tingling is, the symptoms, underlying causes, and when to contact a healthcare professional.
What causes tingling?
Tingling can happen due to a wide variety of conditions. A common cause of tingling is a compressed nerve.

Other causes of tingling include head and neck injuries, loss of blood flow to an area, vitamin or mineral deficiencies, and diseases such as multiple sclerosis, among many other causes.
1. Poor circulation
Lying, sitting or standing in the same position for a long time can lead to tingling. This can particularly be felt when crossing the legs for prolonged periods or having a heavy weight over an extremity, as these situations cause compression of local nerves. 

What to do: Try to move the body and stretch at least once every hour to stimulate optimal blood circulation. When working or taking long trips, you should be take time to move every 2 hours by going to the bathroom, drinking water or drinking a cup of coffee. 

2. Herniated disc  
A herniated disc occurs when an intervertebral disc in the spine ruptures or bulges out of its usually spot. This can cause nerve compression in the area, leading to tingling in the arms or hands, neck pain, or even spinal numbness that radiates to the legs and feet. Check out what else can cause of tingling in the feet. 

In addition, many patients may report symptoms like numbness and weakness. 

What to do: Treatment for a herniated disc should be guided by an orthopedic surgeon, who may prescribe physiotherapy and medications to relieve pain and inflammation (like analgesics and anti-inflammatories). 

3. Diabetes
Diabetes can cause poor blood circulation, especially in the extremities like the hands and feet. Numbness in this case may be a sign of wounds or ulcers in the area. 

Uncontrolled diabetes can also lead to diabetic neuropathy, which is a condition that emerges from consistently high blood sugars. It causes progressive damage to the nerves, and is associated with symptoms like sharp pain, burning, and tingling or numbness that affects the arms, hands or feet.  

What to do: Diabetes should be monitored by an endocrinologist, who may prescribe antidiabetic medications like insulin to regulate blood sugar levels. To relieve pain and numbness, the doctor may prescribe anticonvulsants, antidepressants or opioid, like pregabalin, amitriptyline and tramadol. Learn more about diabetes medications and when certain prescriptions are appropriate to use. 

4. Carpal tunnel syndrome 
Carpal tunnel syndrome is an illness caused by compression of the nerve that runs through the wrist to the palm of the hand. It is one of the most common causes of tingling in the fingers and hands and can cause additional symptoms like wrist pain, altered sensitivity, numbness or the sensation of pins and needles, especially in the thumb, index and middle fingers. These symptoms generally worsen at night. 

Carpal tunnel syndrome emerges due to repetitive movements, like working on a computer or with power tools. 

What to do: Treatment of carpal tunnel syndrome usually involves the use of a splint to immobilize the wrist (especially at night time), hand stretches and medication like anti-inflammatories or corticosteroids. More severe cases may require interventions like physiotherapy or even surgery. 

5. Stroke
A stroke is a condition associated with tingling in the hands, feet, arms or legs on just one side of the body. It can cause difficulty speaking or smiling, a crooked mouth and an asymmetric face, as well as blurry vision, fainting, headache and vomiting.

A stroke is a life-threatening illness that occurs due to the obstruction or rupture of a blood vessel in the brain, leading to decreased blood and oxygen to the brain. 

What to do: You should proceed immediately to the hospital so that treatment can be started. Treatment depends on the type of stroke, and is aimed at decreasing complications like difficulty moving, confusion, or memory loss. 

6. Heart attack
A heart attack, or myocardial infarction, is characterized by an interruption of blood flow to the heart, resulting in the death of heart cells in the area. It can cause a tight, left chest pain that radiates to the neck, jaw, armpit, back, left arm or right arm. Pain may also be described as numbness or tingling. 

In addition to chest pain and arm pain, other symptoms can occur, like dizziness, general malaise, nausea, cold sweats and pallor.   Read more about the symptoms of a heart attack that you should not ignore. 

What to do: If you notice these symptoms, you should proceed immediately to a hospital or call an ambulance. You should especially be assessed if you have a history of diabetes, high blood pressure, obesity or high cholesterol. Treatment should be prompt, and may involve the use of medications, catheterization or angioplasty to restore blood flow to the heart and prevent further complications. 

7. B12 deficiency 
A B12 deficiency can cause nerve damage or impede the transmission of nerve impulses along neurons. This can cause tingling or numbness that is particularly felt in the hands, feet or legs. 

In addition, other symptoms may emerge, like muscular pain, difficulty concentrating, diarrhea, vomiting or weight loss. Learn more about the symptoms of a B12 deficiency and what can cause it. 

What to do: You should see your doctor for blood testing to confirm whether a B12 deficiency is present. Treatment involves the use of oral supplements, as well as a balanced diet rich in fresh fruit and vegetables. The doctor may prescribe B12 injections for moderate to severe cases.
