Hangover question- I get tingly hands, arms and face and dont know why.?
Hi all, I am 19 and about once a month I drink in excess for a night or two in a row. Apart from that I occasionally have one or two beers a night, but I really don’t drink much at all. I do not often get “wasted” or extremely drunk, when I do that I get heavy hangover symptoms. When I drink in excess, and just get pretty drunk, I get a few hangover symptoms like a slight headache and dehydration and stomach sickness in the morning. So all that is pretty normal I guess. The thing that I’m worried about, and that I’m asking about is the fact that in all these cases, unless I only had a single beer, I get tingly on my face, head and neck, hands, arms, and at the most my feet the next morning and early afternoon, and when I’m not really, really hung-over, the tingling lasts longer than all my other symptoms. It also affects the way I feel heat and coldness to the touch. The sensation is not unpleasant, I get a similar feeling from back massages, so it doesn’t cause me discomfort, and it is actually more relaxing than anything else. I have tried to get rid of it by hydrating, easy exercise, eating particularly healthy, and going about my day as normal, ignoring my hangover. None of these help and that makes me think that it might be an underlying problem with my health. I have always had great blood pressure, I am not anemic, and I exercise regularly. I am even kind of obsessive with staying hydrated, because it defiantly helps my mood and stamina in everyday life. I don’t have any other symptoms of other, unrelated things. I do smoke Marijuana medicinally for headaches and anxiety. Heart disease is not in my family history, but cholesterol problems and type 2 diabetes are. Any ideas? Could this just be my own reaction to alchohol? Has anyone heard of this kind of situation with anyone else, and if yes then what did it turn out to be?

Numbness and tingling arms!?
Numbness means there's pressure on the nerves that should not be there. You need to know: nerve damage can be permanent. I know, because I have it. Both wrists, both elbows - the wrists due to repetitive computer tasks, the elbows due to pounding on a piano too hard for too long. I have learned how to manage it, with the help of my orthopedist, but you need to get to a good arm/hand orthopedist NOW so he/she can show you the appropriate exercises to do, the best type of wrist brace to wear that will keep your wrists in a neutral position (you may be asked to wear them 24/7 for a while) - and will also tell you what NOT to do. When I do what I'm supposed to (or I should say, when I avoid certain activities/positions), I'm fine. When I forget, I get the pain and numbness again. Really, this is so important. With the degree of numbness you're experiencing, and the length of time it's been going on, seeing a good ortho is your best bet. Someone else mentioned Vitamin B. Yes! Also soy lecithin, available at the Vitamin Shoppe or any health food store - unless you're allergic to soy. You will be amazed at what a difference just holding your wrists in the correct position can make - you'll relieve the tension on the nerves going through that narrow tunnel in your wrists. (This is assuming it's carpal tunnel - which is what it sounds like.) Of course, it takes a while for the nerves to quiet down; it won't happen overnight. Your doc may also suggest ibuprofen to reduce inflammation. Which is another whole topic - certain foods, like grains and sugar, cause inflammation; others reduce it (salmon, raw walnuts, etc.). You can find out which are best for you online. I wish you the best! By the way, if your pinky finger and the next finger feel numb, that's cubital tunnel syndrome, which involves the ulnar nerve going through your elbow joint.

That depends on the cause. If the tingling is associated with weakness or difficulty with coordination of the arm, or if the tingling is persistent I would advise immediate medical attention. If it is intermittent, a visit to your doctor and possibly a neurologist would be wise.
Tingling sensation when extending arm?
Im not a doctor but i ask a lot of questions. It sounds like its coming from you spine which most likely was caused by sitting at the computer. I certainly find my self slumping after a while. So my advise is A) Get a chair that supports you back and B) Check with you doctor and see a chiropractor or get a massage depending on whether its your alignment or muscular tension.
There are such a large number of ways they can be described as “tingling” and lots of causes so it’s hard to cover everything.The most common reason is hyperventilation- or breathing too much - affecting the acidity of your blood and affecting the nerves. This often causes tingling in fingers, toes, an around the mouth and comes and goes. The most common cause is anxiety though other metabolic causes, including endocrine problems affecting calcium (thyroid/parathyroid), vitamin D disorders, diabetes, and kidney problems need to be considered.Other causes might be toxins affecting the nerves including many drugs, lead and other “heavy metals”, alcohol, petroleum fumes and others. These will usually affect the toes/feet/legs too and often affect them more.certain neurological degenerative conditions can also cause this including “hereditary motor and sensory neuropathy” and variants which make the nerves vulnerable to pressure, and Guillain barre syndrome though there are many others.Problems affecting the brain or spinal cord need to be thought of - including anomalies like syringomyelia though most importantly tumours. If it is just involving the hands then a tumour inside the spinal cord in the neck or in the brain stem would need to be considered.As you can see - there are lots of possible causes of “tingling”. Taking a history and examining you would narrow this down to a few possibilities and it might just need reassurance. You need to see a Doctor, firstly a general practitioner or general physician, then an appropriate specialist if required based on that assessment.
What causes tingling in my face, hands, and arms?
I saw my doctor yesterday about pain and tingling I've been getting in my face, jaw, arms, and hands. I was worried, because I know a stroke would cause tingling, but he thought that was a ridiculous idea, considering I'm 23 and not overweight. And its not all of the same side of my body. Sometimes its the left and sometimes the right, and sometimes both. Anyway, my doctor is a jerk and was very unhelpful. He said I was probably just doing something at work that bothered my wrist, and the face pain was unrelated and I should see my dentist about it and not him. He wasn't really listening to me. What could cause this? I hope there's someone reading this who actually knows about this stuff. My face is tingling right now, and it's driving me crazy! I was hoping my doctor could give me something to make it stop, but he didn't even care or help at all! Please give me suggestions, it's driving me crazy having no idea what's wrong with me.
The nerves in the back of the neck, arms, and armpits become compressed. Heart attack: Tingling of the left arm along with pain in the shoulder or jaw could be symptoms of a heart attack. Tingling in the left arm can be one of the symptoms, especially if poor circulation or nerve damage occurs.
Question about bronchitis, body soreness, tingling & numbness on one side?
I have had bronchitis as well as a cold for about two weeks. Already went to the doctor, no antibiotics. I have been coughing up lots of green/brown mucus. Lots of coughing. For the past few days, I've felt mild abdominal soreness, mild lower back discomfort, chest tightness/soreness most noticeable on the left side, and numbness/tingling in right arm, side and leg. I'm guessing that the mucus/chest soreness is from bronchitis and coughing. But what about the numbness and tingling? I was playing darts the other day and also I type constantly on a laptop, could that be a cause for the arm issues? Then, perhaps I pulled or strained a back muscle which is causing the leg/back/side numbness and tingling? I am just guessing. My husband thinks I'm a hypochondriac. Maybe I am. I don't want to go to the doctor and embarrass myself complaining about all these different symptoms, but I'm scared. BTW I am 29 yr old/F Any thoughts on the cause of these various issues? TY
Extreme arm itch and tingling?
As a professional dog trainer for over 16 years, I have to tell you my strong opinion that you need these group classes for obedience training. http://OnlineDogTraining.enle.info/?kH01 Other pet warehouses are there to get you to buy their products and hang around their strore. And their trainers are their employees...never forget they have an agenda. Most of the trainers have very little education--if they had actual training and skills they wouldn't be there making just over minimum wage--trust me on this. But even if they did have experience and talent...a group setting is a terrible place for learning to take place. It's distraction training and it is the LAST phase of training not the first. You wouldn't have your child try to do their homework in a toy store, would you? Of course not...the level of distraction would be too high! It's the same with dogs. Having said that, these classes can be an excellent way to socialize dogs...but not to train them. And while they appear to be cheaper than a professional trainer...you have to attend many more sessions to get the same results because of the poor learning environment--so you wind up spending MORE money for less training than you would with a professional. Save your money and go to someone who actually knows how to train dogs. OR, read books and try to train your dog yourself. There is nothing they train at a Petsmart or Petco that you can't do yourself with a couple of hours of reading.
