Frequent Tingling? This Is The Cause

The causes of tingling varied, some are temporary and some are prolonged.

Temporary Tingling Cause

Tingling occurs when there are members of the body that experience pressure in a long time. This makes the supply of blood to the nerves in the area become obstructed. You can feel tingling in your legs after sitting cross-legged or wearing shoes too small.Tingling of the hands can also be felt, for example when sleeping with the head position on the arms.

Because it is temporary, this condition can subside by itself if you release the tingling area from pressure, such as stretching your legs after sitting cross-legged or releasing a crushed hand. That way the blood flow will return smoothly.

In addition to pressure, the cause of transient tingling can be caused by dehydration and hyperventilation, the condition at which you breathe too fast.

Another cause is Raynaud's disease. It affects the blood supply to certain areas of the body, such as the fingers and toes. The disease is particularly striking when the patient is stressed, anxious, or in a cold room.

The cause of tingling is prolonged

Prolonged tingling usually associated with your health condition, for example due to diabetes, kidney disorders, liver disease, stroke, brain tumor, cancer, hormonal imbalance, multiple sclerosis or multiple sclerosis, or CTS ( carpal tunnel syndrome ) or hallway syndrome carpal, ulnar nerve compression.

In addition, the drugs you are taking can also trigger a tingling, such as chemotherapy drugs used to treat breast cancer and lymphoma , seizure medication, antibiotics, and drugs for HIV / AIDS.

Exposure to toxic substances can also cause tingling. Related toxic substances, such as mercury, thallium, arsenic lead, and some other industrial chemicals.

Other factors that cause prolonged tingling are malanutrisi or body condition when lack of essential nutrients due to poor diet, vitamin B12 deficiency, and due to excessive consumption of alcoholic beverages.

How To Know The Causes Of Certain Tingling?

If you often feel tingling, you can ask the cause to the doctor. Some tests may be undertaken, such as blood tests, electromyogram tests, cerebrospinal fluid examinations, neural conduction tests, MRI tests, and nerve biopsy. But before undergoing medical procedures, your doctor will ask you about your symptoms, your medical history, work environment, your lifestyle, and family illness history.

Once the diagnosis is established, you will more easily handle the tingling you experience. For example, if a tingling occurs due to diabetes, then the doctor will remind you to always control blood sugar levels, routinely inject insulin, and apply a healthy diet.

In general, tingling can be minimized by applying a healthier lifestyle, for example:

• Routine exercise .
• Avoid exposure to toxins.
• Avoid or limit the consumption of alcoholic beverages.
• Stop smoking .
• A healthy diet.
• Always maintain ideal body weight.
• Treat and control chronic diseases if any, such as diabetes or kidney failure.

Most of the tingling cases are temporary. You are advised to visit your doctor immediately if your tingling worsens, with rashes , dizziness, muscle spasms or other unusual symptoms, more frequent urination , pain in the neck, forearms and fingers, weakness in the body or can not move, and lose consciousness.
