Why am I getting head,shoulder and chest pressure

[hellotreena]

I have been experiencing the following symptoms for over a month now. Head pressure feels just like sinus but I have seen an ENT and I have no infection. I also have shoulder tightness and chest tightness. I get muscle pain in my arms sometimes I also have tingling in my face and in my tongue. I am a diabetic and I saw a neurologist this past week he claims it's all from diabetes specially the tingling. I am currently on meds but I have not seen a change and sometimes this pressure gets unbearable.......Can someone help me??

head, shoulder and chest pressure can be from your cervical spine. Insist on an MRI

Thank you so much may I ask you a question. I have the head and back pressure much more then the tingling could that mean this is more spine related instead of neuropathy? I saw my Neurologist and he claims this is all from diabetes but I don't agree specially with the pressure I am getting.

Thank you for your question. Although without being able to examine you I can not offer you the specific advice on diagnosis and treatment that you need, but I would try to provide you some relevant information about your health concern.

The localized skin irritation or tingling could be due the paresthesia after diabetic neuropathy. This neuropathy appears as a tingling sensation on skins and appears after long standing diabetes. Another possibility could be any pinched nerve in spine. If you suffer continuous tingling sensation on skin of leg, please arrange an appointment with a neurologist right away who will evaluate the possibilities here and can provide you an appropriate treatment. Hope this information proves helpful to you. Take Care & Regards!!!

What medications are you taking?  Any other medical conditions?  Lastly, where exactly is the head pressure ?
