tingling

[mia1272]

I am not sure if i am to ask about this in this forum but here goes, Today all day i have experiencing tingling in my left cheek and when i close my eyes my left i feel different, i am also experiencing this tingling in my left fingers and arm. I went 2 weeks ago to a neurologist for migraines (which i did get diagnosed with) and he told me to change my diet around for the migraines, this is a new problem i am experiencing. I am scared to find out what it is.
Please help!
Thanks

Hi.

Did the tingling sensation occur during migraine episodes? Any other symptoms such as neck pain/numbness?

At this point, there isn't any clear indication of what may be causing your symptoms, although there is a possibility of some nerve compression at the cervical spine area which may explain your condition.

If you are concerned about this, you should consult your neurologist for further assessment of your symptoms.

Hi,
How are you feeling now?
Tingling and numbness are signs of some peripheral nerve compression.
But, they can be due to lot of other pathologies also like, if you are patient of hypertension, migraine, and this can also be a transient ischemic attack.
If it is TIA, there are 10% chances of getting a stroke in next 90 days.
If your neurological exam is normal, then you should get a scan done to rule out any pathological state.
If you are still having annoying symptoms’, then it is better to re consult the physician.
