Hello.

A pinched nerve will rarely cause tingling in arms and face and that too, bilaterally. There must be some other causes that you have to consider. I would also like to know since how many days you are having this.

Do you have a history of any back problems ?

Other causes might include diabetes, low blood pressure or substance withdrawal. Do you have any of these ?

Hello.

It looks like the tingling is due to the Nicotine withdrawal. You will have to wait for a few more days.

Congratulations for giving up smoking.
