tingling fingers

[jkv44]

Does anyone experieince tingling finger/feet with thyroid issues? I also have muscle aches/spasms which is supposed to go along with hypo but I also have hyper symptoms. These include racing heart while sitting/fast pulse, anxiety, fatigue, trouble sleeping all night, weight loss, sadness/depression. Generally am stressed since I don't actually have an exact diagnosis yet.

I think my GP thinks I'm nuts and have seen a therapist to help deal with the anxiety. Does anyone feel this way sometimes?

This website is a god send to know that others feel the same and are dealing with the same issues.

You could be me! Very bad tingling and cramping in legs. soreness. I'm 41 and move like im 71.  I started taking b12, b-complex, magnesium and vit d supplements about 2 months ago and that did help quite a bit.  I would say 50% of feet tingling is gone.  
I feel like a novice captain of a ship steering it through a sea of storms searching out better lands.  There are so, so many symptoms to deal with when that little thing in your throat goes bad. You may go through 10 physicians till you find one that is willing to treat you and not your labs.

Calcium and Vitamin D are a must!
And yes the thyroid issues do cause tingling and numbness of the fingers....usually Hypo.

Definitely get your calcium and Vit D levels checked! Having low Vit D will mean you won't be absorbing calcium. VERY vital in your well being regardless of thyroid issues!

I have hypo and all the glorious hyper symptoms.  I am currently dealing with no sleep.  I think the tingling could also be from the rapid heart rate.  Before I was put on Beta Blockers and anti-anxiety meds, I was having all the gory stuff: Severe heart palps, anxiety, numbness in arms and legs, trouble breathing, diarreah, nausious, loss of appetite... oh the list goes on.  Now I just feel like I am trying to sleep after drinking a Red Bull.  They tried to give me Anbien, but it did not help me sleep.  Some people react differently to it.

I had to have my thyroid removed and the surgeon advised that my calcium might be a little low if I have that tingling in my feet and legs...I'd think Chitchat9 is right on with having that checked along with vitamin d.  When the thyroid isn't working quite right it seems to skew a lot of things.

I have been recently dx with hyperthyroidism I have my first appt. with an endo the 18th Iam guessing for more tests to find out exactly whats going on with my thryoid and maybe meds.My main symptom which prompted the testing was excessive hair loss.Altho now that I looke back I was dx with panic attacks and anxiety plus depression about 5 years ago and thoes can also be thyroid disorder symptoms.I wonder now if I have had problems all along and just wasnt dx.I know I get tingling hands and feet also sometimes my mouth and tounge will tingle it happens most times during or before a panic attack.

HI .. you may want to ask for your Vit D to be checked.  Some similar symptoms to Hypo are assoc with low vitamin d.  Just my thoughts along with calcium tests to be done to make sure you are ok there, too but usually I think it would affect your face with tingling ??
