Not Sure.
I'm not really sure if I'm posting this in the right thread or not. But, for awhile now I've been having a tingling sensation in my head. And sometimes it feels as if something's bubbling under my skin. Not only in my head, but other parts of my body too(the bubbling happens). Like sometimes my arms, and legs and hands. It doesn't hurt or anything, it just worries me. About three years ago my eyes started watering a lot, I went and had it checked out and the doc said that nothing was wrong with my eyes and it could just be allergies. Sometimes I get headaches, but they aren't excruciating and they don't last very long. Mostly it's just the tingling and eyes watering and bubbling. With occasional blurred vision. I'm just worried and I wanted to know if any doctors on here could give me any advice. Please. I'm eighteen and female. I don't know if that info helps at all.

Hello,
This feeling of tingling sensations that you are having are called Paresthesia. Chronic paresthesia indicates a problem with the functioning of neurons.
Are you a diabetic or do you take alcohol?Parasthesias are common in alcoholics and metabolic disorders like diabetes, hypothyroidism, and hypoparathyroidismThey can also be due to peripheral vascular disease, vitamin B12 deficiency or malnutrition.
Get your blood sugar and thyroid hormones levels evaluated. You can take some vit B12 for some days and see if the tingling is gone or not.
In case the symptoms persist then pls consult a neurologist as it can be due to some neurological disorder. Common disorders causing paraesthesias are rheumatoid arthritis and carpal tunnel syndrome transient ischemic attack, motor neurone disease, or autoimmune disorders like multiple sclerosis or lupus erythematosus. A diagnostic evaluation by a doctor is necessary to rule these out.
Treatment will depend on the diagnosis.
Hope it helps.Take care and pls do keep me posted on how you are doing or if you have any additional queries.
