numbness

[Kisha1978]

I have been experiencing a numbness and tingling sensation in my right arm and hand from the elbow down to the finger tips and in my left foot. It's been coming and going for about two weeks now. I'm 33 yrs old, 170 pounds and I work out 3 times a week. I have been diagnosised with high blood pressure about a yr ago and I'm currently taking Norvas 10 mg and hydrothori ? a water pill. Just wondering what could be cause this numbness.

The Dr sent me for an MRI and they found a cyst pushing on my brain. They don't think it is the cause of the symptoms (which have continued to get worse) and they have ruled out MS as well......Got a follow up appointment with my primary care next week and waiting on a 2nd neurology follow up appointment. Hope they figure this out soon whatever it is.

I have been doing research on this same type of thing....I am 32, 150 pds, and chase 3 very active kids around all day every day. The tingling has gotten so bad at times with me that I can't do anything with my hands and when I try to pick things up like my coffee cup or car keys I drop them. At times I have trouble walking because I can't lift my feet enough during an episode of the tingly numb feeling. It is very strange and it is totally freaking me out. Most of the research I have done online has pointed towards MS, which is only freaking me out more. I finally gave in and made a Dr. appointment for the beginning of next week. Good luck and hopefully it is nothing serious for either of us :)

This is usually associated with a spinal condition. I recommend you see a spinal specialist. It could be associated with swelling from physical exercise. It could simply be a compressed nerve.
