Buzzing sensation in foot

[medco]

For the past 2 days, I've had this constant buzzing sensation in my left foot. It comes and goes every 6 seconds. However, when I walk, and when I do other activities that require a lot of attention, the sensation disappears.

I seem to be getting different sensations, all paresthesia, that come and go every couple of weeks.

During these periods, I also get anxious, so I'm not sure if its anxiety or the paresthesia that's the cause.

What could this be?

I also have epilepsy and panic/anxiety attacks. I am currently on Tegretol and Paxil.

To answer your questions I am 27 year old female 5'6 130 pounds, born and raised in Kansas. I have been living with Graves disease for 10 years had RAI treatment. My problems started the summer of 2006 with dull pain in the upper left quadrant. Gi doctor did upper gi, colonoscopy, cat scan with barium fluid and contrast, all normal. One week after all this calve muscles started fasiculating. Within two weeks it had spread all over. Went to gp she tested thyroid it was high she said this was the reason for the muscle problem. Six weeks later still having the muscle problems. Went to neuro who specializes in MS. Exam was completely normal, he said there are some things that just happen. One month later still having muscle issues neuro ordered EMG with nerve conduction all normal. Around thanksgiving started the Lexapro, "major side effects at first" but they thought I mite just have anxiety. I started taking a multivitamin and the muscle fasciculations improved, but by Christmas I started getting the buzzing in my feet on and off not constant, and it also rotates feet. I am a student trying to finish a BA in nursing, my medical bills are getting high so I am trying to stay away from the neuro. My gp is testing me for Celiac disease today. Thanks for any help.

Hi,

Read your post and just wanted to give you my opinion. I was dx with Lyme disease in May and have these sympyoms listed...especially the buzzing.  It is not anxiety for me me it is 100% physical.  I live in New Brunswick but do wondering if I got Lyme in the Gatineaux about 20 minutes out side Ottawa.

At any rate Lyme disease can really be anywhere so if you can't find any other answers have a look at the symptoms of lyme and get properly tested.

Best of luck.

I was just wondering if you could answer my question. If a person like me has been to the neurologist and had every blood test ran that the doctors can think of, but still having problems with the foot buzzing with nothing neurological  turning up what would the next course of action be? I would also like to add that I had muscle fasciculations to begin with those have mostly gone away, the foot buzzing has been going on on and off since they put me on Lexapro for the anxiety the fascicultions were causing. The doctors on this forum think I may have Celiac disease with is a possibility but I have my doubts, thanks in advance for any advise.

There are some missing variables that I need:

1. Sex
2. Age Range
3. Locale
4. Onset was when?
5. and any other info you think would be helpful.

I also have the same buzzing and vibrating in my left foot. Please let me know if you figure out what is causing it.

And, the same parethesias can be caused by other nerve inter conflicts such as bulging discs, annular tearings, tumor, synrx, to name a few.
These, however, tend to be accompanied with some pain.
