Can you stop your PMS med for a week or two to rule that out since you think that's the culprit?  That's probably what a doctor would have you do.

I know having low calcium levels can cause tingling, but if you don't have thyroid or parathyroid issues, that's probably not the case.  Also, if you haven't had your blood pressure checked recently, you may want to.  Best wishes.
