tingling on my toung
I have had a tingling on the end of my toungue and finger tips. I get weak and lightheaded with this. I also get the shakes over my entire body. My husband says I look as though I can not see him when this happens. I have tried eating and also took a 325 mg asprin but it still lasted a while. Then I am really tired. Has anyone had any of this? I am a 62 year old female.
it is likely that you are having small siezures, of which can be worsened or extended with the use of asprin it is unlikely that the episodes could be fetal but you shoul see a docter immediately.

Welcome to the MedHelp forum!
It is difficult to comment really without examination. Excess alcohol intake, partial seizures, diabetes, spinal nerve compression high up and low calcium levels all cause head and tongue tingling. Wisdom tooth is another cause. Tingling, calf pain, dizziness etc that come and go can be due to low calcium. Get this tested and if this is low, parathyroid gland function and Vit D level will have to be tested. Tingling in tongue can be due to gastric reflux with acid coming and hitting at a point. It can even be due to low Vit B12.
Yes, menopause can cause tingling tongue syndrome and it is often refractory to any hormone replacement therapy. Antidepressants and antianxiety drugs such as nortryptiline and clonazepam are found to treat such tingling tongue or tingling mouth syndromes caused by menopause. I think you should discuss these possibilities with your doctor. It is difficult to comment beyond this without examining. A comprehensive investigation is required keeping all the points in mind. Take care!

Research Polymyalgia Rheumatica (PMR) and Temperal Arteritis (Giant Cell Arteritis). I went through 2 years of suffering, and was finally diagnosed in October 2010. All test for 2 years came back negative until I researched my symptoms and came up with this. The Rheumatologists did a SED rate and inflamation level. I also had an arterial biopsy. I have been on steroids for 3 months and have NO pain for the first time in 2 years.
