What Causes Tingling Feeling In My Legs And Pulse In Foot?

default
Posted on Fri, 10 Apr 2015
Question: Hello Doctor,

Off late I have observed tingling feeling in my legs and can feel the pulse in my feet.

Earlier I posted a similar question and doctors felt it may be Doralis ped artery which every one feels at times, I have done my ecg which cam back borderline normal findings were within normal limits, Echo was excellent, stress done 6 months ago has ruled out ischaemia, today morning when I woke up I felt there may be lack of blood circulation in my right leg, it was a feeling and observation, but I can jog for 22 mins non stop, climb 7 storeys of building non stop and still I can go on for 1 more storey to fall short of breath.

May be I was not sleeping correctly, but as the day progressed the not exactly numbness but the feeling became good in my right leg.

At the time when I woke up in the morning and when there was numbness like feeling I took pressure readings, they came back good, they came as 122/71, 120/71, 116/69, 110/66, 109/68.. In shot it never crossed 120 in systolic apart from that one reading, I am not suffering from any other symptoms its just that today I got this feeling so got bit panic, my Mom say everyone has that feeling once in a while, should I need to be worried ?

At times I can feel that tap... tap... tap... tap.... tap feeling in my feet I can feel my pulse in legs and at times in hand, the pressure reading those time are always normal and heart beat is excellent too during the time I feel the pulse in legs and occasionally in hands, my heart beat during those times are ranging between 60-75, most of the times its in 60's.

Should need to panic and be worried...

Thanks in advance doctor.
It was a feeling that we say in Hindi Mungi XXXXXXX XXXXXXX no pain or anything, it went away eventually, but I can feel the pulse on my legs at times without touching.

But I can jog and run, the cramps or munig feeling goes away with exercise.

Thanks doctor.

Brief Answer:
Nothing to worry.

Detailed Answer:
HI XXXXXXX

Greetings from Dr.Divakara.P

First of all there is definitely nothing to panic. Feeling of pulsating sensation over legs or hands ( sometimes even in head ) can occur normally. So just relax.

But I would recommend certain tests just to check if in case there is any problem as you have also complained of tingling sensation in legs and occasional lack of circulation feeling in legs.

For this, I advice Arterial and Venous Doppler of both legs and Nerve Conduction studies of both legs. This will look into blood supply and nerve supply to your legs.

Kindly get the tests done and revert.

Hope this information was useful to you.

Thanks for the reply doc I will certainly get this test done, where are these tests conducted, moreover today morning when I woke up I took pressure readings in both arms readings came as below :

Right Arm : 118/76, Left Arm : 122/75
Right arm : 119/74, Left Arm : 120/74
Right Arm : 113/67, Left Arm : 108/72
Right Arm : 110/66, Left Arm : 105/69
Right arm : 120/71, Left Arm : 107/72
Right Arm : 117/71, left arm : 102/67
Right Arm : 106/68, left arm : 100/64

Heart BPM throughout was 63 - 66.

Any possible signs that there are poor circulation in arms or in body, is there anything to worry with the above readings is the blood rqdings as above normal considering the readings were taken on both arms.

Waiting for your reply, thanks in advance doctor.


Thanks.

Brief Answer:
Blood pressure is normal.

Detailed Answer:
HI

Your Blood pressure reading is fine in all the arms , so nothing to worry about the pressure .

But competency of circulation cannot be predicted based on blood pressure readings , so kindly get the tests done and revert.

The tests I have advised are done in any of the good diagnostic lab or big hospitals. I don't know your location to advice more specifically.

Regards.
