Suggest Treatment For Pins And Needles Sensation On Arms, Face And Chest
I occasionally experience a sudden feeling of heat in my upper extremities, followed by a feeling of pins and needles in my arms, face and chest. I start sweating from my face with feelings of nausea. These feelings dissipate within a few minutes. I do suffer from a generalized anxiety disorder. Can this be a symptom of the anxiety.

These symptoms are pointing towards neuropathy. There are many causes of neuropathy such as diabetes, chronic renal failure, leprosy, vertebral compression, vasculitis, shingles and hypothyroidism etc. Cause needs to be identified. There is a role of methylcobalamine in treatment of peripheral nerve damage caused by metabolic disorders.
Advice
1. Investigations – blood sugar (fasting & postprandial)
2. Tablet methylcobalamin 500 mcg once daily per oral for 3 months
Thanks
