Suggest Treatment For Tingling Sensation In The Shoulders While Experiencing Anxiety

I just woke up hungry and ate a small amount of leftovers from dinner. Once I was finished, I noticed my lips are numb and my right arm is tingling from shoulder to finger tips. I recently started several new meds and found out I have peripheral vascular disease. Had 2 stents placed in right leg femoral artery. Should I be concerned or is it due to my anxiety disorder?

Hi,

First of all, you should do the fasting blood glucose to exclude diabetes and if you smoke you should stop immediately because smoking can worsen your case. Second, you should take aspirin to prevent blood clots. Third, you should take a vitamin B complex to treat tingling sensations. Finally, the right position of your head on the pillow has a role in preventing numbness sensation in your arms, you may need MRI spine lateral view on your neck to ensure that you do not have a disc prolapse.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Dr/Mustafa, Neurologist
