Tickling Sensation In Feet, Hands, Sleeping Pills, Irritating. Visit Doctor?

Hi, i am a 19 year old girl who is experiencing tickling sensations in my feet (mainly) and sometimes in my hands when I am trying to go to sleep. Usually I take sleeping pills because the pain is so irritating and all i want to do is sleep. I was wondering if this is cause by something or if I should make an appointment with my regular physician. Thank you.

Hi,

You have tickling sensation in your feet only in the night or throughout the day? Is there a particular position in which you get that sensation?

Is there any numbness involved. You may need thorough check up. Do not continue taking sleeping pills to fall asleep.

I would suggest rather than self medicating yourself why dont you make that appointment with your physician you are contemplating?

He/She might get some Blood tests and X ray of your spine and find out the real cause for you problem. Till then stop those pills.

Take care
