Why Feeling Dizzy, Lightheaded And Pins And Needles In Feet?

I'm working on my feet in an air-conditioned building (retail). I'm feeling dizzy & lightheaded, and I can't feel my feet -- they've got pins & needles. I'm 41, a bit overweight (6'0", 220lbs.), and have had one or two heart episodes for which I saw a internal medicine specialist for a couple of years. This doesn't really feel like that, though.

Hi, welcome to our site. I am Dr Saumya Mittal, MD.

Read your query. That is a very significant question and i appreciate your problem. I will try my best to answer your query

Pins and needles feeling is a symptom of neuropathy. One of the most common feature of diabetes is neuropathy. So if you ar having some unexplained symptoms, I would suggest that ruling out diabetes would be a good idea.

Alternatively, I would also suggest a more active and regular walk even when at work.This will help keep up the circulation and thereby give you a chance to avoid the symptoms

I hope this helps you. Inform the reports mentioned above/if any other so I can be of help further.

I have given you the answer to the maximum considering the information provided. The results of the tests could further enhance my answer to you.

Please do understand that some details could be extracted from a detailed history and examination.
