Faint Pins And Needles In Arms And Legs. High BP, Taking Medication. Suggestions?

Hi i have started getting very faint pins and needles, more so in my arms and legs and sometimes on my face etc. I have been like this for a week now.
I went to the doctors and she has put my on lisinopril because my blood pressure was 160 over 120 at the time but i think i was just worried so it went up.
Anyway i have been on the tablets for 3 days and still no change.

WIsh you good health. If you have any question I ll be glad to help.
It can be caused by hypertension,stress, anxiety and in most cases this is psychosomatic symptom. But your doctor should give some muscle relaxant or benzodiazepine till your difficulties pass. Sometimes it can be sign of general neuropathy but i dont think this is in your case. You should avoid noise and rest in dark room. Also dont smoke and dont drink alcoohl. ALl these can trigger your problems.If your symptoms persist you should do brain CT. Wish you good health.
