Get An Elevated Heart Rate With Tingle In Left Arm, Have Type 2 Diabetes, BP. Taking Medicine. Treatment?
I am a 38 year old male and over the last few weeks and when I am really tired and sleep deprived, I get an elevated heart rate to about 95-100 beats. This happens at night and is associated with a slight tingle in the left arm. I check my BP and its normal I.e. last night at 115/85. I do have BP, type 2 diabetes and cholesterol but all of these are well under control with medications my fasting sugar not exceeding 6.5 and BP at the high end 135/95.

Yes it is possible that your body responds to your tiredness and sleep deprivation by increasing your heart rate. this can be very well a normal phenomenon.
if it is an isolated tingling which comes only on lying down and is not associated with exertion and when occurs, is not associated with any other discomfort, i would label it as non-cardiac. if you do not have any chest discomfort/ shortness of breath/ uneasy feeling on walking /exercise/exertion, then likelihood of an anginal heart disease is very low.
still if this tingling persists, please see your physician to decipher the cause.
i hope i cleared your doubt.
