What Causes Pins And Needles Sensation From Head To Hip?
In the past two weeks, moments before I start sweating, I get extreme pins and needles. It starts in my head and sometimes travels down to my hips. The moment I start sweating or cool down, the sensation disappears. I am positive it isn t an allergy. It also started to happen very recently and I haven t made any lifestyle changes. Thank you in advance for your advice!

Hello,
The pins and needles sensations that you are having can be related to low levels of vitamin B12 or due to an electrolyte imbalance. Taking electrolyte rich fluids and starting with proper supplements will help.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
