What Causes Tingling And Pins And Needles In Arm While Taking Atacand?

I am 50 non diabetic, normal cholestrol, normal ECG, overweight and taking atacand 16mg for the last 4 years for hypertension. since the last 2 weeks i have been experiencing on and off tingling and pins and needles in my left arm. At night i am fine but the feeling seems to intensify when i am under stress. My doctor has advised adding 5mg norvasc but i have not started it yet. Any advise would be very helpful.

Cardiologist,  's  Response
Hello,

I would explain that your symptoms could be related to a pinched nerve. For this reason, I recommend consulting with a neurologist for a physical exam and performing nerve conduction studies.

An exercise cardiac stress test would help exclude possible coronary artery disease, although your symptoms are not suggestive of this disorder.

Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Ilir Sharka, Cardiologist
