What Causes Tingling Of Hands And Feet After Consuming Altitude Sickness Pills

Recently, on a trip to high altitude, I took some pills to prevent problems, but quickly I felt tingling in my hands and feet. I continued to take the pills for a few more days. But now...a month later, I sometimes feel the same tingling in my hands and feet...What's going on?
