Hi,

Feeling hot in the face and tight in the chest area mainly in your back after getting back up from drying your legs is referring to possible changes in blood pressure (BP). What worries me is the tingle and numbness you felt in your right arms. That could be due to vertebral spine problems, immediate stretching of back muscles.

I advise to monitor your BP, and record the result and run a complete checkup examination for your age including blood work and EKG, echocardiogram, etc.

Try to avoid sharp movements of the back.

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

Regards,
Dr. Albana Sejdini,
