What Causes Tingling Sensation In The Arms Along With Dizziness?

Hi, I am 42 years old. I can t sleep well due to tingling in my arms and hands and am today feeling it in my feet as well. I have a sluggish thyroid and am on levothyroxine. I m feeling tired and slightly dizzy most of the time. Also having a lot less bowl movements just recently. I took a half more dose of levothyroxine but it made me have raspy voice and indigestion which makes me feel I didn t need it. I m wondering if I may have poor circulation of blood and why. I don t smoke or drink and I excersise twice a week. I use to every day but am so tired lately. I have also gained about 10 pounds. I hate the thought of cholesterol medicine but maybe this is what s wrong. I have always been healthy due to diet and excersise. What do you think? Feed back greatly appreciated!

General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hi!

We will try to help you in best way possible. First of all it's sad to know what you had been going through lately.Based on the history you have shared, you need work up for cervical spondylosis and X-ray cervical spine is recommended as any nerve compression at its origin may constitute such symptoms.

Meanwhile sugar levels and B12 folic acid and D3 levels should also be monitored and replaced if low.Recent Thyroid functions should be monitored and dose should be adjusted accordingly.

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

Regards,
Dr. Saddiq Ulabidin,
