Hi,I am Dr. Prabhakar Koregol (Cardiologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
What Causes Tingling Sensation In The Arms And Leg Cramps?
I have low blood pressure that is causing a strange sensation. Limbs feel heavy, arms become tingling with pain that rolls across my shoulders into chest, back and neck. Feels like I am going to faint. I have pain in my right hip and I get leg cramps every night while lying down. My breathing is shallow and I am very tired.
Regarding your c oncern, I would explain that your symptoms could be related to low blood pressure or a metabolic disorder (electrolyte or hormonal imbalance).
Coming to this point, I would recommend performing further tests to investigate for the possible causes:
- complete blood count for anemia - blood electrolytes - vitamin D levels - thyroid hormone levels - fasting glucose - kidney and liver function tests - a resting ECG and a cardiac ultrasound - cortisol and aldosterone plasma levels to examine the adrenal gland.

Hello! Welcome and thank you for asking on HCM! Regarding your c oncern, I would explain that your symptoms could be related to low blood pressure or a metabolic disorder (electrolyte or hormonal imbalance). Coming to this point, I would recommend performing further tests to investigate for the possible causes: - complete blood count for anemia - blood electrolytes - vitamin D levels - thyroid hormone levels - fasting glucose - kidney and liver function tests - a resting ECG and a cardiac ultrasound - cortisol and aldosterone plasma levels to examine the adrenal gland. A Head Up Tilt test is also necessary to investigate for possible orthostatic hypotension. Hope you will find this answer helpful! Kind regards, Dr. Iliri
