What Causes Tingling Sensation On The Right Side Of The Body?
Woke up last night after about 1-1/2 hours sleep. Fe(t like I was being pricked with hundreds of needle on right side of my body (head to toe). Felt very hot, but asked wife if I felt warm to the touch; she indicated my temperature felt normal. I take Niaspan, aspirin, Simvastatin and Plavix (equivalent) just before bedtime. Any clue? Thanks.

Tingling numbness and pins and needles sensation also called paraesthesia ,can be due to peripheral neuropathy.
It generally occurs due to deficiency of b12 and folate, or diabetes.
please check your blood sugar fasting and post prandial.also check serum B12.
take b12 and folate supplements like 2B12,or meganeuron for 1mth.
eat a balanced diet consisting of plenty of fruits ,green vegetables,milk ,poultry,fish etc.
Other causes of paraesthesia is pressure or inflammation of nerves due to any reason,peripheral vascular disease, alcoholism,
injury,infection,etc
