What Causes Tingly Feeling In Arms And Fingers After Taking Ballerina Tea?

I am 30 years old. I have been excercising a lot. Recently I have hit a weight loss platuea and have been trying everything and anything to jump start it again. I was taking diet pill..and ballerina tea. Anything to help drop a few pounds to get me back on track. When I take the ballerina tea I get a tingly feeling in my left arm down to my fingers..I don t think a heart attack but what else could it be?

Hello and thanks for writing.

Your symptoms could be due to Raynaud's Phenomena. It is an exaggerated vascular response to cold temperature which leads to an abnormal constriction of cutaneous blood vessels leading to localized decreased blood flow to extremities. I would suggest you go and consult your physician so that you can be investigated as it may be secondary to certain diseases like scleroderma or CREST. In the mean time you can avoid cold temperatures and keep extrimities warm by wearing gloves and other measures.

Hope it helps.

Regards
