What Could Occasional (yearly Twice) Tingling In Limbs, Face And Slightly Slurred Speech Indicate, When All Reports Are Normal?
Hi ive been getting tinglings in my arms and legs maybe once or twice a year for arojnd 5 years now. Ive had it checked out twice and had an mri end everything came back ok. I get them in my face as well over my cheek bone and sometimes it effects my speach a small bit. My doctor has done the usually tests ie grip test raise my eye brows test and everything is ok. Im not under any stress in work or at home. Im not loosing any weight. My dr has done blood test to check for vit b12. Is it someting i should be worried about.

Hi,
Thank you for posting your query.
First of all, I would like to reassure you that there is no need to worry about your symptoms.
This is because your neurological examination is normal. In addition, MRI of brain and blood tests are also normal.
Symptoms could be related to mechanical compression of the nerves. You should do regular neck and back extension exercises.
I hope my answer helps. Please get back if you have any follow up queries or if you require any additional information.
Wishing you good health,
