I have been having some tingling in my arms and legs for the past 2-3 days.
Is there a problem that can cause that?
Should I be worried?
Thanks...........

hmmm...I had this about a year after I had my first son. I was still breastfeeding and my doctor put me on over the counter calcium pills. This helped alot and made it stop.


I also think this could be caused by bad circulation...which could come from all kinds of things.


You might want to check with your doctor. Hope it's nothing!

Mel,

It's probably nothing, but I think you should get a check up. Tingling and numbness can be caused by a number of factors including stress. But one thing you might want to make sure its not is a sign of high blood pressure or hypertension. Neither of which are serious if treated correctly, but you definetly don't want to let them prolong themselves without proper monitoring. As Mommy pointed out it can also be associated with poor blood circulation, but I doubt that with your age or health unless you have diabetes or heart disease and I think you take pretty good care of yourself to avoid those. Being a mom of two though, its never unheard of to have high blood pressure that's associated with stressful situations. Just put your mind at ease and go and see the doctor. Hope all gets back to normal soon for you!
