Pins and needles

[Bigheart58]

Has anyone else experienced an increased incidence of pins and needles? I seem to get them a lot these days and was wondering if it could be down to my medication.

What meds are you on? And for what?

[Bigheart58 in reply to LEDBAT5]

Clopidogrel, Atorvastatin, Edoxaban, Lansoprazole, Bisoprolol and Candesartan.

Yes I am on pretty much the same Meds and have definitely have more pins and needles in my hands and fingers

I have pins and needles all the time it seems since golng back on statins, but mainly in the left hand (which is my working hand as I'm very lefthanded).

Where are you getting the pins and needles - hands, feet, or elsewhere ?

[Bigheart58 in reply to lilymeg]

Mainly legs but sometimes hands

[lilymeg in reply to Bigheart58]

possibly medication but I wouldn't assume, make sure you put it on your list to mention to your GP.

[Smileyian]

Very likely Bigheart58.

Hi, I'm noticing more tingles in hands, as have had a patch on my left thigh which has got bigger over the years, which is numb, but that's due to my Bilateral illiac artery occlusion, and the tingling in hands has only been happening for a few months, but my doctor said meds. My doctor is useless, that's why I'm in this condition, as he didn't diagnosed it properly. And too late for any op. I would check again with your Gp, good luck.

[Bigheart58 in reply to Katrinatroy]

Thanks. Will do. Sorry to hear about your tingles. I hope they can sort it out soon.

My history is somewhat different - Arrest out of nowhere, a couple of years ago, the common med is Bisoprolol (10mg daily). Pins and needles in my right hand (right handed), at night only, whilst at rest? Otherwise all ok....

Yes I got it severely with Amlodopine so I eventually stopped it. I still get it intermittently possibly Astorvastatin which I have continued to take.
