Pins and needles

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.

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

Mainly legs but sometimes hands

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

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.

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.
