tingling feet

[Barre01]

hi folks

After a HA 5 years ago and a slide into Heart Failure last year I have felt much better lately and my ejection factor has improved significantly after my meds have done their stuff.

The problem that is bothering me at the moment is tingling feet. I spoke to an Advanced Nurse who checked I wasn’t diabetic and suggested it was hard skin and I needed to soak them regularly.

I have a suspicion the cause is poor circulation. Anyone else have this problem?

I get tingly feet with certain brands of Statins ! No idea why but just keep taking the pills and hoping for the best 😬😆

a known side effect of statins is peripheral nueropathy. I got really hot feet and ankles on them and stopped taking them.

Hi I get that and it was diagnosed as peripheral neuralgia, my GP gave me a very small dose of amitriptyline and It is fine now, no one mentioned it being linked to my statins but I wouldn't stop taking them no matter what. Char

I am on Bisoprolol, Dapagliflozin, Epilerenon, and Sacubitril. I have a bit numbness to the feet

I take those as well.I get something like that a bit of tingling, I suspect it is peripheral neuropathy due to poor circulation. Not sure there are any solutions, but will ask the nurse when I go in for my annual review shortly.
