Neurology

Sudden pins and needles all over the body can be caused by nerve problems known as neuropathies, including those linked to diabetes, or other issues affecting how nerves send signals.

Whole body tingling combined with dizziness can happen due to problems with blood flow, nerve function, or balance, sometimes related to conditions like diabetes, high or low blood pressure, or inner ear issues.

Pins and needles all over the body may be caused by problems with your nerves such as peripheral neuropathy due to conditions like diabetes or kidney issues. Keeping your overall health in check and managing any underlying conditions can help prevent these sensations.

An electric shock feeling in the body can happen when nerves send unexpected signals—this might be due to nerve injury, medication side effects, or even real electrical events.

Extended sitting can make walking difficult by reducing blood flow and causing leg muscle stiffness. Nerve compression from being seated can lead to temporary numbness and tingling in the legs.

Pain that starts in the shoulder and appears to spread down one side of your body might be linked to shoulder problems like impingement or a frozen shoulder, or even an issue with the accessory nerve. Sometimes, the pain seen in the shoulder area goes further because changes in how you move and use your body can place extra strain on nearby muscles and nerves.

The most common cause of difficulty with mental processing is stress, which decreases the amount of energy given to the brain for its basic function. Some medical issues like ADHD, dementia, brain injuries, and mental health conditions can also make it hard for your brain to process information.

Pain running along one side from the shoulder to the toe can be caused by conditions affecting the muscles or nerves, such as hypothyroid myopathy or other musculoskeletal problems. Treatment depends on finding the root cause, which may include medications, physical therapy, and lifestyle changes.

Left shoulder and left leg pain might be linked through similar muscle or nerve issues, where weakness or abnormal movement from one area adds strain to another.

One sided body weakness can be caused by a stroke, very low potassium levels (hypokalemia), or rare brain infections like encephalitis.

Random body or "brain zaps" can occur from medication changes such as with antidepressants (SSRIs) or from natural sleep transitions called hypnic jerks.

Random tingling in your body can come from many things, such as changes in your electrolytes, stress or anxiety, or even normal nerve responses. If it bothers you or gets worse, talking with a doctor is a good idea.

Problems only on one side of your body can come from a variety of issues like nerve or brain problems (for example, a stroke), heart-related pain, kidney issues, or even rare conditions affecting organs on that side.

A foggy head and feeling dizzy at the same time can be caused by problems with the body's balance and brain function. Conditions like postural tachycardia syndrome, concussion, and vestibular migraine can all lead to these symptoms.

A needle prickling sensation on your face might be caused by nerve irritation or damage (neuropathic pain) as is seen in trigeminal neuropathy. Treatment usually focuses on relieving the nerve pain through medications and other therapies determined by a healthcare provider.

A needle pricking feeling on the skin can happen when nerves are irritated due to conditions like notalgia paresthetica or other types of neuropathy, and these sensations are relatively common.

A needle pricking sensation on your skin can be caused by irritated or damaged nerves, often due to nerve injury, chemical influences, or neuropathic issues.

A stinging feeling all over the body can come from nerve irritation, called neuropathic pain, and it is often treated with medications or therapies that help calm the nerves.

A whole body tingling sensation might be caused by nerve problems like peripheral neuropathy, which can result from conditions such as diabetes or kidney issues, vitamin deficiencies, chemical exposure, and it is diagnosed with a careful exam and tests that check how well your nerves work.

An electric sensation throughout your body might be due to nerve irritation or damage, like in diabetic neuropathy or Lhermitte's sign, and it's managed through treatments that target the underlying nerve issues.
