Why Do I Feel Tingling All over My Body and What Should I Do about It?

When you feel tingling across your body, it might be because your nerves are sending messages that make your skin feel like it’s buzzing or being lightly pricked. This happens when nerve signals become extra active or sometimes when they don't work as they usually do. One possibility is sensory neuropathy, where nerves are affected and send abnormal signals. But other times, tingling can result from normal body reactions to stress, changes in temperature, or even moments of relaxation. Some research shows that these sensations, sometimes seen in response to gentle stimuli, are part of how our brain and body experience touch and other feelings. If the tingling is occasional and not too bothersome, it might not be a big concern. However, if you notice that the sensation becomes more frequent, lasts longer, or comes with other symptoms like pain or weakness, you should share this with a healthcare provider. They can look into your symptoms, check your nerve health, and help decide if further tests or treatment are needed.
