Stickningar i händer och fötter är en vanlig

Tingling in the hands and feet is a common experience that can have several different causes, ranging from temporary and harmless to more serious medical conditions. This article reviews the most common symptoms, causes, and treatment options for tingling in the hands and feet.

What Are Tingling Sensations in Hands and Feet?

Tingling sensations in hands and feet refer to a feeling of prickling and numbness. This can be due to nerve compression, vitamin deficiency, or circulation problems. Treatment focuses on addressing the underlying cause through lifestyle changes, medication, or physical therapy.

These tinglings, also called paresthesias, occur when the nerves that convey sensation between the body and brain are disrupted. It can affect different parts of the body but is most common in the extremities. Many experience it as a "pins-and-needles" sensation or a feeling that the hand or foot has "fallen asleep."
