Burning Mouth, Tingling in Hands and Feet

[TygerBlue]

For about 7 months I have had some symptoms I would like to compare to see if anyone else has experienced this.

I am rather stress and anxiety prone, alot of the problems come from my job and too many hours worked. I ended up in the emergency room last year with very strange symptoms that really scared me. After being reassured, they subsided almost immediately.

Forward to today: Starting in Feb this year I got this odd, off and on buzzing sensation in my chest..like a phone vibrating off and on. It moved down to my thigh. Then, a strange, almost tight/numb sensation in my cheeks..off and on. Then my feet started in with a sort of mild pins and needles buzzing/vibrating..my hands also burn and tingle. They tend to "fall asleep" very easily at night when I lay on them.

Another annoying this is my tounge is burning.

I was very scared again, and went to a doctor to see if a certain muscle relaxant had done this. She didnt seem to think so, and weirdly, everything suddenly stopped..no more problems, for one month. I thought I had managed to calm it down with some medical reassurance, but then...it slowly crept back in again. I am sitting here with a burning mouth, tingling hands and feet.

I bought a blood glucose monitor and tested my blood sugar in case this was diabetic neuropathy, Levels came back normal after several tests.

I can understand a tingling or burning sensation if you are suddenly jolted into flight or fight response..but for it to linger for months and months like this?

It is miserable living like this, I dread this is the rest of my life, with feet that buzz and tingle with every step. No amount of rest, talks with my therapist, relaxation or anything has helped. I am sad that I may have to go in for more extensive lab work, or an MRI.

Try not to be sad about more testing. I'm glad to hear you're taking care of yourself. It could very well be anxiety but when you have new or unusual symptoms I always recommend seeing your Dr. You've done that but she has'nt done any testing on you, not that you mentioned.
Can you say why you're taking a muscle relaxant? You may want to give your pharmacist a call and ask if these are possible side effects.
I would also recommend having your heart checked. I'm not trying to scare you. It's a good thing to do for anyone that's over 40.  If everything comes out fine, which it most likely will, then ask for tests on your vitamin and mineral levels. If you're low on anything it can cause some of the symptoms you're having.
