Anyone else have hands tingling after a deep breath?

[Sandpuff]

I have a new symptom that I just noticed in the past few weeks.  When I exhale after sighing or taking a deep breath both my hands tingle.  It doesn't happen if I consciously take a deep breath, I can't make it happen.  Does this happen to anyone else?  The tingling only happens for a second, it kind of comes on like a wave or a shock and then goes away.  I have tingling at other times just out of the blue, but this happens every time I exhale deeply.  

I also had a hard time yesterday with my legs.  I had to stand for awhile and my legs started feeling really heavy and achy and I finally had to sit down.  For the rest of the day my right leg was achy.  I'm very discouraged right now because I had 2 days of feeling great last week and thought maybe I was going to be fine.  I thought I could finally get on with life.  I'm tired of feeling sick as I'm sure a lot of you  are.  I just wondered if anyone else experienced the tingling when they exhale.  It may be nothing but I guess I'm paying more attention to the little things.

I thought I posted this before, but I don't think it actually posted because I was new. I hope everyone in this thread sees this. This may not pertain to everyone, but my story is very similar to many of you, and I thought I was crazy! Until a newer grad physician I saw had the same thing. I have, and so did he. Everyone needs to look up the following diagnosis and see if any of the description could possibly pertain to you. If not now, you may need to look into it. The diagnosis is: Thoracic Outlet Syndrome. I hope this helps and keep me posted!

I noticed I was able to feel my heartbeat very clearly through my lungs when I took a deep breath in, and I also noticed that the tingling stayed in my hands while I held in the deep breath. My theory is that the lungs are pushing against the heart, possibly compressing it and temporarily reducing circulation which you'd feel most easily in the extremities (I.e., hands and feet). Hey, I wasn't even paying attention to my feet when I noticed the tingling hands, and I just noticed my feet were tingling to when doing this. Cool.

Hi, glad you're getting a result!   I gave up with pharmacutical based treatment years ago, particularly when arguing with a bunch of doctors about being pregnant after saying that although my ex was lazy I didn't think his sperm was taking 2 years to bake!   I found bio-resonance & it's off shoots to be wonderful.  Doctors test said nothing, the bio-resonance frequencies said, yup, bit of MS, Lupus & reallly put me on a path to keep a watch on things and fix them with the right frequencies & herbs.   But just recently had this sighing\yawning tingling lower leg thing.  Do you know which metals cause your issue or was it general?     Thanks for posting.  Susen in Kent UK

There is no such thing as a 'bit of MS'. Snake oil is not going to diagnose it, neither will 'frequencies' treat it.

This happens to me when I inhale. I do not have MS, but doctors have considered it a possibility five times in the last 14 years.

To those of you NOT diagnosed with MS, look up Thoracic Outlet Syndrome. I think you will get many of your questions answered here. This is for the people that experience the tingling king/numbness in your hands upon exhaling. I hope this helps!

This is 100% TRUE! I am diagnosed with TOS. PT first if doesn't help surgery.

I'm relieved to have found this thread.  I thought I was nuts.  It started happening (the electric tingling) about 2 weeks ago. I'm not stressed, not diabetic and don't have MS.  I am morbidly obese, but have started going to the gym every day and eating a no carb diet.  Only fruits, veggies and lean meats.  I've lost 60 pounds.  Maybe I hurt my back at the gym?

I have no answers, but it's weird there are so many of us.  -- Heather
