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 also have the pins and needle sensations in my hands and sometimes my feet when i take a deep breath or just sigh. I was just sitting here playing solitaire when i decided to finally look it up and see if anyone else had this problem. It feels like im being shocked. I'll just be sitting here calmly, breathing normal and then i take an extra breathe for some reason that is deeper and here comes the wave of pain but only for a second but that short second really hurts. I couldn't imagine if that pain were constant! I don't have MS so i cant imagine the pain you all must go through. I also have twitches in my body, like if im just sitting here on the couch with my feet up watching tv my leg will suddenly jerk for no reason and some times it can be my arm, either arm or leg and my family will see it happen and ask if im ok. The jerking movements don't hurt. But i thought it was pretty weird that when you said you cant make the tingling happen on purpose by taking a deep breath so i tried it and your right it has to happen by it self! Lol. If you ever hear anything else about our symptom please post it on here. I will do likewise for you. Thanks for listening. Jennifer

I have the exact problem...when I take a deep breath or when I sigh it hurts in my hands for maybe just one second, sometimes it's like a burning sensation. I do not have any health problem and I think it could be due to a rush of excess oxygen in the blood and not enough carbon dioxide. This also is very common in people who hyperventilate and even in people who have panic attacks. If you have  any info on that please let me know ***@****
This problem started about a year ago...thanks

I have the same thing happen yo me! Its the weirdest feeling and it just started happening in the past year or so. I cant imagine that this is a normal occurrence. I think Im gonna go see a specialist and see what they say. If anyone gets a concrete answer from a doctor please post. I will be back here with my results :) I hope all goes well.

I have the tingling in my hands and feet, legs too, when I take a deep breath.  It happens everytime I take a deep breath, whether voluntary or involuntary.  The involuntary breaths (gasps for air) kind of scare me.  Anyway, I don't have MS and my sympathy goes to those who do.  I do, however, have many of the symptoms of MS.  I have been diagnosed with Fibromyalgia and I also have panic and anxiety attacks.  Most of my "MS Like" symptoms have bothered me for most of my life, I'm 50.  I've had the MRI, the heart tests, and all the blood tests many times.  I smoke and I know that is not good at all.  I also don't get enough of regular exercise.  I feel great after I do something that gets me breathing heavy.  It is like a "rush" of oxygen to the brain, and I can actually think better.  My doctor told me to take deep breaths regularly.  It does help me, and the tingling just makes me think that my feet and hands are getting what they need.  I do have the headaches sometimes when I take a deep breath, but not all of the time, usually just around that horrible time of the month.  I think I have PMDD, but I'm not going to see a Dr. for it.  I've pretty much learned to "watch" myself during this time.  This month there were two periods, so the craziness snuck up on me.

I just got on-line to look up the tingling in my hands when I take a deep breath. I was surprised when it came up on am MS page. I have MS but I have never gotten on-line concerning it. Amazing that it would bring me straight to this site! I have had MS for several years but only just recently began the Copaxone injections. Being as the first place I was directed was to this site I imagine it must be something having to do with this less than considerate desease we share in common. I noticed that your post was from awhile ago and hope that you are doing well.-Jaegergirl
