Anyone else have hands tingling after a deep breath?

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 hand tingling (only) when I take a deep breath. I have noticed that it happens more on hot days and when I am dehydrated. I will try increasing potassium and magnesium to see if that helps.

I have the same tingly feeling when I deep breathe but not if I deep breathe consciously.  How odd!  I wish I knew what it was!!!  Sounds like the Drs have no idea!  Time we investigated till we find the answer together because it looks like it gets worse for some people...

The only one I wonder about is nutrition.  I am not sure my nutrition and especially fruits and vegies are sufficient.  Might try a supplement and see if it improves anything.

Since May of this year I've been feeling explosive electrical shocks in both of my feet after sighing or yawning.  My feet, especially around the ankles, ache all day and hurt when I apply pressure.  I have a few chronic medical conditions, so it's been difficult to pinpoint what's causing it. I am a diabetic, so my first visit will be with my endo.  I started taking a new medication in March, so we tried decreasing the dosage. It worked somewhat.  My physician suggested I see a neuro.  Three days ago I experienced a new symptom above my right ankle - a tightening/numbing sensation that occurs more frequently and lasts longer than the shockwaves in my feet.  I did some research of my own and found that I may have "Peripheral Neuropathy," "Pernicious Anemia," "Paresthesia","Impaired Immune System," or "Medicinal Toxicity." Great!  That's just what I need - another chronic illness to add to my already lengthy list!

Look up!  God is smiling down on you!

I have the same thing happening to my hands as well, also i noticed that when i am lienig down in bed or the couch my hands fall asleep almost emediatly. the numbness and tingling is scarying me and my Dr is no help at all. Went to the Hospital due to those symptoms, they just gave me NAPROXEN 500mg. told me it is due to a muscle spazm in my back. But now my stomach is bleeding from the stupid pills. Is it me or does anyone else think their Doctor is useless?
