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 went to u of m were they told me it isnt neurological. So my physician said It might be a good ideal to be admitted to the hospital for a few days so they can run some test. They did a bunch of test that i have already had done before, but they did do some extensive blood work and found i have a  high white blood cell count so they want to run more tests in that area. So he has involved a oncoligist to help in the findings, I'll keep in touch and let you know.

OK so I asked the neurologist about these tinglng hands when exhaling and it didnt sound like she was too sure what it was. She said sometimes when a nerve on the spine is being pressed that it can cause tinglng down the arms. Whether that is what it is I do not know? My MRI was normal so there is nothing to suggest MS.

Yes I have had this happen to me for years. Its like an electric shock/prickly feeling down my arms into my hands for a second or so after I take a deep breath. I am going to a neurologist in a couple of days and getting an MRI tomorrow to test for MS. Although this is not the reason I am being tested for MS I am definitely going to ask about this tingling on deep breaths so I will update you and let you know what she said!

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

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.
