I was awakened suddenly a few nights ago by an extreme and sudden pins and needles sensation all over my body. It lasted about 30 seconds. I have felt something similar before when I leaned on a needle and imbedded it in the bone in my forearm -kind of a body alarm sort of feeling? I do have a bug bite on my shoulder and a few strange watery blisters on my arm. Could it be some sort of allergic reaction to a bug bite?
Hi, It can be due to allergic reaction and other causes like neurological causes has to be ruled out. As a first line of management you can take antihistamines like Pheneramine for symptomatic relief. Also take analgesics like Tramdol for pain relief. If symptoms persist, better to consult a neurologist and get evaluated. Wishing you good health. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Regards, Dr. Shinas Hussai
