tingly, numb hands & arms

[JenniferLS]

Hi, Ive been smoking an ecig for over a month now and have had tingly/numb, static feeling in my hands and arms. it is a constant feeling in my hands and starting to worry me. i also take bipolar medications and am wondering if they are interacting with my ecig and making me feel this way... anyone have a similar experience? any thoughts, suggestions? Im going to call my doc today but would like to hear from others with the same symptoms...thanks!

1) What e-cigarette are you using?

2) What flavor do you frequent?

3) How often do you puff on the device?

First let me say that I'm not a doctor so it's probably best to consult with one! I did find a few articles on tingly, numb hands and arms. It seems like these symptoms can develop for several reasons. Here are a few links that may be helpful!

Also not a Dr. but you may find something in this thread. Seems for some it took awhile to become accustomed to vaping. Maybe a good idea to visit your Dr. as these symptoms are physical.

Good Luck.

Don't rule out coincidence. Go to your GP or a neurologist. Take care of yourself. Don't trust us amateurs and definitely not health related forums for a diagnosis. Places like WebMD and Livestrong will have you thinking you have cancer-leprosy, spider eggs in your brain, and that the night clowns will be scratching at your windows at 3 am.

Well, not that bad, but when I had shingles on my scalp there was all kinds of blindness/deafness scare from places like that. Cleared up in a week with horse pill sized anti-virals.

get a cardio stress test and echo of your heart to make sure you're not at risk for heart attack.. that should really ease your mind first!

Go see a doctor.

Yep I've researched many health related issues and if I were to start anywhere it would be
PubMed Health Home
Still a wise idea to visit your Dr.

The only time I have ever felt any tinglyness in my hands using an e cig, is when it was plugged into the usb on my computer. I got the feeling that it was something electrical due to the power from my pc. I dont get it when I use stand alone batteries.
