Tingling Sensation In Your Body: Why Does It Happen
The tingling sensation, often felt as “pins and needles” in your hands or legs, is known as paresthesia. This occurs when sustained pressure on a nerve interrupts blood flow, usually after staying in the same position for too long.
Paresthesia is generally harmless and goes away quickly once blood circulation resumes. Stretching or massaging the affected area can help speed up relief. However, if it becomes frequent or chronic, it could indicate underlying issues like nerve damage, stroke, or carpal tunnel syndrome.
