Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
Symptom #4: Paresthesia
Paresthesia is an unpleasant and abnormal feeling were there can be a burning, numbing, prickling, tingling, or chilling sensation that occurs without an apparent physical cause. Paresthesia can be both chronic or transient. There are many causes of paresthesia such as a blood clot in the leg, positioning of the body, and hypoxia. Paresthesia is generally painless and most commonly affects the extremities.
The most familiar type of paresthesia is often described as “pins and needles” or when a limb “falls asleep.” Paresthesia may occur in a leg with a blood clot as there is impaired nerve and muscle function due to inadequate blood supply.
