Tingling sensation all over my body?

Weird tingling sensation throughout body, inside head feels like pressure.?

• Hi, I'm 14 and earlier before I've been getting weird sensation through my arms, legs, body, everywhere. Also my head has been feeling like there's pressure in there, you know that feeling? My hands are shaking as well. Is there anything wrong with me or is this normal?

• Answer:

  First of all, I am a Registered Nurse, not a doctor. I'm not allowed or qualified to tell you what is wrong with you. A doctor, nurse practitioner, or physicians assistant has to do that. My concern first is: Have you told your parent or guardian? You need to see your dr. for sure. On a guess, it could be many things. One being a panic or anxiety attack. If you have one, you probably breathe faster than normal (you may not realize it), and this causes tingling, light headed, feels like you can't get enough breath (but you're getting too much) :) Average breaths are 12-20 per minute. It's not accurate to measure yourself or if you know you're being watched. When you do, you may not breathe as you usually do. If you're 14, you're probably stressed with peers and school? Fitting in, and keeping up are stressful. You will do fine though. We ALL feel this way sometimes. First, get a paper bag and breathe into it for about a minute when you have these feelings. If this makes it go away, it means that rebreathing carbon dioxide helps out. It keeps you from getting too much oxygen. This may mean it is anxiety/panic attack.... It could also be that you're low on iron (if you're a girl and have heavy periods, especially). Both of these, your dr. can find and fix easily. Please, please, please let an adult know. A doctor needs to take a look at you. It will not be bad. If it's panic, your worrying is making all this worse too. If your iron is low, you'll need an iron pill or vitamin. Please let me know how it goes. You really have my concern. Best wishes, and feel better soon:)
