What are symptoms of paresthesia?

Has your foot ever “fallen asleep?” That tingling, pins, and needles feeling you get when you sit in the same position for too long could be paresthesia. If you’re unfamiliar, this condition refers to a tingling or prickling sensation in the body that can be caused by varying conditions.

Sometimes paresthesia is unavoidable, especially if it’s caused by an underlying condition such as peripheral neuropathy. You can, however, minimize your risk by: reducing repetitive motion or taking frequent breaks, maintaining good posture, being mindful of your position when you’re lifting something heavy, maintaining a healthy diet and exercising regularly.
