Question

I am 30 year old female, and a moderate smoker (about 6 a day) I have had a headache for 9 days. I went to the doctor and he said my blood pressure etc was normal. I explained I have had a stressful 2 weeks, and he said it is tension. 5 days ago after seeing the doctor I developed pins and needles in the tips of my fingers and tips of my toes, I also don't feel 100% there in my head, tired and a not as sharp as I usually feel. Should I return to my GP?

I have been taking tablets for the headache, which has now subsided in the last day or so. I visited my GP who took my blood pressure and looked in my eyes and ears and said it seemed normal. He also took my temperature which he said is normal

Accepted Answer

Hi,

I am sure if you cut down and quit smoking your symptoms would go away and also you would be saved the multiple visits to the doctor and future multiple problems taht smoking could lead to.

You should think about this, strongly resolve and quit.

The pins and needles are signs of neuropathy or even due to toxicity of the chemical substacnces present in cigarettes.

Let me know if you need any other information.
