A rare disorder that causes tingling in the hands and feet could have a coronavirus link.
While it does happen, Fox said it’s very rare for a COVID-19 patients to develop this disorder.
While the vast majority of his patients exhibited common COVID-19 and GBS symptoms concurrently, he said one or two had a tingling in their hands and feet with no other symptoms. Other patients experienced more nuanced symptoms like diminished reflexes, he said. Tingling in the hands and feet can be associated with another more acute condition: anxiety. Fox said many people who get anxious and have panic attacks will report having a tingling sensation in their hands, feet or around their mouth.
However, both Geraci and Fox say it’s difficult to pinpoint the cause of tingling as it is a common symptom of multiple conditions.
