Tingling hands during paws
I had some weird tingling feelings in the past.
I checked Web md. Numerous possible causes.
They do call out alcoholism specifically. A very common cause is vitamin deficiency. But Web md states it could a severe case of alcohol induced neropathy. I suggest you go to the dr to bexpand safe.
Alcoholism. Alcoholics are more likely to have a thiamine or other important vitamin deficiencies because of poor dietary habits, a common cause of peripheral neuropathy. It's also possible that alcoholism itself can cause nerve damage, a condition that some researchers call alcoholic neuropathy.

I have had that feeling after drinking. Anxiety can also cause it. My dad could not even walk with alcoholic neuropathy and after he quit drinking things slowly went to normal. I would make an appt with a Dr. and make sure you are eating healthy/taking a multivitamin.

Hi Frana,
Not sure I have ever experienced PAWS symptoms per se but I did have all sorts of weird sensations (tingling, pins & needles, seemingly randomly appearing aches and pains, elevated sensitivity to virtually all sensory stimuli etc) when I was actively drinking, in the first ~two weeks after quitting, but also occasionally before drinking ever became a problem. In my case, some of it was apparently caused by nutritional imbalances and acute withdrawal, but even more than that, anxiety and reactions to very high level of stress. When I addressed these things, it all disappeared. I second the others on seeing a doctor and getting a physical first; in case they find nothing wrong, maybe look at possible mental health concerns like what I said about anxiety.

Have you had your blood pressure checked? Sometimes numbness or tingling can be nerve related (as in the nerves, not nervousness). Does it come and go?
