==Pathophysiology==
== [[Paraesthesia overview|Overview]] ==
Chronic paresthesia indicates a problem with the functioning of [[neuron]]s. This malfunction, which is especially common in older individuals, is often the result of poor [[Circulation (physiology)|circulation]] in the limbs (such as in peripheral vascular disease), which may be caused by [[atherosclerosis]] — the build up of [[plaque]] on [[artery]] walls. Without a proper supply of [[blood]] and [[nutrients]], nerve cells can no longer adequately send signals to the [[brain]]. Because of this, paresthesia can also be a symptom of [[vitamin]] deficiency and [[malnutrition]], as well as [[metabolism|metabolic]] disorders like [[Diabetes mellitus|diabetes]], [[hypothyroidism]], and [[hypoparathyroidism]].


Irritation to the nerve can also come frhe surroom [[inflammation]] to tunding tissue. Joint conditions such as [[rheumatoid arthritis]] and [[carpal tunnel syndrome]] are common sources of paresthesia.
== [[Paraesthesia historical perspective|Historical Perspective]]==


Another cause of paresthesia, however, may be direct damage to the nerves themselves, or [[neuropathy]], which can stem from [[injury]] or [[infection]] such as [[Lyme disease]], or which may be indicative of a current [[neurological disorder]]. Chronic paresthesia can sometimes be symptomatic of serious conditions, such as a [[transient ischemic attack]], a [[brain tumor]], [[motor neurone disease]], or [[autoimmune disorder]]s like [[multiple sclerosis]] or [[lupus erythematosus]]. A diagnostic evaluation by a [[medical doctor|doctor]] is necessary to rule these out.

Paresthesiae of the [[mouth]], hands, and feet are common, transient symptoms of the related conditions of [[hyperventilation syndrome]] and [[panic attack]]s.
