Subject: pins & needles sensation in face & hands post HIM race Anyone know what this is from or why I got it? I headed into the med tent just as a precaution. The sensation went away after about 10 minutes of laying down. They gave me some oxygen, took my vitals which were fine. Body temperature was a few degrees high, 99.0. I then started to shiver which varied in intensity, but never anything serious. Chills went away after I got up and started walking around, covered in tinfoil sheet. The medical staff said that I might have Hypoxia? The numbness sensation happened once before at the NYC marathon a few years ago. Although that time it came on pretty hard. It was much more intense and I felt throughout my whole body, and I had difficulty moving my mouth to speak. It was scary but I recovered and have been ok ever since. Anyone ever experience this? Know why it happens? How to avoid it?! Edited by slowman79 2012-08-23 1:35 PM
