Pins & Needles

My 14yr old daughter is suffering from pins & needles. Everytime she crosses her legs she starts getting pins & needles it tends to last for about 5-10mins.
I'm starting to get quite worried about this as it is happning more & more. Should i get her checked out and what is the reason for this??

It sounds like poor circulation. Does she get cold easily?
Does she get leg cramps?

This is ABSOULTELY related to poor circulation. As a nurse I would recommend you see your GP as soon as possible and ask if she may need to see a cardiologist.

Comments on this post
N0help4u agrees: yeah purple lips sounds pretty serious
Nestorian agrees: Yes go see a doctor. It may be something called Raynaud's disease. But there are other possiblities. Process of elimination right.

It could also be a congenital heart abnormality seeing that the lips have been turning purple as long as the OP can remember. There are many ways that children make up for lack of oxygen when young, squatting for example is one of the ways they compensate. Many times congenital heart defects are not found until the early teen years.
