Tingling in fingers MULTIPLE times after diving in very different conditions. Thoughts?

Go see your doc and ask what he thinks. If he tries to electrocute you, get a second opinion .

Is that a power cable you are holding in your profile picture, the one with the tight black suit?

I won't reveal all the exciting detail of my diving...
It's my pleasure, my alone

I saw a similar comment from charles3: Sore Fingertips

I believe that charles3 might be correct about the dehydration. I will try drinking a lot of freshwater before my next dive.

I was completely baffled by this response to the thread, but I was able to track things down when I saw that you had responded to a 14-year old thread that was really a 17-year old thread. I will respond to this post as if it were a new thread.

What would make you believe that sore fingertips (the topic of the other thread) or tingling in the fingers (The topic of this thread) is related to dehydration? Neither one is a common symptom for dehydration.

I will caution you about drinking a lot of water before you dive. You definitely do not want to be dehydrated when you dive, but you do not want to be overhydrated, either. Neither is good for you. If you have had a reasonably normal amount of fluid prior to a dive, you should be fine.

Thank you Johnoly. You have ruled out dehydration. My new hypothesis is that that the tingling or soreness in extremities comes from the tightness of the exposure suit. Today I practiced scuba skills in somebody’s swimming pool for an hour and I did not have the tingling or the soreness in the finger tips or the toes. I was not wearing my wetsuit in the swimming pool.
