Sounds like either a problem with electrolytes or a problem with BP. Do you know how you blood test results are? Are you able to take your BP when it happens? Definitely say something to your doctor.

I get the tingling in my hands and feet right after hemo.  They told me it was an electrolyte imbalance.  If it doesn't get better I would talk to your doctor about neuropathy. Are you diabetic?
