Coughing with numbness in both hands, as if experiencing electric shocks.

Generally, the sensation of numbness and tingling in both hands like an electric shock during coughing may be related to factors such as insufficient cerebral blood supply, allergic cough, bronchitis, acute pharyngitis, or mycoplasma pneumonia. Patients are advised to receive symptomatic treatment under medical guidance. Specific analyses are as follows:

1. Insufficient Cerebral Blood Supply

If a patient experiences frequent coughing, it may lead to excessive physical fatigue, which in severe cases could result in insufficient blood supply to the brain, causing the aforementioned symptoms. It is recommended that patients follow medical advice and use medications such as Yangxue Qingnao Granules or Compound Xueshuantong Tablets for treatment.

2. Allergic Cough

Allergic cough may result from exposure to allergens such as pollen or dust mites, or triggered by weather changes and colds, leading to a sensation of electric shock-like numbness in the hands during coughing. Under medical supervision, patients can take medications such as Chlorpheniramine Maleate Tablets or Loratadine Tablets.

3. Bronchitis

Bronchitis is mainly caused by infections or inhalation of allergens, resulting in acute non-specific inflammation of the bronchial mucosa and surrounding tissues. Symptoms may include cough, sputum production, and wheezing, which might manifest as hand numbness during coughing. Patients are advised to take medications such as Ambroxol Hydrochloride Oral Solution or Bromhexine Hydrochloride Tablets under medical guidance.

4. Acute Pharyngitis

Acute pharyngitis can cause systemic weakness, numbness in hands and feet, dizziness, fever, and coughing. These symptoms are likely due to inflammatory infection. Patients may take medications such as Amoxicillin Capsules or Cefuroxime Axetil Tablets under medical supervision.

5. Mycoplasma Pneumonia

Mycoplasma pneumonia is a type of pneumonia caused by Mycoplasma pneumoniae infection. Mycoplasma organisms lie between bacteria and viruses and lack a cell wall. Symptoms typically appear 1–3 weeks after exposure to the pathogen and gradually worsen over 2–3 days. Patients with this condition may also experience the above-mentioned symptoms. Treatment may include medications such as Doxycycline Hydrochloride Tablets or Minocycline Hydrochloride Tablets, used under medical guidance.

In addition, these symptoms may also be associated with tuberculosis or cerebral infarction. If patients experience discomfort, they are advised to seek timely medical evaluation at a hospital to avoid delays in diagnosis and treatment.
