Sharp pin prick sensation on soles

2023-10-24 09:56:03
Hi.. I have a peculiar condition. I get occasional, sharp pin prick like pain on the soles of my feet. Each episode lasts for no more than 5 seconds at max- and happens only at night when I am asleep. I  have gotten up many times to check for any insect bites.. but never found any. What could be the cause? Notably, I underwent angioplasty in April 2022, but the condition I have mentioned is much older. Also to add that I have been on Metformin 500 and Olmertime / Losartan 20 for around 15 years now. Thanks!!
