My arm feels weird and tingly all of a sudden... should I be worried?
17/f
I volunteer at a medical center as a volunteer reader and so for medical clearance I had to get a PPD test. I just got it 20 minutes ago and when I left the medical center my arm got kind of numb and tingly and my hand feels the same way. There is no bump or redness where I got the injection. I was just wondering if something was wrong? I've never had this done recently and I was just really worried since my arm feels weird. Will this pass? Or do I have the tuberculosis? I have to go back in 2 days to get a reading. I'm just a little scared because my hand feels so weird. :-/

I agree with DangerNerd; you need to see a doctor now.
While it is rare you may be having an allergic reaction to the bacteria used for the testing. If so you need to see doctor. If you have any other symptoms such as shortness of breath, or anything else that is not normal call 911 immediately.

Hi there,
You need to call the hospital and talk to them about this. You must do this now.
You can also dial 911.
This could be very serious, and there are no doctors here.
Please, immediately call for help.
