I mean both hands and both feet at the same time, together, basically upper and lower body

yes, a pinched nerve can cause a problem in both sides of the body at the same time depending on where the nerve is pinched. There are many possibilities as to what this could be. You have to see your medical doctor and get a full examination to find out the cause.
I also recommend trying a chiropractor as they do excellent work on this type of problem. I've enclosed a link where you can find a chiropractor in your area.

Sounds to me like a peripheral circulation problem not so much nerves. This can cause numbness and tingling too. And because it is more so in your limbs I would suspect that it is a circulation problem. Smoking, cold, and other things can cause it to be worse. I would get checked out be be sure.

Different nerves serve the hands and feet. Go see your doctor for a diagnosis and treatment. I hope that this is something minor, take care.

Yes, the same exact thing carpal tunnel is.
