What Causes Dizziness And Numbness In The Shin?

Today I felt dizzy for a few minutes. My right shin felt numb and it was mildly difficult to lift my foot to walk. No longer dizzy and numbness has subsided somewhat tho not completely. Now feel tingling down the back of my left arm. (I thought dizziness had to do with being dehydrated while singing in choral performance).

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

The 2 symptoms have no obvious relationship. If you are singing in a choral group and standing for long periods of time then, the numbness in the shin could be due to nerve compression at the level of the crural sheath at the hip which could be affecting certain nerves that eventually serve the shin area. Recommend taking breaks to sit while singing.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
