What Causes Numbness And Tingling Sensation In Body Extremities,lips And Lower Face?

Hi I am a 52 year old female. For the past week or so I have been experiencing numbness and tingling in my extremities as well as my lips and lower face. I also have not been able to think straight and had severe irritability. I eat well and workout but I smoke. What could be going on and should I see a neurologist?

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern.

Thanks for your query . The symptoms you mention in query can range from simple numbness due to lack of body movement to more serious problem like decrease or increase in pressure around nerves .

There are multiple reasons associated with numbness and tingling sensation (parasthesia) like atherosclerosis (deposition of fat in blood vessels) , multiple sclerosis , diabetes and vitamin deficient.


I would suggest you to consult doctor/ GP for perfect diagnosis and to find out exact cause . doctor may perform physical examination and take history in special reference to nervous system. Doctor may order complete blood tests , CT scan Or MRI of brain and treat it accordingly.

For now give gentle massage to your body with olive oil or almond oil and take half spoon of cinnamon powder in glass of water to improve blood flow.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
