Getting Tingling Sensation In Jaw, Neck, Shoulder And Feeling Fatigued. What To Do?

Posted on Sat, 27 Oct 2012

Question: I am a 65 year old female. I have a tingly feeling in my left jaw, down neck to shoulder down left arm. Almost feels like I think air bubbles would feel. If I raise my right leg straight up while lying on my back it comes immediately. Comes more often now at any time. I have had pain in my right shoulder for some time but never my left. I am extremely fatigued and can lay down and not get up for hours, not like me in the past. Without warning I can sweat profusely and just have to lay down until I am not sick anymore.

Hi
Thanks for the reply

The symptoms you are having can be due to variety of conditions but the most probable in your case is the deficiency of megaloblastic anemia, which can be found on complete blood picture, Vitamin B12 supplements are easily available on the counter. It is recommended to use for almost one month.
