I Experienced A Sudden Loss Of Feeling In My Feet

default
Posted on Thu, 4 Oct 2018
Question: I experienced a sudden loss of feeling in my feet while moving about in the house. It felt as though my feet had become disconnected from my body. I felt light headed, but no dizziness. It subsided, then resumed several times over the course of 20 minutes. The symptoms are currently absent. Does this sound like some minor issue, or a potentially serious problem?

Brief Answer:
it is not a minor thing

Detailed Answer:
Welcome to ' Ask a doctor ' service .
Dear XXXXXXX ,
As you have not mentioned any medical history , i assume that your blood pressure and blood sugar level are within normal limits .
If not so , then please take care of these .
You should also get checked for vit d , vit b 12 level and calcium level .
As such symptoms may be due to these deficiencies especially vit b 12 .
Last probability is XXXXXXX CVA , also called TIA , transient ischemic attack .
So in nutshell , i mean to say that this is not a minor thing to be ignored .
I hope I have solved your query .
Let me know if I can assist you further in this query .
With Regards , Dr Varinder Joshi .
