Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
The symptoms you are having are likely to be due to an electrolyte imbalance, dehydration or vitamin B 12 deficiency.
A sluggish thyroid gland is further aggravating these symptoms. You need to keep yourself well hydrated and drink an electrolyte XXXXXXX fluid like oralyte frequently.
Taking methylcobalamin supplements for at least two weeks will also be helpful.
In case the symptoms are persistent then you need to consult a physician for proper evaluation.
Hope this answers your query. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Please accept my answer in case you do not have further queries.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.

Hello.
Thanks for writing again.
Taking high quality minerals and vitamins will be helpful but specific high dose methylcobalamin supplements are needed to take care of nerve related symptoms.
Taking plenty of citrus fruits will also be helpful.
