Suggest Treatment For Tingling Sensation In The Arms
Hello, I have been having tingling in my right hand and arm (only right) for a few weeks now. It is not constant but it is frequent. I have been dizzy, light headed and experiencing headaches but I think that is because I am weening off of Effexor. However I just noticed a bald patch on the back of my head. That with the arm tingling has me concerned. Can you think of anything that would combine these symptoms? Your help is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Hi,
Tingling can be due to vitamin B12 deficiency. Taking B complex and B12 supplements will be helpful. Radiculopathy due to cervical spondylosis or carpal tunnel syndrome at wrist should be ruled out by undergoing physical examination by orthopedician.
Hope I have answered your queries. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr. Nishad BN
