Tingling And Numbness In The Hands, Feet And Torso. Feeling Tired. Is This Due To High Potassium Levels Or Viral Infection?
my boyfriend has been experiencing tingling/ numbness in his hands, feet and torso for about two weeks, as well as fatigue/ tiredness. He saw a medi-centre doctor who sent him for blood tests, initially his potassium levels were higher than normal (there aren t any dietary reasons for this) but everything else seems to be fine. The medi-centre doctor guesses that he might have a virus... but gives no other explanation or treatment options. Please help
hi i had gone through your query and understand your concerns. i would come up with the possibility of PARESTHESIA is the cause for his condition.
-there are several underlying causes to produce this condition
possible causes;
-lack of movement ( sitting or standing in one position for a long time ) -poor blood supply due to venous incompetence -obesity -diabetes -seafood toxins -hypothyroidism are some possible causes.
I hope this is helpful for you, thank you
