The lisinpril was added to the mix maybe 2-3 yrs ago..anyways, my symptons are related to me feet with a tingling and sort of numbing feeling and has been going on for 2 yrs or so.. Could this from the vitamin defincency of like Potassium, thiamin, B12 due to the medications? could there be any link between these?

Dear Sir/Madam
I have gone through your query and read your symptoms.
In my opinion, you are correct it could result from deficency of vit B12 or B6 and even calcium and Vit D. the ideal way is to get there levels done and treat what is required, but for the time being you can start Tab Methylcobalamine 1500mcg SR tab daily once, Tal Calcium 500 with Vit D3 twice daily, take for 2 week and if you find no relief prepare yourself for tests
I hope that answers your query. If your want any more clarification, contact me back.
