What Causes Tingling In Feet Along With Numbness In Hands And Feet?

Hello, I ve had tingling and sharp pains in my feet that started over a year ago and have gotten worse with time. They started in my right foot and now i occasionally get them in my left foot. My hands and feet also fall asleep frequently, occasionally just when they are extended or with light pressure, or no pressure on them at all. I ve seen a neurologist and there is no issue with my nerves. I have also had chronic stomach issues for which I ll be making a GI appointment soon. Do I need to be concerned about cardiovascular issues with the numbness and tingling? Thank you, Natalia

Hello Natalia.

Your neurologist should have checked on your vitamin B12 levels, but if at all he has not then please do get this checked . A cardiovascular evaluation will certainly and so please do get yourself evaluated so that we can rule this out as a cause.

Also a blood coagulation profile and a check on your lipid profile should also be beneficial.

Best wishes.
