What Causes Tingling Sensation In Feet Radiating Towards Hands And Tongue?

I am 27 years old woman. I noticed tingling in my feet few days ago. I thought it will pass but now tingling has started in hands and tongue. I am also having bloated stomach and had digestive issues for a week before I noticed the tingling. I have no history of any neuro disease. Is it something serious I should be concerned about?

Hello,

You are experiencing bloating and you also had digestive issues for a week. You are having tingling sensation in the tongue and hands. Tingling is also radiating to your feet. Your symptoms may be indicative of lower levels of vitamin B12. hypoglycemia, hypocalcemia, damage to the nerves related to the mouth or face.

Tingling sensation radiating to the feet is indicative of developing peripheral neuropathy. If diabetic, control your blood sugar levels at all cost. Take vitamin B6, B12 supplements. You can also take food rich in vitamin B6 and B12 on a regular basis. Avoid food and drinks that trigger your allergy. Avoid taking hot, spicy and oily food. Take home made balanced fresh nutritious food.

You can take antacids or PPIs to prevent acid reflux and hence gastritis and bloating. Always take food in time and stay adequately hydrated. You are suggested to get clinically examined by a GP, get blood work outs, imaging tests and nerve conduction velocity tests done so that pathology causing you symptoms is detected and treatment started at the earliest.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Nupur K., General & Family Physician
