What Could Be The Cause Of Numbness And Tingling Sensation?
Hello, I'm a 23 years old male. My symptoms are lightheadedness, numbness in feet and arms, tingling sensation all over the body, and slow heart rate ( 50 - 70 beats/min). I got these symptoms for over 5 days. I have asthma and I take 1 5mg Aerius and 1 10mg Singulair pills every day. Also these past few days were really hot (35* Celsius) . I also drank 3 L of water every day. What can the underlying problem be?

Hi,
Thanks for asking.
Based on your query, my opinion is as follows.
1. Neurological symptoms with dizziness suggests vit B12 deficiency associated anemia.
2. Lightheadedness and dizziness are due to anemia. Get hemoglobin level and vit B12 assay checked.
3. Dehydration could have worsened dizziness. Start vit B12 supplements. You will notice change within two weeks.
Hope it helps.
Any further queries, happy to help again.
