Numbness and tingling in the hands and feet can be alarming. These sensations may indicate temporary nerve compression or dysfunction, which often resolves once the underlying cause is removed.
However, they can also be signs of more serious health conditions.
Common Symptoms
Key symptoms associated with these issues include:
- Pain accompanied by tingling
- Loss of sensation in the affected area
- Unusual skin temperature (either cold or hot)
Potential Causes
Vitamin Deficiency
A lack of essential vitamins, such as B1, B2, B6, B12, and E, can contribute to these symptoms. On the other hand, excessive intake of vitamins D and B6 may lead to similar issues.
