Hi,
Thank you for posting your query.

Tingling in hands is more often due to vitamin D deficiency.
Also, occasionally, it can be due to median nerve gets compressed at the level of wrist.

I hope it helps. Please get back if you have any further queries.
Best wishes,
Dr Sudhir Kumar MD DM (Neurology) XXXXXXX Consultant Neurologist
