Brief Answer:
Symptoms suggestive of vitaminB12 deficiency
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for the query.
The symptoms you have described typically suggestive of vitaminB12 deficiency. VitaminB12 is required for the proper functioning of nerves and lack of B12 can cause weakening of nerves and may result in this symptoms.
As of now you can continue vitaminB12 supplements. Go for a B12 assay and if the B12 is very much decreased you have to take vitaminB12 injections also.
Also get a thyroid function test done as low thyroid hormone can also cause similar symptoms.
Generally you will improve with B12 supplementation and if symptoms persist, consult a neurologist and get evaluated.
Wishing you good health.
Thanks
