Hi,I am Dr. Prabhakar Koregol (Cardiologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Can Increased BP Cause Numbness In Arms And Legs With Dizziness?
I have tingling and some numbness in my arms (elbows to hands) and my legs (knees down). I also have been a little light headed with a bit of a headache. I checked my blood sugar and it's 100. My blood press ure on the machine at WalMart was 152 over 75. I know that is high. Could that be the cause? I don't have insurance so I can't go to a doctor right now.
Numbness is rarely because of hypertension. Check your Vitamin B12, as its deficiency can cause tingling and numbness. Headache can be because of raised BP. Take different readings of BP at different time and note them. If they all are high you need medicine.
