Suggest Treatment For Leg Tremors And Pins And Needles

Hi, when I left work tonight I felt shakey with pins and needles in my legs. I pulled over thinking maybe I was low on sugar and brought some chocolate and coke that perked me up and I managed to drive home. Around a hour later I felt weak again and my legs feel distached with pins and needles I m struggle to stand on one leg and have a strange sensation in my legs I am still shaking a little and wobbly to stand. What do you think it is?

Hello,

I have studied your case.

There are various reasons for tremors

The symptoms may likely to be due to Vitamin B12 deficiency or a fluid and electrolyte imbalance. Taking proper supplements will help in symptomatic improvement after a few blood investigations.

It could come in people who are chronic alcoholics but most often than not it is idiopathic and u can take tab betacap tr in the night to treat it. But don’t take the pills without going to a neurologist

Some medicines like Propranolol, trihexiphenidyl and Primidone are used in an attempt to control it, but they can at best only control the tremors to an extent.
Take them consulting your doctor.
Hormonal imbalance like hypothyroidism leads to similar tremors .So checks your thyroid hormone level.

Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries.

Wishing you good health.

Take care
