What Causes Numbness And Tingling Sensation In Legs?
I had an antrio gram and angiography yesterday on both legs. My Cardiologist went through my groine area. However, I am feeling some numbness and tingling in my Right leg. I tried to contact my doctor, but was told that he does not take patient calls at this time. Because I am experiencing this, is it normal or should I be headed to the Emergency Room? Please advise.
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have numbness and tingling sensation in legs. Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like abnormal levels of vitamin B12 or other vitamins, potassium, calcium, or sodium , poor blood supply to the affected area , herniated disk in your spine , pressure on your nerves diabetes or transient ischemic attack . I would suggest you to put your legs in hot water tun with epsom salt for 15 minutes daily , drink plenty if water , eat healthy and do light exercise . If condition doesn't get well then consult orthopedic surgeon for proper examination and treatment . If your are experiencing dizziness , shortness of breath or weakness along with numbness and tingling in legs then your should go to emergency .
