What Causes Numbness In The Body And Scalp And Trouble In Focusing?

Hi, okay here is my situation, i never really do hard drugs but last weekend i did some coke along with heavy drinking. i felt fine the next day, but this morning i woke up and after my coffee i experienced numbness throughout my body and scalp, i have trouble focusing and i twitch occasionally. this has not gone away all day, is it from my weekend activities? or something else? will it go away? why didn t i feel like this directly the day after? I m drinking plenty of water, eating and sleeping fine, i am never doing this again.

Hello,

Coke and coffee may contain caffeine which may lead to palpitations and tingling or tremors in body.

Alcohol may lead to thiamine deficiency lead to beriberi may also present like this.

So avoid alcohol and smoking. About caffeinated drinks.

Other possibilities like hypokalemia or hyponatremia or peripheral neuropathy or stroke etc.

Please consult your doctor he will examine and treat you accordingly.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
