What Causes Tingling Feeling Near My Eye And Weakness In My Arms And Legs?

Hi, I have had this face tingling on my left side near my eye and goes round my cheek. It come and goes. I have had it for a couple of years now and am really annoyed I as it is not going away. I get really down when I have it. Also I have been feeling really weak in my arms and legs. This has just stared. I feel like there is something wrong as I don't feel generally well all the time. Just like a blah yuck feeling. I am female and 38.

Hi, thanks for using healthcare magic

The tingling sensation that you are experiencing is likely neuropathy. This refers to abnormal structure or function of the nerves.

It can be central (involving the brain and spinal cord) or peripheral.

Your abnormal sensations may be related to peripheral neuropathy.

The possible causes are: (1)vitamin deficiency- particularly b12 or folate
(2) trauma
(3)diabetes
(4)exposure to toxins
(5) autoimmune disease
(6)infections
(7)liver or kidney disease

You may want to consider visiting your doctor for an assessment.

I hope this helps
