What Causes Tingling Sensation In The Feet And Hands?

Starting yesterday, i have had tingling in my feet and hands. Some of the tingling has crept up my calves and arms. I otherwise feel completely fine and am physically active (I run and play hockey regularly) with no signs of weakness. I take a multi-vitamin which includes B12. I am 42 years old, 5 5 and 140lbs with no history of any nerve issues or diabetes. Should I see a doc right away

Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I understand your concern.
Tingling sensation what you are experiencing in hands and feet could be due to:
1. Vitamin deficiency.
2. Calcium deficiency.
Kindly continue to take Vitamin B12. However, if would be better if you supplement with multivitamin capsules along with it as some other vitamins like Thiamine and Pantothenic acid is essential for peripheral nerve functioning.
Also, supplement with calcium by medication and consume calcium rich foods.
Gradually, you should be able to overcome the symptoms.
Hope the information provided would be helpful.
All the best.
Regards,
