Suggest Treatment For Numbness In The Legs And Arms

Can you please let me know what other exams should I go and make me? Also what vitamins for the brain can you recommend me at the moment? Im taking natural multivitamins. Theres a serious problem with doctors here in my country, they dont want to send exams to people, the only exams they send is blood exam. Thank you I will be waiting for your help!
Note: I'm not experiencing any anxiety.
My medical History is the following:
Asthma until 8 years old
Varicocele Surgery left testicle
Arryhtmia Left V treatment with metoprolol
Risperidone 1mg for 10 months
Get Vitamin B12 and D levels checked.
Detailed Answer:
Hello thanks for asking from HCM for your health related doubts
I can understand your concern. You have symptoms like feelings that your legs are empty and arms like clay especially when you wake up in morning. There is no significant history of anxiety in your case but you have taken Risperidone for few months.
Your physical examination was normal like deep tendon reflex and responses.
If we consider the investigations that you should undergo for these symptoms then these are-
- Complete blood count or CBC and thyroid profile (you already underwent these)
- Vitamin B12 ans D (25-OH D levels) should be checked. (low vitamin B12 and D are known to increase the restlessness and risk of anxiety and are known to cause symptoms you have)
This is basic workup for your symptoms. If the symptoms don't improve even on multivitamin supplements then further investigations like NCV should be done.
Nerve Conduction Velocity or NCV for both upper and lower limbs should be done to find out any neurological cause. If all these come normal then most likely cause of your symptoms is anxiety and stress.
Thanks.
Please let me know if you need more assistance.
