No I am not diabetic or hypertension. My tripping has been going on for a long time but now it’s much more frequent. The spasms in my leg have been there awhile also but they also are much more frequent lately the same as my handwriting. I was screened a few months ago for stroke. It was clear.
But something is wrong

Brief Answer:
Vitamin B 12

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thanks for the information.

The above symptoms in the absence of diabetes can be seen due to Vitamin B12 deficiency.

Do get Vitamin B12 level estimated. Supplementing with the vitamin if it is deficient will surely solve the problem. Meanwhile, you can start with Levocarnitine tablets daily once in the night.

Hope, I answered your query.

Wish you good health.
