Hello dear,
The symptoms as mentioned in your post can be due to:
1. Peripheral neuropathy.
2. Dietary deficiencies of certain nutrients like Iron, Calcium, Vitamin D, Vitamin B 12, Folic acid, etc. which help in blood formation & nerve conduction.
3. Entrapment of nerve fibers at the head and neck region.
4. Any fluctuation in blood pressure (Hypo/ Hypertension) or blood sugar levels (Hypo/ Hyperglycemia).
Symptomatic relief can be obtained by intake of nervigenic agents (like Vitamin B6, Vitamin B 12, Folic acid) as well as multivitamin & multimineral supplements including iron, calcium & Vitamin D needs to be added in your diet.
If symptoms still persist, kindly consult a Neurologist & get a complete Neurological examination done.
Certain investigations like complete blood count, serum electrolyte estimation, fresh estimation of blood pressure & blood sugar levels & nerve conduction studies will be helpful to rule out any pathological cause for the symptoms.
Wishing you a Good Health.
Take care.
