What Causes Extreme Weight Loss And Tingling Sensation In The Feet And Hands?
My husband is suffering from extreme weight loss, tingling in feet and hands. His job requires constant walking and standing without sometimes breaks for at least 6 hours. he saw a doctor today and was told to seek treatment from a neurologist. My question is what would cause him to have to see a neurologist? what exactly is a neurologist? Thank you for your time

Hello,
If you have severe weight loss, then it should be investigated. Blood routine should be done to rule out any inflammatory disease running in your body. A neurologist is one who is dealing with your nervous system problems. Your doctor referred him to neurologist most likely due to the tingling sensation.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
