Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Nerves in our body are covered with myelin sheath. This sheath is very important for nerve function.
This sheath needs vitamin b 12 and vitamin d 3 for proper functioning.
So when patient is having deficiency of these vitamins, nerve functions are hampered.
So they need supplements to restore nerve functions.
Apart from vitamin b 12 and vitamin d 3, in your case, we should also rule out uncontrolled stress and depression as a cause.
So better to consult psychiatrist and get done counselling sessions. Try to identify stressor in your life and start working on its solution.
You may need additional anxiolytic drugs too.
Don't worry, you will be alright with all these.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
