Hello,

First of all, alcohol and smoking can decrease the level of vitamin B in your body, resulting in tingling and numbness.

So, you need to stop smoking and drinking, besides, taking some vitamins such as vitamin B-complex, folic acid, Benfotiamine and thioctic acid.you should do some investigations such as:

liver function test and measuring blood pressure.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care
