What Causes Numbness In The Feet And Tingling Sensation All Over The Body?

I have had a test for thyroidism - I have two numb feet after experiencing numbness and tingling over my body for several months. I have panic attacks and now react badly in stressful situations - the loss of my father a few weeks ago - and am unable to refrain from crying and becoming tearful at the slightest emotional upset. I have been treated with clonosopan [sic] for panic attacks. My hair has become very thin, and the skin on my face is very dry with scabby patches (not pimples) which I tend to scratch at! I also suffer greatly in the heat and I am unable to eat much - I constantly drink dehydration drinks as I work outside in the sun constantly (sports instructor).

Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..

As per your complain the symptoms of numbness and tingling over the body along with thinning of hairs and dry and patchy face can be due to causes like hypothyroidism that is reduced thyroid levels in blood..
It can also be due to Vitamin B12 deficiency, Diabetic Neuropathy,multiple sclerosis,cardio vascular diseases,Lyme's disease etc..
I would suggest you to consult a Medicine Specialist or Neurologist and get evaluated and a thorough clinical evaluation along with investigations like Hormonal assy, blood glucose levels, MRI Scan and Nerve conduction velocities can help in diagnosis and treatment can be planned accordingly..As of now you can take Vitamin B complex supplements, take nutritious die and take ample of rest..
Control stress by meditation and breathing exercises..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
