Hi,
Welcome to healthcare magic. Thank you for your question.
Tingling in the feet can be caused by a variety of conditions. In general, it is important to rule out serious causes of the tingling--so it is best to see your family doctor to evaluate this condition.
In general, the
tingling sensation in your feet could represent a neuropathy - which is defined as damage to the nerve.
The first thing to rule out is nerve impingement. For example, back problems can pinch a nerve that causes numbness or tingling in the legs. If you have back pain this could be related.
Other common causes of nerve problems that should be ruled out are: diabetes (high blood sugar), nutritional problems (like low B12 levels),
hypothyroidism (low thyroid hormone which can also cause fatigue and
constipation), syphilis (a
sexually transmitted disease) or
Lyme disease (a tick-borne infection).
Other rare disease like
amyloidosis can also cause this. In general these are rare but should be ruled out.
Primary nerve disorders like
demyelinating polyneuropathy can cause these symptoms.
If this is a nerve problem -- testing can be done to see the extent of the damage. It is important to note that if any weakness or loss of sensation occurs that you must seek medical attention immediatley. While hopefully not a serious condition, these should be ruled out. I would recommend seeing your family doctor for a thorough evaluation.
I hope thos answers your query.
With best regards,
Dr. K
