What Causes Tingling In The Arms And Legs?

Starting yesterday, i have had tingling in my feet and hands. Some of the tingling has crept up my calves and arms. I otherwise feel completely fine and am physically active (I run and play hockey regularly) with no signs of weakness. I take a multi-vitamin which includes B12. I am 42 years old, 5 5 and 140lbs with no history of any nerve issues or diabetes. Should I see a doc right away?

General & Family Physician,  's  Response

Thanks for asking to healthcaremagic.I understand your concern.
Brief answer:Immediate medical attention not needed,but you need to be concerned.
Detailed answer:According to me,the symptoms can be due to nutrient deficiency.If i am your family physician,initially would advise you with multivitamin tablet containing(mainly B6,B12) like neurobion,twice daily for 2-3 weeks.If symptoms doesn't improve or persists in the course of treatment,would evaluate to rule out diabetes,anemia,other nerve disorders etc.
Hope this information helps you.If any questions,happy to answer you.Take care.
