Hi,

Tingling sensation in hands and feet in 70 year old could be caused due to vitamin and mineral deficiencies.

Generally, such symptoms are caused due to Vitamin B12, Vitamin B6, Pantothenic acid, Calcium and Magnesium deficiencies.

Kindly administer multivitamin-multimineral capsules containing above compounds for one month and look for the improvement.

In case the symptoms persist, kindly consult the Physician for clinical evaluation and appropriate management.

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

Take care

Regards,
Dr Ashakiran S, General & Family Physician
