General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hi.

Thank you for reaching out to Health Care Magic.

Some of the causes of the symptoms you have mentioned may be -
Diabetes
Nerve atrophy
Allergies
Weakness
Vitamin deficiency

These can cause tingling and numbness. Often, simple causes can be easily treated. These may become fixed with having a balanced diet, drinking lots of water, stretching, and getting lots of rest.

Complicated causes of weakness and numbness may need a check up. Taking blood pressure, diabetes, and blood tests would be useful. Seeing a doctor to confirm the cause would be useful as well.

I hope this helps. Please reach out to me if you have any other questions.
