Why Do I Have Touch Sensation After A While?

Hi. I feel very funny. Something like being on weed. but i didnt take any drugs now. my head kinda hurts and i dont know what is going on. all my touch feelings are delayed, a lot of stuff is actually delayed for example if i touch my feet, i only feel it after a while. especially with cold objects. and i feel like what is going on here? no idea whats happening. what could it possibly be and how can i feel normal again?

Hello,

I believe the best approach to solving your problem would be to the exam you neurologically to see how your CENTRAL AND PERIPHERAL nervous systems are functioning.

The type of perceptual delay of tactile stimulation really has no organic basis in terms of neurotransmitters, neuronal circuit abnormalities, or cortical pathology that could reasonably explain such a "trapping" if you will of sensory signals and only transmit them at some point in the future.

Nevertheless, I would do a basic chemistry workup on you to also include things such as Vitamin B12, D, B1, B2, and folate. I might also check thyroid function studies such as TSH and FT4.

If these come back normal then, your symptoms are more likely than not related to anxiousness, stress, or variable severity of depression.

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

Take care

Regards,
Dr Dariush Saghafi, Neurologist
