Tingling is an unpleasant sensation in which there is reduced or absent feeling in the skin or a pins and needles sensation. In addition to tingling, you may also feel numbness or weakness in your hands and feet.
This feeling might result from pressure on nerves when your arm is crooked either when you fall asleep or stay in a certain posture for a long time or it might also result when you cross your legs too long.
Here's the causes of such a feeling;
1. Vitamin deficiencies
Healthy nerve functions requires enough vitamins such as E, B1, B6 and B12. When you do not consume enough vitamins or a case where the vitamins are not properly absorbed in your body, a deficiency occurs.
Deficiency of these vitamins leads to peripheral neuropathy, a condition involving nerve damage hence leading to tingling in the hands and the feet.
2. Kidney failure
Kidney failure occurs when a kidney is not functioning properly. Diabetes and high blood pressure can result to kidney failure.
When your kidney are not functioning properly, fluids and waste products will be accumulated in your body resulting to nerve damage and this causes a tingling sensation in the feet.
3. Alcoholism
Alcohol is a toxin which is capable of damaging nerve tissues especially when taken in large amounts.
Alcohol damages peripheral nerves leading to pain and tingling feeling in the limbs, hands and feet.
