The numbness of the hands and feet makes it tingling. If the heart is insufficient, vitamin B12 is insufficient.
The hands and feet are numb, numbness or tingling. At the same time, the body has changes such as weakness. Most people may think about poor blood circulation. However, these neurologic symptoms at the end of the limb may be related to vitamin B12 deficiency.
Dr. Chen Long, a neurologic department of the hospital, pointed out that vitamin B12 is a substance required for human neurotransmission and affects the speed of neurotransmission. When vitamin B12 is insufficient, "myelination" may occur, resulting in slower touch reactions, numbness and tingling on your fingers.
In addition, vitamin B12 is also related to blood cell formation. Insufficient vitamin B12 may cause changes in large blood cells, and in severe cases, vicious blood may even occur. If there is a problem with neural transmission, it will even affect the cognitive function and cause dementia such as memory reduction.
Who are high-risk groups with vitamin B12 deficiency?
Dr. Chen Long reminds that ethnic groups with poor absorption of vitamin B12 are more likely to appear, including imbalanced diet, having had gastric surgery, autoimmune diseases, and hyperbaric silver hair. The doctor said that foods with higher vitamin B12 content are liver and seafood. If you don’t eat eggs or milk, it is more likely to cause ingestion and not withdrawal.
People who have experienced stomach surgery are prone to insufficient intake because the endogenous factors in the stomach affect the absorption of vitamin B12. As the skin-hair population grows older, we should also pay attention to the risk of poor absorption of vitamin B12. Overall, vitamin B12 deficiency is likely to be related to insufficient dietary intake, poor absorption capacity due to specific reasons or annual growth, resulting in decreased absorption.
How should vitamin B12 be supplemented if it is insufficient?
Dr. Chen Long pointed out that vitamin B12 is mainly derived from natural foods. If you find that vitamin B12 is lacking, you should still supplement your diet as much as possible. When symptoms such as anesthesia and pain are obvious, a high-density vitamin B12 injection will be given locally to quickly resolve the disease.
The doctor reminds that the golden treatment period for repairing nerves is 3-6 weeks. Receiving treatment and supplementing vitamin B12 in advance is beneficial to help neuronal recovery as much as possible. Especially in the short term, neurologic repair should be carried out. High-concentration vitamin B12 will have better effects than low-concentration vitamin B12. It is recommended to replenish it in time when symptoms are discovered in the early stage.
Early detection of insufficient vitamin B12, and opportunities for neurologic repair
If vitamin B12 deficiency is not treated in time, the resulting neurologic symptoms may continue to become malignant. Dr. Chen Long reminds that if you belong to a high-risk group of vitamin B12, pay more attention to whether your hands are numb and your tongue coating is flat, especially the pain and numbness spreading upwards at the ends of your fingers. If the elderly experience cognitive function problems such as repeated questions and memory reduction, it may also be caused by insufficient vitamin B12. It is recommended to go to the neurology for medical examination as soon as possible to compete for the precious time for neurology repair.
