Tag: Vitamin B12 Deficiency

Numbness in the hands is a fairly common issue and usually one we ignore. Your hand may be numb right after you wake up simply because you've put too much pressure on it while sleeping. Sometimes, however, numbness in the hands may be a symptom of chronic conditions such as carpal tunnel syndrome or diabetes. A host of other conditions such as systemic diseases and medication can also cause numbness in hands. It is important to find and address the underlying cause of the condition.

Symptoms of vitamin B12 deficiency are so varied that it's often difficult to diagnose the deficiency on the basis of symptoms alone. If you lack B12 whether due to your diet or poor absorption, you would experience fatigue, shortness of breath, muscle weakness, dizziness, poor vision, pale or yellow skin, a smooth tongue, and even vitiligo. You may also have more episodes of brain fog and depression.
