Confused symptoms

[bnrizzo86]

I am a female 21 year old. For the last 3 months I have been experiencing numbness in my hands, nausea, and occasionaly dizziness.  This past week the numbness has gotten worse, my right arm, right leg, and upper lip go numb off and on through out the day.  I have had a cat scan, blood, and urine tests done with nothing coming up.

Hello.

My physical fitness is pretty poor i am 5'3 and 140 pounds I work and go to school everyday and I do not work out.  I recently had a mri they said everything looked good no MS, or other problems.  I did ask about vitamin levels everything was normal.  The numbness is always the same different parts at different times, only my arms and legs nothing else. It gets worse when I lay down or stop activities. So far it seems like it is getting worse, more at night then morning. I was taking anxiety pills but they did not help.  My family history is of diabetes which they said is fine. I am going to the neurologist tmw.

If you could let me know what you think that would be great.
Thank You

Hello.

Have you observed if the numbness varies with any particular activity ? And how is you physical fitness ? I guess the hemoglobin was checked.

Some vitamin deficiencies may also lead to such symptoms. You can go ahead and try vitamin supplements for a few weeks and see.

Do you have any family history of similar problems ?
