Numbness could be a warning signal for you.

Limb numbness can be a symptom of many diseases, including prolonged sitting in an uncomfortable position. If a particular body part, not an improvement, it can also be due to some other cause or disease.

Consider the possible reasons for this unpleasant symptom later in this article.

Attack of the immune system

The first symptoms of Guillain-Barre syndrome often include a feeling of weakness and numbness in the extremities. These feelings can spread quickly, and eventually paralyzes the whole body. The result — difficulty walking, swallowing, and bladder control or bowel.

The syndrome is also characterized by heart palpitations, changes in blood pressure and shortness of breath.

Vitamin B12 deficiency

Deficiency of vitamin B12 can manifest a slight tingling and numbness in the hands and feet, as well as problems related to mental activity and memory . A typical deficiency of this vitamin is characterized by feeling of weakness and fatigue, anemia, problem with coordination and even hallucinations.

Vitamin is essential for formation of red blood cells and for many other functions in the body. According to experts, vegetarians are particularly susceptible to this risk because plant foods do not have full vitamin 12.

Strict vegetarians and vegans are at even greater risk of deficiency of this vitamin. If you do not eat grains, take the appropriate supplements that will help to keep your body.
