Also please give a brief on how the symptoms exactly started.
tingling sensations, like pins and needles in someone’s body, can be kinda puzzling. sometimes it’s just sitting weird on a nerve but like, since it’s been a month, it’s worth digging a bit deeper. with the height and weight you mentioned, your son seems a bit underweight, right? that could mean not getting enough nutrients which affects nerves, muscles n all that.
now, thinking Ayurvedically, it’s possible there’s some Vata imbalance happening. Vata dosha controls movement and the nervous system, so when it’s outta whack, it can cause these sensations. a digestive issue could also be a factor, especially if his diet’s not the greatest cuz you know students and their late-night snacking habits.
let’s talk about necessary tests first. maybe start with a basic blood test to check things like vitamin b12, vitamin d, magnesium levels, and blood sugar - def get those checked. deficiency in b12 especially can cause nerve tingling. also, having a doc look into thyroid function might help, since hormonal shifts could also play a role.
as for what doctor to see, a visit to a neurologist seems like a good step. they can do some more specific tests related to nerve function. might as well add a visit to a nutritionist, or an ayurvedic physician too, who can offer lifestyle advice.
from an ayurvedic perspective, eating warm, cooked foods, reducing cold/raw stuff could help balance vata. think soups, stews, root veggies. herbs like ashwagandha and brahmi might help, but make sure he has someone guide him who knows this stuff.
oh! also, daily abhyanga - that’s like a self-massage with a warm oil, such as sesame oil, might offer some relief. maybe do that before a warm bath or shower.
if things don’t improve or his symptoms worsen, make sure to get more checkups or think about emergency care🤞 joven should be careful! hope this gives you a direction to start on. ⏩
