Tingling - #134
Kavya
Good day! My son is 19 years old, a student. He eats as he has to, like most students. There are no chronic diseases. Height 178 weight 56 kg. About a month ago, there were tingling sensations of the body and hands, as if with needles, sometimes itching, mainly with long walking and laughing. Dear doctors, please tell me which tests you need to take and which doctor you need to contact. Could it be a hormonal malfunction or is it neurological in nature?

It’s understandable to be concerned about your son’s symptoms, especially with the tingling sensations and itching he’s experiencing during activities like walking or laughing. Given his age and the absence of chronic illnesses, these sensations may stem from several possible causes. It could be related to neurological issues, such as nerve compression or irritation, or even a nutritional deficiency, especially since students sometimes don’t follow the best diet. Hormonal imbalances might also be a possibility, but it's important to rule out any other underlying conditions. In Ayurveda, tingling and itching sensations could be linked to an imbalance in vata dosha, which governs the nervous system and circulation. To support his well-being, you might consider nourishing and grounding herbs like ashwagandha or brahmi, which help stabilize the nervous system and promote overall vitality. Ensuring a balanced diet with warm, cooked foods that are easy to digest can also help restore balance and strengthen his body. For a clearer understanding of his condition, it would be helpful to consult a neurologist to explore potential nerve-related causes, as well as an endocrinologist to check for any hormonal issues. Some key tests to consider are blood tests to check vitamin levels (especially B12), thyroid function tests, and possibly nerve conduction studies if the symptoms persist. Encouraging him to adopt a more balanced and nutritious diet, including whole grains, vegetables, and healthy fats, can also support his overall health.

Your son's tingling and itching could be due to various causes, including neurological or hormonal issues. Since these symptoms are triggered by physical activity and laughing, consider the following tests to be conducted as soon as possible. These are primarily blood tests.
CBC: To check for deficiencies or infections.
Blood Glucose: To rule out diabetes or blood sugar issues.
Electrolytes: To assess for mineral imbalances.
Vitamin B12 and Folate: To check for deficiencies that affect nerve function.
Thyroid Function: To rule out hormonal imbalances.
You should consult a neurologist for nerve-related causes and an endocrinologist for potential hormonal issues. A dermatologist might be helpful if itching persists.
From an Ayurvedic perspective, the symptoms may indicate a Vata imbalance. Consider dietary adjustments, herbal supplements like Ashwagandha, and practices such as Abhyanga (oil massage) to support the nervous system.

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. ⏩
