Probably not serious: Although these symptoms may be due to real disease processes, the constellation of these associated symptoms in a 22 year old raise the spectre of hyperventilation syndrome, a benign situation with the rapid heart rate and tingling due to the physiologic and biochemical changes in the body induced by Adrenalin and elevation of the pH by overbreathing.

: Symptoms of a folic acid deficiency are more likely to be along the lines of fatigue, weakness and weight loss.

Schedule a follow up with your doctor to discuss the results of your tests and consider further evaluation if the symptoms continue.
