A member asked:

I've been drinking anf i'm having feelings numbness and tingling in my fingers, why am i feeling these sensations and should i seek medical attention?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

How much drinking?: Alcohol can cause a condition called neuropathy usually described by people as numbness/tingling in the fingers/toes. However, this occurs usually over long periods of time & more than social usage. So, unless you've been using alcohol since age 3- I doubt that's the cause. Nevertheless, there are other reasons for the symptoms in someone your age. If they persist then, you should see a doctor.
