Can deficiency in b vitamins cause neurological symptoms such as a tremor?
6 doctors weighed in across 3 answers
Usually not tremor: B vitamin deficiency can cause numbness and tingling in the extremities but not usually tremor. Other causes should be researched for tremor. See your primary care for evaluation and referral if needed. Thanks for trusting HealthTap!
