Needs further eval: numbness/tingling, called paresthesia, have many many potential causes from hypothyroidism, vit B12 def, to serious neurologic problems. if you are anemia it is ot always iron deficiency and in fact a b12 def can cause anemia as well. I would recommend seeing your doctor and discussing more and working it up further with a professional.
