A member asked:

Can a vitamin/mineral deficiency cause tingling in your fingers?

6 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

Yes: Deficiencies in vitamin B12 can cause tingling. Thiamine deficiency (vitamin b1) may also cause tingling along with generalized weakness and fatigue.

Dr Ali and another doctor agreed

Yes: Vitamin b 12 deficiency, as well as hypothyroidism and diabetes can cause this. Get labs drawn and perhaps a nerve conduction study to determine if it is coming from a cervical spine injury.
