I have been having intermittent numbness and tingling sensations in my chest and throat and face. I went to the doctoer and was told it is either a vitamin deficiency or peripheral nuerapathy. Any suggestions? Anybody else have these feelings. Or ideas on things to do?

Hi,
How are you feeling now?
Any type of tingling, burning, or numbness is usually a symptom related to a sensory nerve being damaged, diseased, or injured.
Any infection at the root of nerve or compression will cause similar lesion.
This peripheral nerve pathology can be due to Diabetes, Prediabetes, vitamin deficiency, altered blood pressure status or any nutritional deficiency.
I think you should consult physician and if required neurologist.
Bye.

Hi.

Do you experience any other symptoms aside from the numbness and tingling? Do you have a history of diabetes? Your symptoms could, indeed, be related to a vitamin deficiency (probably cobalamin deficiency) or neuropathy.  You should have your vitamin levels assessed and diabetes ruled out via laboratory tests.

The symptoms you have are non-specific and can occur in a variety of conditions.  You should consult a neurologist to have a complete neurological examination done.

Good luck.
