Doctors called the symptom of vitamin B12 deficiency

Vitamin B12 deficiency may not manifest itself for a long time, sometimes the first signs of its deficiency appear only in old age. Scientists say that B12 deficiency is most common in people over 50 years of age. It manifests itself in strange sensations in the body.

Patients with B12 deficiency complain of tingling in the limbs. This happens with insufficient blood supply. A sign of an abnormally low level of B12, doctors consider a sharp stabbing pain in the palm under the ring finger.

Another dangerous sign is a painful spasm, which doctors compare to an electric shock. It can appear on the side of the body – along the ribs and on the thigh. Sometimes these spasms alternate in different parts of the body.

To rule out such a development, doctors recommend checking the B12 level with a blood test. In case of real danger due to vitamin deficiency, the doctor will prescribe food supplements, diet or vitamin injections.
