What causes numbness in both feet?

Numbness of the feet is a very common physical disease in real life, especially among middle-aged and elderly people. As they age, all aspects of their body gradually deteriorate, which can easily lead to poor blood flow and numbness of the feet. Modern people are also prone to numbness of the feet due to long-term sitting at work, which is generally caused by blood obstruction. Soaking your feet in hot water can relieve blood circulation.

Causes of numbness in feet

The numbness in the feet is mainly caused by high blood viscosity, poor blood circulation and blocked meridians. It is recommended to use some blood-activating and blood-stasis-removing drugs to promote blood circulation. Be sure to drink plenty of water.

Other causes

Cerebral arteriosclerosis - numbness in fingers and toes

Numbness in the hands is a common symptom of cerebral arteriosclerosis. Patients with cerebral arteriosclerosis often feel numbness in their fingers and toes, and some patients with cerebral arteriosclerosis often feel inflexible fingers. In addition, cerebral arteriosclerosis may also cause a feeling of ants crawling across the skin, or tension and soreness in the neck and back muscles. Especially if the limb numbness is stubborn, lasts for a long time, and is fixed to a certain limb, and if there is also limb fatigue, cramps, and throbbing pain, you must seek medical attention promptly, otherwise it may easily lead to a stroke.

Hypertension - numbness in hands and feet while sleeping

Hypertension does not necessarily have symptoms, but patients with hypertension who have symptoms often experience numbness in the limbs, especially in the hands and feet when sleeping. Because patients with hypertension are prone to insufficient blood supply, this condition manifests in the limbs as numbness in the hands and feet.

Lower limb artery occlusion - numbness and cold feet

Maintaining a certain sitting posture for a long time can cause numbness in the lower limbs. If you have not been sitting for a long time and feel numbness and swelling in your legs, you should pay attention, as this is most likely caused by blockage of the leg arteries. People with this disease not only experience numbness in their feet, but also cold feet. In severe cases, they may even limp when walking and need to rest for a few minutes after walking for a while. If this happens, be sure to see a doctor immediately.

Stroke – numbness in hand, foot, face on one side of the body

Stroke is also called cerebral infarction. Many patients with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases are very afraid of stroke. There will be numbness during a stroke, but it usually occurs on one side. Professor Hong Hua (famous doctor appointment), deputy director of the Department of Neurology at Zhongshan First Hospital, said that the symptoms of stroke are mostly sudden and unilateral. If you suddenly develop numbness on one side of your face or one hand or foot, and the numbness progresses quickly, you may need to go to the emergency room for medical treatment.
