Done abdominal hysterectomy. Tingling in tongue, dizziness, palpitations. Help
Patient: hi doctor, I had a total abdominal hysterectomy 3 weeks ago. I obviously had a general anesthetic too. I developed some new symptoms last week which seem to be getting worse, I have a numb tingling feeling in my tongue , have a dizzy blury heavy feeling in my head and have dizzy spells and heart palpitations too. I am 31 years old Any advise would be appreciated Thank you Doctor: Hi,  Thank you for posting your query.  First of all, I wish to reassure you that your symptoms do not suggest any serious neurological problem.  Also, they do not seem to be related to general anesthesia.  Possible causes could be vitamin B12 deficiency, anxiety, stress or exhaustion.  Please get back if you require any additional information.
