My dad had piles surgery six months ago and since then he's been losing weight, can't eat properly, and his BP keeps dropping low. He feels faint when walking or driving, urinates more frequently, and also has thyroid issues currently taking thyronorm. What could be causing all these symptoms?

I'm feeling a bit worried because a few weeks ago, I started experiencing this tingling pins-and-needles sensation in my feet and hands. It seems to happen in my feet mostly when I'm sitting cross-legged. I went to my doctor, did some tests for vitamin B12, vitamin D, and thyroid, and it turned out my vitamin D was really low, at 29 nmolL. I've been taking vitamin D tablets, but the tingling is still there when I sit a certain way. Plus, my hands get super dry at night. Could all these be related to the vitamin D deficiency?

The tingling sensation in your feet and hands, especially when sitting with legs crossed, and dry hands at night, may be partially related to Vitamin D deficiency, but other factors like poor circulation, nerve compression, or peripheral neuropathy might also contribute; continue taking Vitamin D supplements and consult your doctor to rule out other underlying causes and consider additional tests or referrals to a specialist if necessary.
