Do you feel tingling in your lips? Here’s why
The Federal Center for Health Awareness indicated that the feeling of tingling in the lips is due to several reasons, some of which are simple and some of which are serious, explaining that the simple reasons lie in extreme cold weather, psychological tension, fear, and panic attacks.
A tingling sensation in the lips may also indicate a deficiency of vitamins and minerals such as vitamin B12 and magnesium.
In addition, a tingling sensation in the lips may herald the presence of some diseases such as lip herpes and burning mouth syndrome, in addition to diabetes and multiple sclerosis.
Therefore, the Center stressed the necessity of consulting a doctor if the feeling of tingling in the lips is accompanied by other symptoms such as breathing difficulties, swelling of the entire face, pale skin, constant fatigue, poor concentration, inflammation of the lips, and the appearance of pimples on the lips.
Through blood tests, allergy tests, and neurological examinations, the doctor can determine the real cause behind the tingling sensation in the lips and treat it, for example, with antiviral medications if the cause is viral, such as herpes, or with antihistamines if the tingling feeling is due to an allergy, or nutritional supplements if it is. The reason lies in the lack of vitamins and minerals.
