Guide To Megaloblastic Anemia Symptoms

Muscle Weakness

As mentioned previously, one of the symptoms of megaloblastic anemia, when a deficiency in vitamin B12 is involved, is numbness and tingling in the hands and feet. This is particularly linked to overall muscle weakness because the muscles are not getting the nutrients needed to function at their appropriate levels.

The patient's bones may also be weak, which means they could have more fractures than the average healthy individual.
