Thiamine Deficiency treatment in Cuauhtémoc

Thiamine deficiency is the lack of vitamin B1 in the body, a nutrient the cells need to produce energy and that supports the healthy function of the nervous system and the heart.

Possible signs: Fatigue, muscle weakness, abnormal sensations in the limbs, irritability and, with prolonged deficiency, changes that affect the nerves or heart function.

Associated factors: A poorly varied diet, certain problems with intestinal absorption, or heavy alcohol use can contribute to this deficiency.

Which specialist evaluates it? It is studied by an internist, with support from neurology when nerve-related symptoms appear. If you have persistent fatigue or unusual sensations in your arms and legs, it is worth discussing with a professional who can assess your nutritional status.
