HelloThanks doe posting at Chat Doctor. Your symptoms of left sided tingling sensation with numbness on the left side can be symptoms of a stroke. I don't want to scare you, but it is important to get evaluated for the same. I recommend an MRI brain at the earliest. If MRI is not available locally for some reason a plain CT brain can also be done. But MRI is more informative. On basis of MRI the further treatment can be planned. If MRI does NTFS how any abnormalities, then it may be neuropathy which you are suffering from. In that case please take it B 12 tablets one daily. Please revert with MRI findings. Wishing you good health. Regards
