Hypocalcemia describes below-average blood calcium levels. A tingling tongue is an advanced sign of this condition. More common symptoms include cramp, muscle twitches, stiffness, tingling in the toes and fingers, seizures, and dizziness. The causes of hypocalcemia include low vitamin D, low parathyroid hormone, kidney disease, low magnesium levels, cancer medication, pancreatitis, and thyroid surgery complications. A blood test confirms this condition and a calcium supplement may help correct the problem.
