3. Hypoparathyroidism

Hypoparathyroidism is rare but occurs when your parathyroid glands no longer produce parathyroid hormone, which controls the calcium in the blood. Besides tingling in the tongue and extremities, people with this condition may experience weakness, seizures, muscle cramps, and dizziness. For most people, damage or injury causes the parathyroid glands to stop working, and some people may require surgery to remove them.
