Vitamin B1 Thiamine Deficiency Symptoms

Beriberi is common in people who are severely deficient in Thiamine. This is characterized by neurological symptoms, cardiovascular abnormalities, and edema. People with this disease are characterized by multiple inflammatory changes in the nerves, producing great muscular debility (loss in strength in muscles), a painful rigidity of the limbs, and cachexy.

Other than getting the beriberi disease, Thiamine deficiency may cause pain or tingling in arms or legs, decreased reflex activity, heart enlargement and many other health problems.

Some minor Thiamine deficiency symptoms include:

• Loss of appetite
• Fatigue
• Nausea
• Mental problems, such as rolling of eyeballs, depression, memory loss, difficulty concentrating
• Rapid heartbeat
• Gastrointestinal disorders
• Tender, atrophied muscles
• Wernike's encephalopathy
  

Thiamine is a basic Vitamin B. It is water-soluble. It works closely with other B vitamins. You need Thiamine to convert food to energy and to keep your brain, nervous system and heart running well. An healthy adult should take between 1.1 to 1.2 mg of Thiamine every day which is not very much.
