Left aide numbness
Everyday I feel left side of my face tingling or an uncomfortable sensation.. also in my left leg and hand feel week ... I have high BP medicine. I am very much frighten whether it is stroke or not. Every time I don't feel like that. Please help me
Kindly visit the ER immediately and get evaluated for this weakness over the left side to rule out such occurrences. If you get headache, vomiting, dizziness, etc you should visit the ER at the earliest. It is best to rule out such problems at the earliest.
