Severe Weird Sensations/Numbness Maybe.
Hey,
I'm Experiencing Severe Weird Sensations or Numbness Maybe in Left Leg and Left Arm since last 3 Days started around Evening while getting Ready for Workplace. Thought would Vanish on its Own, still Struggling with this.
Im Severe Hypertension Patient with last BP Reading 214/125 at Doc's Hospital who suggested to start Amlip 5 Once Daily and Mecofol Once a Day for both Numbness and Weird Sensations in Left Leg and Left Arm and for Severely High BP.
I have No Other Issues apart from maybe Mild Chest Discomfort usually happening after I take a Meal or when I feel Stressed about this Numbness or after taking Amlip 5 due to its known side effects.
My Leg and Arm both have Sensations as in I can feel Everything its not totally Gone. I can feel Mosquito Bite, or if I Pinch or Slap, I do feel the Pain or Sensation but its not the Usual Sensation as on My Right Side which is absolutely fine.
Also, Sensations are most common whenever I Move, Walk, or Touch something. Suggestions?

Hello,
Your symptoms are concerning and require immediate medical evaluation.
A blood pressure reading of 214/125 mmHg, together with altered sensation affecting your left arm and left leg for three days, raises significant concern for a possible stroke or hypertensive emergency.
Even though you can still feel touch, pinching, and pain, partial preservation of sensation does not rule out a stroke.
Other causes, such as nerve compression, vitamin deficiencies, or anxiety, are possible. However, these should only be considered after serious neurological and cardiovascular conditions have been excluded.
Your associated chest discomfort is another important warning sign.
Amlip 5 (amlodipine) is used to control hypertension, but it does not replace emergency assessment when neurological symptoms are present.
Next Steps
Visit the nearest emergency department immediately, preferably a hospital with stroke and neurology facilities. Do not drive yourself. Inform the medical team about your previous BP reading of 214/125 mmHg, persistent left-sided sensory changes, and episodes of chest discomfort. An urgent neurological examination and brain imaging (CT or MRI) are necessary to assess for stroke or other neurological causes. Your physician should assess current blood pressure, ECG, blood glucose, kidney function, and electrolytes, with cardiac troponin testing if indicated. Blood pressure should be managed under medical supervision. Do not take extra amlodipine or attempt to reduce your BP rapidly at home. Further investigations for vitamin deficiencies or peripheral nerve conditions can be considered after emergency causes have been excluded.
Health Tips
Please do not wait for these symptoms to resolve on their own. Stroke can sometimes present with sensory changes alone, without complete paralysis or loss of consciousness. Avoid strenuous physical activity and do not independently stop or change your prescribed medications. If you experience facial drooping, speech difficulty, worsening weakness, severe headache, visual disturbances, or increasing chest discomfort, inform emergency services immediately. My recommendation: Severe hypertension combined with persistent one-sided sensory disturbances and chest discomfort must be treated as a potential medical emergency until stroke and acute cardiovascular complications are excluded. Please seek emergency care without delay. Wishing you a safe and speedy recovery.
