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.
