Left leg and Left arm unresponsive

I woke up with my left arm and left leg being heavier than my right for atleast 5 mins at 3am in the morning. Its been 5 days since. I could move my limbs but they were extremely stone heavy than right. No tingling or numbness just heavy. I was horrified. I have had a Brain MRI 3 years ago due to anxiety symptoms. It was normal back then. I have had strange symptoms like palm sized pressure in the left side top of my head which happened atleast 7 times last year and then completely stopped. The last pressure episode happened at nov 2025 when I woke up in the morning and suddenly had palm size pressure in the same area with my left index finger and left thumb tingling. It never happened since. However 5 days I had my left leg and arm feeling like it was being pulled stronger by gravity when I woke up randomly at 3am. I am only 22. I have been taking bisoprolol 2.5mg for 3 years due to severe anxiety. That medicine keeps my bp at 104/73, HR at 73 on rest. So far, it's always after sleep.

Parkinson's

Hi, My brother's (Age 38) TRODAT result came as below: Presynaptic dopaminergic dysfunction on both sides (L>R). Doctor Prescribed following tablets and he is yet to start the medication. 1. Rasalect 1 mg (once daily) 2. Amantrel 100mg (twice daily) Currently the symptoms what he is having is mild and only discomfort in one hand finger movement and he is able to manage. My questions are 1. Is it necessary to start the meditation immediately as he is able to manage with just minor discomfort only. (Understood that these medications create side effects) 2. Does starting meditation early or late have any merits / demerits with respect to the progression of the disease? 3. Is this scan report finding confirmed Parkinson? Kindly help with your opinion on this please. Thank you in advance.
