Numbness/3Days/Weird Feel/Left Arm & Leg
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. What should I Do?
