Hi! Welcome to health care magic! Thanks for sharing your concerns with us. We will try to help you in best way possible.

First of all, it is sad to know what you had been experiencing lately. Based on the history you have shared, the symptoms like neck stiffness and weakness in arms and legs isn't something which can be ignored and necessitates need of a detailed neurological examination by your doctor and if needed a neurologist opinion may he sought. That alone will narrow down that whether neuro imaging or radiological work up is needed or not.

Meahwile using supplements of vitamin B12, D3 and folic acid may also be started. Also look for postural drop of blood pressure on standing up which may cause dizziness or weakness and that may be caused by tenoretic.

Other blood work up including hemoglobin levels, thyroid levels and metabolic profile may wait at this moment. Wishing you a speedy recovery. If you have any more questions, feel free to ask. Regards.
