My husband has been having needle pricking sensation and liflessness attacks which lasts for a few minutes and then vanishes. He also feels tired sometime. We have gone to a neuro , cardio and a ent who has confimred that there is nothing wrong. These attacks come after about 1 to 3 hours of eating and sometimes even without eating. No other symptoms at all.

Cardiologist 's  Response
Hi! According to the description of symptoms , your husband appears to have 'Simple Partial Seizures'
I would suggest you to have consultation with an eminent neurologist & undergo investigations like EEG & PET MRI Scan.
You need not worry much because the problem may be cured completely, but may require a long term treatment & to be under observation of the neurologist. He may also require cognitive behavioral treatment.
Thanks & take care of yourselves.
