Dear patient,

Thanks for your health concerns. As you have realized, sarcoidosis can be a multisystemic disease; cardiopulmonary involvement has been noted in your particular case. With a potential substrate, I think that further investigations are needed, as involvement of the nervous system, albeit rare, has been reported. A qualified provider should perform a physical and complete neurologi examaination to rule out abnormalities, and determine if further workup is needed.

Hope this helps, wish you the best health,
