Suggest Treatment For Blurred Vision And Numbness In The Hand

my daughter is 18 she has had two episodes where her vision gets blurry and right hand goes numb. Her doctor seemed to think it was migraines but she doesn't get a headache until after this happens. We took her to the eye doctor and they thought it sounded like a mini stroke. She is on birth control so we went to gynecologist and they switched her pill but also thought it sounded like migraines. Wanted another opinion and wondered if it could be something more serious.

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have blurred vision and numbness in the hand . Well the symptoms you mention in query can occur due to may reasons like peripheral neuropathy , generalized anxiety disorder , panic attack , transient ischemic attack , diabetes, type 2 , migraine and vitamin B12 deficiency . I would suggest you to consult cardiologist to rule out serious condition like stroke . Doctor may order blood tests , CT scan , MRI , carotid ultrasound , cerebral angiogram and echocardiogram . Doctor may also refer you to endocrinologist to rule out diabetic condition . For now take proper rest , do meditation , do not go anywhere alone and drink green tea thrice a day .

Hope your concern has been resolved.
