Suggest Treatment For Fatigue After Suffering From Bell's Palsy
Hi Doctor, I had lithium toxicity due to bad judgment from my MD prescribing me Lisinopril while being on lithium. I was told by my Psychiatrist that I my kidneys were a little bad from the blood tests. Now years later I developed Bell's Palsy, and it is now almost two years and I have started having numbness in the face and my expression is not fully there and I have fatigue, what are my options in terms of treatment?

HI
Well come to HCM
If you are on lithium then this need to be check for the toxicity and if found like that then dose of lithium need to be adjusted accordingly, while for the other drug like "Lisinopril" you could continue this, for other medical condition like Bell's palsy now nothing can be done whether being treated or not, you have a functional condition so looking to this certain symptoms would be likely and this is just nothing to worry, hope this information helps, take care.
