What Causes Numbness On One Side Of Head In Hypertensive?
My dad, 46 years old, known hypertensive for the last 5 years, complained of numbness on one side of his head. He was on losarten for the last 5 years and is now regulating his blood pressure with a herbal tablet for hypertension. What is the reason for this numbness?
Hi, the symptoms you describe may occur in stroke /transient ischemic attack, which is very common due to uncontrolled blood pressure which may be due to stopping losartan. I would request you to visit the ER on priority basis. Regards Dr Priyank Mody
