Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thank you for posting your query and providing detailed information.
Based on your symptoms, the most likely diagnosis could be post-infectious
polyradiculopathy or Guillain Barre syndrome (GBS). In this condition, there is
tingling,
numbness and pain of legs and arms, associated with weakness and breathing difficulty.
The diagnosis can be confirmed by clinical examination (where we find sluggish or absent deep tendon reflexes), nerve conduction studies and
lumbar puncture.
The condition is self-limiting in 50% of people and improves on own. In the remaining, it may worsen (over four weeks). In most severe cases, affected people may not be able to walk at all.
I would suggest you to
consult a neurologist for evaluation and confirmation of diagnosis.
I hope my answer helps. Please get back if you have any follow up queries or if you require any additional information.
Wishing you good health,
