Hi,I am Dr. Prabhakar Koregol (Cardiologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Can Atrial Fibrillation Cause Numbness In Face,arms And Legs?
I have recently started having numbness in my face, arms and legs. No weakness, just the weird feelings. And hands have also recently started shaking. The shaking is not dramatic but sometimes prevents me from picking up anything that is very heavy. The shaking started out as just sometimes, but now it is almost all of the time. The numbness comes and goes. I turned 70 yesterday. Other than the fact that I had 2 heart valves replaced 2 years ago and now suffer with Afib, I am in pretty good health. I still work full time.
