Reason For Sudden Dizziness With Heavy Tongue And Unable To Understand The Words While Talking. Blood Test Normal
Hello dr Samuel, I wanted to ask about something My dad today got dizzy suddenly , we went to see the dr and he had a blood test and it was fine But what happened is that when he talk the words aren't understood and his tongue seems heavy I'm very scared and worried, could you help out please Many thanx
Dear Friend Welcome to HCM. The symptoms you are describing are suggestive of "STROKE" especially posterior circulation stroke. If he has history of diabetes and hypertension , and if he is a smoker , he is already at risk of stroke. Get him to ER , brain imaging CT/MRI depending on the clinical examination and availability would clear the diagnosis and he will be treated accordingly. Just don't wait, rush to a hospital NOW. Good luck.
