Suggest Me Treatment For Constant Numbness On Left Side Of Head With High Blood Pressure?

For a while now I keep experiencing both constant pressure and a numbness on the left side of my head, right above my ear and wraps around to the nape of my neck and to my left eyebrow... Where even the veins under my skin right above my ear become swollen where they feel like they are gonna burst. My left side of my face and my left hand and arm and leg also become numb. My vision in my eye becomes blurry and I become weak and tired. I do have high blood pressure as does my mother and brother. I don't suffer from migraines or any neurological disorders. This has been going on now for almost a month and only has become worse. Please let me know what I should do or what is wrong

Hello!

Thank you for asking on HCM!

I understand your concern and would explain that your symptoms may be related to inflammation or temporal arteritis.

I recommend consulting with your family doctor for a careful physical exam and some blood lab tests:

-complete blood count
-sedimentation rate and PCR
-thyroid hormone levels
-blood electrolytes.

A brain MRI scan would be necessary to exclude a possible brain lesion related to this clinical situation.

Hope you will find this answer helpful!
Best wishes,
Dr. Aida
