Suggest Treatment For High BP, Headaches, Neck Pain And Increased Heart Rate
I am a 29 year old female when I was 19 I lost my entire right arm. The past 2-3 years I ve had a major increase in my blood pressure & heart rate, my vision has become increasingly worse. I now wear glasses & my vision is worse in my right eye. I now have horrible headaches nearly everyday to the point my vision becomes blurry. I have horrible neck pain to where it feels like the muscles in my face are constantly being pulled. Depending on what position I m lying in my nose can become completely blocked, the back of my head can go numb. My left arm goes numb & recently my entire right leg has been going numb. I m in physical therapy & had neck xray taken which came back normal but I ve got a large knot on left side of neck & few smaller knots in my muscles on the right side. At times I feel like I m not able to take in a big breath or when my muscles seem the tighest it feels hard to swallow & like my ear will close shut. My balance is horrible I probably fall at least once a week. These are just a few of the odd symptoms I ve been having what are your thoughts on these.
Keeping in mind previous history of limb amputation with high BP, one has to evaluate underlying microvascular thrombosis in the brain giving various region symptomatic presentation.
Kindly discuss the need for EKG and brain MRI with your doc when you visit next time for the scheduled appointment.
