What Causes Dizziness, Headache And Tingling Sensation On The Left Side Of The Body?

Have had 4 episodes of lightheadedness and a sort of foggy sensation over the course of a year. Seem to have problems when walking, cannot walk the 5 miles I am accustomed to. Also, I sometimes have a bit of tingling , mostly on left side of body. Have been having headaches above left eye and that side of head. I have just completed all cardiac testing due to abnormal ekg. All fine. Looking to where to turn next. I am a 65 yo female. Also, all bloodworm was normal

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

I would explain that your symptoms could be related to possible TIA (transient ischemic attacks).

For this reason, I would recommend performing a Doppler ultrasound of the carotid arteries and a brain MRI.

If you have not performed a Holter monitoring, I would recommend performing it in order to investigate for possible cardiac arrhythmia.

It is also important to closely monitor your blood pressure values.

You should discuss with your doctor on the above tests.

Hope to have been helpful!

Wishing good health,

Dr. Iliri
