Read your query. That is a very significant question and i appreciate your problem. I will try my best to answer your query

I would like to know the previous medical issues.

It sounds to me that we are talking about a possible stroke.
A stroke usually occurs during bedtime and may present with vertigo.
The numbness may in fact be due to the same problem

I would suggest an MRI brain, along with MR angiography.
And there after a regular aspirin may be advisable.

I hope this helps you. Inform the reports mentioned above so i can be of help further. Best of luck.
