What Causes Numbness On The Face Along With Dizziness And Headaches?
About a year ago my 28 year old son was driving to work and noticed a whole face numbness. Since then he has had repeated dizziness, headaches, numbness heart racing etc. He has been to so many doctors who have done heart and neurological test. His insurance changed and he is seeing a new internist on Monday. He is not depressed or having anxiety from what he is telling me. His doctors have said that they can t find out why. He was in the ER a month ago because he thought he was having a heart attack. The symptoms are usually worse at night. They did put him on a low dose synthroid last year but his uptake levels are fine when they check him. At this point I am very concerned. He lives in Charlotte, NC. I was wondering if he should be checked for Lyme Disease?

What Causes Numbness On The Face Along With Dizziness And Headaches?
Hello! I passed carefully through your question and would explain that his symptoms seem to be related to anxiety. Anyway, I agree with you on the fact that tests for Lyme disease should be checked before concluding that it is all about anxiety or panic disorder. If these tests result normal, I would recommend consulting with a specialist of the field (psychologist, psychotherapist). Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care Regards, Dr. Ilir Sharka, Cardiologist
