What Causes Sudden Loss Of Strength In Hand With Vision Problem?
hi thanks i am very worried. the other day i woke up and couldnt use my right arm and hand the way i normally do. i found i couldnt grip things with my normal strength and have trouble doing normal things like doing buttons up etc. i did ask my pharmacist what the symptoms might be and he asked about my vision to which i answered it was fine. however when i got home i realised that the past few weeks i have started having episodes where it feels like my eyes are not focusing together and the room is hard to focus properly. i have also had minor bouts of nausea and some quite minor headaches to which i had taken aspirin for and had put it down to a toothache . i am scheduled to work today and am wondering wether i should go to the hospital _ it is sunday here and my doctors is shut, or if i should be okay to wait until tomorrow. thankyou very much am waiting on your answer. Emz. oh, i am a 35 year old woman , i dont smoke but did heavily in the past (2 years off smokes) and i dont drink or do drugs, . i did heavily in the past however.
You should definitely go to a hospital and get it checked as what you are experiencing could be symptoms of stroke. History of smoking and drug abuse in the past can be a strong factor. I urge you to seek immediate medical attention and at least get basic labs done. Better safe than sorry.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards, Dr. Samuel Parmar
