What Causes Terrible Coughing Spells Along With Numbness In Legs?
I was very sick with the flu and I had terrible coughing spells. During these spells I had 4 seizures that lasted about 5 seconds each. Now I am losing feeling in my right leg. It is tingly and numb and it is getting worse. I had a severe stroke in 2014 which affected my right side. I am very worried. Any advise would be grately appreciated.

Hello welcome to HealthcareMagic
Regarding your symptoms of numbness and tingling sensations on right side of your body with 4 seizures attack this is definitely due to the previous stroke episode it has lead to a cerebral infarction on the left side of your brain
In view of your flu like symptoms followed by cough I am suggesting you have an upper respiratory tract infection likely from allergic reaction or cold
Meanwhile please take
Tablet pyridoxine for the numbness/tingling
Tablet Actifect for flu
Capsules multivitamin
I hope this helps
