Neurologist,  's  Response
Hi,

Your symptoms could be related to orthostatic intolerance. But, the fact that your symptoms are more pronounced on the right limbs, may be indicative of a possible brain lesion. Epilepsy can not be excluded either.

Coming to this point, I would recommend consulting with a neurologist for a careful neurological exam and some tests:

- a brain CT scan
- a head Up Tilt test
- thyroid hormone levels
- complete blood count for anemia
- blood electrolytes

An EEG is necessary if suspicions of seizures are raised.

Hope to have been helpful. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Wishing all the best,
Dr. Aida
