What Does Numbness In The Extremities Indicate?

My son, 32, started having numbness in his extremities, cold hands, purple at times, very fatigued, faint upon standing, even when doing dishes at sink, shaking, heart racing aching legs, hard to stand a long time, really tired, checked his blood pressure was 170/90 went to hospital, blood test, checked heart, low vit. D anxiety attack.....taking vit.D anxiety meds. About 5 days condition not changed, more fatigued, aches and back pain. More test, Swab up nose for flu and mri. Can t find anything wrong! Stretched his legs out on floor this evening pain and numbing got worse! He is so scared doctors can t find anything and he knows something is wrong inside he says. He had surgery on his heart 5 years ago for a valve on top sticking, it was burned to fix it. But all the test they ran in last 2 weeks came back fine.

Hello,

It can be medical emergency due to vascular infarction of the leg arterial so you need to get Doppler ultrasound done and immediately limb saving surgery to be done by vascular surgeon.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
