Question: Iam 57 yars old.
I had some physical sensations that I feel to be abnormal.Recently, there was vibrations/muscle contraction at the left side of my lips,
My left hand was felt weak and shivering frequently,
Recently I woke up in the midst of my sleep. My left hand was motionless. I took the left hand using my right hand which felt to be lifeless having no sensation. Irubbed the palms with the palms of my right hand. A fter some time, my left hand became normal.
Moreover, I am suffering from reddishness of my left eye for the last many months and under medical care. I am applying medicines but when a dosage is missed, the reddishness returns.

Brief Answer:
you need immediate medical attention..
Detailed Answer:
Hello xxxxxxxxxxxx, Welcome to HCM,
I've gone through your query and understand your concern,
Your symptoms do sound significant, and need immediate medical attention for thorough work-ups (starting from a thorough clinical check-up of neurological, cardiovascular systems followed by some prompt investigations i.e. Hemogram, Electrolytes, a CAT-scan and/ MRI of the brain and 12 lead ECG in the first place)..
Please call for help, don't try to drive on your own , and just go to your nearest ER/ Urgent care for a quick evaluation..
Those symptoms could be due to bell's palsy / a TIA or XXXXXXX stroke/ muscle spasms/ sudden hampered blood supply to those particular region (may be due to a temporary clot/ arterial spasms, detailed examination and investigation necessary to determine exactly)..
The reddishness of the eye can be due to allergic manifestations/ bacterial/viral infection/ dry eye etc. (though not appearing significant enough to affect to such extent)..
Please don't delay anymore and get yourself checked out at the earliest..
Let me know how you stay in the due course, please don't panic but do these necessary things in the first place..
Take Care
Kind Regards
