What Causes Fatigue, Abdominal Pain, Dizziness, Dry Heaves And Numbness In Right Leg?
Question: My friend, male, 81 years old, has multiple symptoms including tiredness, sudden abdominal pain often accompanied by dizziness, and occasionally by dry heaves. Yesterday, all of these symptoms were preceded by numbness in his right leg. What are some possible causes?
Brief Answer:
Ischemia
Detailed Answer:
Thank you for contacting HCM with your health care concerns
I am sorry to hear about your friend and his problem with abd cramps retching and now with right leg numbness. This sounds like you friend has a problem with the circulation. This could be due to cholesterol plaques in the walls of the intestines or in the aorta. I would recommend that he see a GI or a vascular specialist to have them perform vascular studies. At this point I would not recommend any therapy as the therapy could interfere with the testing or make him worse.
