Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for posting your query on HCM.
I appreciate your concern for your present illness.
I have gone through the problems in your case diligently, I am of the opinion that you have some sort of inflammation of the nerves which is referred to as polyneuritis suspicious of Guillain-Barre syndrome.
The exact cause of Guillain-Barre syndrome is unknown. But it is often preceded by an infectious illness such as a respiratory infection or the stomach flu.
It is a neurological disorder in which body's immune system attacks the nerves. Weakness and tingling in the extremities are usually the first symptoms.
In view of the possibility of the above described condition, you are therefore advised to visit a doctor/neurologist for proper evaluation and may be you need to undergo some relevant investigations like lumbar puncture (spinal tap), electromyography or nerve conduction studies.
Hope the suggestions given above could be helpful in getting the accurate diagnosis and its treatment.
Wishing you good health.
