Can Paint Fume Inhalation Causes Numbness Of Lower And Upper Extremities?
parts of the right side of my body are numb and there was tingling but that went away after two days. I ve seen a neurologist and they say my brain is fine so its not a stroke, and the numbness seems to be worse in my lower leg/foot and my arm/hand and a bit in my neck and face. The only thing i can think that i might have done to cause this is that either a few hours or the day before the tingling/numbness started i was spray painting . Could the paint fume inhilation have caused it? and if so how long will it take to go away? and what kind of doctor should i see about it?
Hello, Welcome to the magical world of health care, I went through your query, and you have consulted the right person already, its unlikely that fumes can cause unilateral symptoms, so do not blame that. An advise is to stay vigilant and get your BP checked, and if it does not settle in a few days time re visit the neurologist. I hope my advice would have been useful, in decision making regarding your treatment, still if you have any clarifications or doubts feel free to contact back. Thanks.
