Does High BP Cause Numbness,burning And Pain In Leg?
I have been diagnosed with high Blood Pressure and I am obese. I do take medicine for the BP. I started having numbness in my left leg 5 weeks ago. The numbness comes and goes. But sometimes the numbness feels like a burning sensation and is painful. My leg itches all the time. Could this be from the high blood pressure?

Hi,
The problem of getting numbness in one side of leg and being obese along with altered sensation (burning) with this limited history the possibility of nerve compression at spinal cord level needs to be ruled out.
Can't say if it helped you in any way. Anyways do let us know still.
