HI.. Symptoms can be stress related.. However a unilateral body symptoms may have to be evaluated.. Evaluation is mainly done to see if the symptoms are associated with stroke or demyelinating disorders.. I guess discussing with a doctor in detail about your symptoms will help in getting more info.. If interested you can get a second opinion from a specialist neurologist who is available for providing his opinion through phone call or Email through this website or any other website..

hi. Welcome to hcm
whole body pain on left has only two causes. Either problem in brain or psychological. Kindly mention your age and any hypertension or blood pressure.
