Problems With Eyesight, Balance, Tingling Feeling In Back. Had Problems With Nerves As A Child. Drinks And Smokes. Opinion?
I have had problems with my nerves as a child and woke up one morning with half a paralyzed face because of it. That has gone away but as I get older my balance and eye sight are getting worse plus my back feels like it's constantly asleep and aches , tingly feeling in my middle back. I drink and smoke and take energy pills but nothing drastic. Do you think I have health problems? I eat fairly healthy and excercise more than most.

hi dear
thanks for choosing HCM
you have mentioned you had 7th cranial nerve palsy which menifests as face paralysis
some pathologies which affect one nerve of brain may affect other parts of brain as well.which may show up as backache ,tingling,imbalance or changes in eye.
you must get an MRI brain and spine
and consult a neurologist
good luck
