Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Thank you. I saw a local walk in physician this AM I have been having numbness in my left side including a bit in the ear and side of the head and particularly along the side of my stomach, my buttocks and a bit in arm and hand. No pain, no loss of mobility, etc. Physical exam was negative as were stomach xray and blood/urine tests. next step neurologist. However I take pravastatin and I wonder if this could be a reaction to the statin? I have had muscle weakness and stiffness before with other statins and my former doctor would simply change the statin after having me stop all statins for a period of time. Thanks. PS I am a 65 year old male with diabetes and blood pressure issues- ht: 5'8 wgt: 209 lbs smoker 35+ yrs thanks again
