What Causes Chest Pains And Numbness In Leg,arms And Face?
Hello Dr. On the 21may of this year i had some heart palpitations. I was admited in the hospital for a week. Bcoz i had vomited a worm earlier the Dr treated me for bilhazia.wen went for a heart echo dey said i have premature heart contractions. I did another which said one of my mitral valves was fibrotic. The problem I have now is that my left leg feels numb wen I walk and my left hand at times is week.I have chest pains and left side of my face gets a bit numb. I was put on aternolol.

Hello!
Thank you for asking on HCM!
I carefully passed through your question and would explain that your symptoms seem to be related to possible stroke or episodes of transient ischemic attacks (TIA).
I recommend going to the ER for a careful physical exam and a brain CT scan to exclude this possibility.
A Doppler ultrasound of the neck vessels would be necessary to examine the blood flow to the brain and exclude possible vessel narrowing.
Hope to have been helpful!
Best wishes,
Dr. Iliri
