What Causes Lack Of Focus And Numbness In Left Arm And Legs?

I am having some symptoms that I find a little scary. I noticed these symptoms getting worse since I had my son 6 years ago. I have a very difficult time staying focused. I am so forgetful it scares me and lately I find my self lost in the middle of a task or just mess it up. When I wash dishes I drop things from my left hands often. Today I was saying things that werent what I had meant to say. I am clumsy and notice a numb feeling in my left arm and legs, legs especially when i lay down. I was dx with opthalmic headaches years ago and I wonder if this symptom may also be connected?

Hello dear welcome to HealthcareMagic
Regarding your experience with difficulty in concentration loss of memory numbness in both left arm and leg with previous ophthalmic headache I am suggesting that you are gradually developing a cerebrovascular accident (stroke)

In view of this please check your blood pressure and do the following test
CT SCAN
Chest x-ray
ECG
EKG
Complete blood count

Meanwhile please see a neurologist specialist with the result and for expert clinical assessment Councelling and adequate drug prescription

I hope this helps
