What Causes Loss Of Mobility In Arms And Legs After Suffering From High BP?
My father (65) suffers from high blood pressure, last Friday he lost mobility of his left arm and leg. He was taken to the ER on Sat. They have conducted some studies on him but they have not given a diagnosis; however, a doctor mentioned that it "could" be cancer. Is she right?

Hi There
Having a uncontrolled high blood pressure can further lead to stroke wchich can cause loss of mobility in your fathers left arm and leg. I would like to advice you to consult a NEUROLOGIST for an opinion.
My provisional diagnosis would have been a Stroke. Cancer and high blood pressure does not co relate here to point towards loss of mobility in limbs.
I Wish Him Good Health
