What Causes Numb Feet And Feeling Of Hanging Upside Down?

Hubby, age 82, has had numb feet and a feeling in his head for the past 15 years as if he has been hanging upside down. He has poor concentration and very bad short term memory. Had all the scans, MRI's, X-Rays, etc. known to medical science. Has been treated for Meniere's, anxiety disorder, depression, seen a neurologist, and is being retested for lead and arsenic poisoning, since the first test was negative. Labs do make mistakes, so we are retesting. He's had lots of exposure to lead all his life.
Meds are Losartan twice daily, low doses of aspirin, simvastatin, and toprol once daily. No other health problems, since BP and cholesterol are under control. Stands 6'2", weighs about 230 with a huge bone structure.
If anyone has any suggestions, we are very anxious to hear them.
