What Causes Numbness After Asthma Attack?
I had a bad asthma attack over the weekend and afterward i have had numbness on the entire left side of my body and both of my arms which is getting worse. I have also felt like i was going to pass out and today i have not been able to stay awake. What could be wrong

Hi,
Numbness after asthamatic attack is due to lack of oxygen supply to that particular tissue or organ which is due to low CO2-O2 gaseous exchange in pulmonary alveoli due to constriction of bronchi and bronchioles.
It will subside with the asthma symptoms and your numbness will get settled down as oxygenation restored.
Thanks
