Thanks for consulting the Physicians at HealthCare Magic. I have worked through your case thoroughly, and I can easily realize your health worries. Being your physician, I reassure you not to worry as things will settle down very soon.

You didn't tell what came back in CT head. Does she had stroke or any neurological issue, the CT must have answered the same. I don't know her Blood pressure levels and blood sugar levels which may be the potential problem makers of slurring speech, due to brain damage.

She needs to be assessed on the basis of the CT scan and MRI. Sometimes only the compression symptoms also cause the same. And she is having twins, so she may be having hand and arm symptoms due to compression on nerves or arteries (though less likely in upper extremities. It is more common in legs).

Also consult her Obstetrician for evaluation. Is she taking her prenatal visits????

May you get very well soon and have a wonderful time ahead. Please don't forget to give your valuable feedback to help us assist you in a better way.



Regards!
