What Causes Numbness And Tingling Sensation In Face And Hands With Impaired Speech?

hello from Dubai,I have been working really long and stressful hours between 9 and 14 a day. I haven t been sleep over 5h for the past few days. Suddenly last night right after work my face started tingling and feeling numb, my arms felt weak and I started feeling tingling sensations in my hands more focused on the left side. I could move both my arms but I started to feel less control. My thoughts and my speech were a little impaired and I experienced difficulty expressing myself. Kind of slow and delayed responsiveness. On my way to the hospital I could feel my legs getting weaker and I had less than usual control over my coordination and movement. The doctors there treated me and told me that I was having a panic attack. They gave a zanex to calm down But what I don t understand is that my heart wasn t racing. I was not feeling panicky or sweaty. Just slight loss of control numbness tingliness and impaired speech. I only went to the hospital with the belief that I was having a stroke. Is this diagnoses even correct!?I am Female 20 years old no previous illnesses or medical history My mother has hypertension My father has type 2 diabetes and high blood pressure

i just went through your explanation. here it looks like a minor attack of stroke, but good thing is you have got treatment on time, understand the cause of stroke it could be less sleep as well too much of stress level too, due to which the blood pressure will start fluctuating. and in that case this kind of symptoms are common,
i suggest you not to think much on what the doctor diagnose or what the treatment he has given, focus on what to do now in future to stay healthy, i always suggest people to follow four things to stay healthy.
1. good nutrition 2. proper sleep 3. regular exercise 4. positive mental attitude.

and the kind of symptoms what you have mention is treatable with time and some specific guideline so don't worry and let me know if any thing further i can guide. hope this was useful for you. take care.....
