Hi,

Thanks for your question.

After going through your question, I would like to advise you -
- Consultant neurophysician for detailed neurological evaluation, as numbness on half side of body may denote possibility of stroke.
- Depending upon clinical examinations there may be need for
Blood tests like complete haemogram, kidney and liver function test, thyroid function test, serum Vitamin B12,Vitamin D.
Brain imaging like MRI brain with angiography.

So don't neglect these symptoms.

Hope this helps you, if so do vote helpful.
