What Causes Numbness In Left Side Of The Body And Loss Of Balance?

My roommate is having numbness in his left face and it is traveling down to his left side. The numbness is traveling to the center of his chest. He is having bad balance and having upset stomach the past several days? Could you tell me what could cause this and what he should do?

Hello,

Regarding your concern and would recommend going to the ER for a physical exam and a brain CT scan. I don't think that the face numbness is related to the stomach, but it could indicate a possible stroke.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care
