What Causes Severe Body Pain With Numbness?

My mom gets these scary attacks suddenly and nobody seems to know what they are or the cause. It starts with a pain in the upper arm/shoulder and goes down her arm. Then she gets a sudden severe weakness on her right side of the body (mostly her limbs). She can barely move her right side and she begins to pretty much drag her leg and the rest of her right side. She pretty much collapses and goes to bed to sleep when that happens. When she wakes up the next day, she is better and it’s as if nothing ever happened. What could this be?

Hello,

Your mother probably suffering from:
1. Panic attacks or
2. Seizure disorder followed by Todd's palsy
3. Hypokalemia with paralysis or
4. Meningitis etc.

Until proper examination is done it is difficult to say what is the problem. So please take her to neurophysician he will examine and treat her accordingly.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
