What Causes Slurring Of Speech With Numbness At The Side Of Mouth?
My wife suffered numbness in her hand and then lower arm two days ago. This happened intermittently but seem to only happen every now and then. She put it down to a trapped nerve from reading Kindle in an arkward position. Today she seemsto have difficulty with her speech and some numbness on left side of mouth. I am concerned.

Hello,
Concerns should include a stroke, blood clot, heart condition or a neurologic condition such as Bell's Palsey. A complete review of her medical history and blood panel is recommended. Additional tests and specialist referral may then be considered. Please seek care. These symptoms can worsen. I do not recommend a delay in a thorough evaluation.
