Hi,I am Dr. Andrew Rynne (Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I'm 63. I have been taking the same med for years. Stress is an everyday thing but not excessive. I have gained 60lbs in a little over a year. I have noticed in the last few weeks I have been transporting letters and numbers. Not only do I do this when I write but when I repeat a word that was spelled to me verbally. What could be the casuses(s)?
