Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
hello, i have experienced 3 times in the past month where half of my body (left leg, arm, and part of face) has seemed to fall asleep despite being in an upright position. What could this mean? i do moderate exercise, and it seems to only happen in a certain time period.
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
In my opinion you shouldn't ignore these episodes because they might be related to transient ischemic attacks. I recommend you to consult a neurologist, to exclude this diagnosis.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
