I'm not sure what's going on, but I've been having these weird internal vibrations, mostly in my legs. It's almost like there's electricity running through them. I took PPIs for about 46 days, but they didn't help at all. I'm also noticing my muscle mass is just wasting away; my legs, chest, stomach, hands, everything feels soft and kinda loose. I can literally pull at the skin. Besides the vibrations, I'm dealing with weakness, some vision loss, numbness, and difficulty breathing, especially when I'm reading or working. With the lockdowns happening, it's been tough to get help. Can you please help me figure out what this might be and suggest any medications or treatments?

Possible Causes:

Vitamin deficiencies: Lack of vitamins like B12, magnesium, or potassium can cause muscle weakness, numbness, and internal vibrations.

Neurological issues: Conditions like peripheral neuropathy, multiple sclerosis, or Parkinson's disease can cause muscle weakness, numbness, and vibrations.

Hormonal imbalances: Thyroid disorders, adrenal insufficiency, or hormonal changes can cause muscle weakness, fatigue, and other symptoms.

Medication side effects: Certain medications, such as those used to treat depression, anxiety, or high blood pressure, can cause muscle weakness, numbness, and vibrations.

General Advice:

Consult a doctor: Schedule an appointment with your primary care physician or a specialist (e.g., neurologist, endocrinologist) to discuss your symptoms.

Blood tests: Get blood tests to check for vitamin deficiencies, hormonal imbalances, and other potential underlying conditions.

Neurological examination: A doctor may perform a neurological examination to assess your muscle strength, reflexes, and sensation.

I'm really concerned because my hands seem to shake a lot, especially when I raise them or even when I'm just trying to drink some water. Could this be a sign of weakness or is there something else going on? What should I do about it?

Shaking hands (tremors) can be due to various causes, including weakness, stress, or even essential tremors. It's best to see a doctor to rule out issues like vitamin deficiencies, thyroid problems, or neurological conditions. Don't worry; many causes are treatable!

How long does a stroke last?

Stroke symptoms typically last more than 24 hours, and may or may not resolve, even with therapy. Some stroke symptoms may never resolve or get better. Symptoms can begin to resolve in about 1 to 5 minutes, which is typical, but some may take about 24 hours to resolve.

I'm really worried because the right side is paralyzed, and we found out there's a clot in the left part of the brain from an MRI. They mentioned there's a blocked artery to the left brain. Could you explain what this means and what steps we should take next? Is there a way to improve the situation, and how serious is this condition?

The MRI shows a clot in the left side of the brain, which is affecting the right side of the body, causing paralysis. Additionally, one of the arteries supplying blood to the left brain is blocked, which could be contributing to the condition.
