I've been having a cold and cough along with a mild fever in the evenings for a few days now. But whats really worrying me is this weakness in my legs and hands. There's no pain, just this weird weakness. It's making it hard for me to walk these past couple of days, and my hands are feeling kind of stiff. Plus, there's this tingling sensation in my hands and legs. Im not really sure what's going on or what I should do about it. Can you help me figure this out?

your symptoms could be related to a variety of conditions, ranging from a post-viral recovery phase to more serious nerve issues or an infection-related complication like Guillain-Barr Syndrome. It's important to see a doctor immediately for a thorough examination and appropriate tests. Please dont wait for the symptoms to get worse. Early diagnosis and treatment can help prevent further complications.

I'm really concerned about this numbness and tingling I feel on my left side sometimes. It's strange because I don't have high blood pressure or diabetes, though I do struggle with indigestion and I suspect some gas issues. My heartbeat and ECG are normal, and there's no history of heart problems in my family. I'm trying to figure out why these sensations happen. Should I see a cardiologist, or is there another specialist you recommend? This has got me feeling pretty nervous and unsure about what to do.
Based on your symptoms, it is possible that the numbness and tingling pain on the left side could be related to nerve compression or irritation. Since you mentioned that your heart beat and ECG are normal, it is less likely to be related to a cardiac issue. The indigestion and gas problems may also contribute to these symptoms due to referred pain. I recommend consulting a Neurologist for a detailed evaluation and further management. They can conduct specific tests to determine the exact cause of your symptoms and provide appropriate treatment. For your indigestion and gas issues, you can take over-the-counter antacids like "Ranitidine" 150mg twice daily before meals to help with the symptoms. Additionally, you can try simethicone-based medications like "Gas-X" to relieve gas discomfort. Make sure to follow up with a Neurologist for a comprehensive assessment.
