Arora's Assessment
What might be happening
Based on the information you've provided, possible conditions include:
-
Peripheral Neuropathy: This condition results from damage to the peripheral nerves, which often leads to weakness, numbness, and pain, usually in your hands and feet. It can also cause dizziness and changes in vision.
- Treatment typically involves managing the symptoms and preventing further damage. This might include medication, physical therapy, or addressing underlying conditions that might be causing the neuropathy.
-
Multiple Sclerosis (MS): This is a potentially disabling disease of the brain and spinal cord (central nervous system). Symptoms can include fatigue, difficulty walking, numbness or tingling, muscle weakness, dizziness, and problems with coordination and balance.
- Treatment for MS is aimed at speeding recovery from attacks, slowing the progression of the disease, and managing symptoms.
-
Vitamin B12 Deficiency: This can cause a wide range of symptoms, including fatigue, weakness, numbness or tingling in the hands and feet, dizziness, and vision problems.
- Treatment typically involves supplementation with vitamin B12.
Please note that these are only possibilities and not a definitive diagnosis. It's important to consult with a healthcare professional who can evaluate your symptoms and medical history more thoroughly.
What you can do
- Schedule an appointment with your healthcare provider as soon as possible to discuss your symptoms. They may want to perform some tests to help determine the cause of your symptoms.
- Try to maintain a balanced diet and stay hydrated. This can help manage some of your symptoms and improve your overall health.
- Try to get regular exercise, but be careful not to overexert yourself. Exercise can help improve your symptoms and overall health, but it's important to listen to your body and rest when needed.

Seek immediate medical attention if:
- Your symptoms worsen or you develop new symptoms
- You experience severe pain
- You have difficulty walking or moving
- You experience a sudden loss of vision or double vision
- You experience confusion, difficulty speaking, or difficulty understanding speech
