Arora's Assessment
What might be happening
Based on the information you've provided, here are some possible conditions that could be causing your symptoms:
-
Multiple Sclerosis (MS): This is a disease of the nervous system that can cause problems with muscle control and strength, vision, balance, feeling, and thinking. Your symptoms of blurred vision, shaking hands, poor motor skills, and confusion could be related to this condition.
- Treatment typically involves managing symptoms and slowing the progression of the disease with medication.
-
Parkinson's Disease: This is a progressive nervous system disorder that affects movement. Symptoms start gradually, sometimes starting with a barely noticeable tremor in just one hand. Tremors are common, but the disorder also commonly causes stiffness or slowing of movement.
- Treatment involves medications, physical therapy, and sometimes surgery.
-
Stroke: A stroke occurs when the blood supply to part of your brain is interrupted or reduced, preventing brain tissue from getting oxygen and nutrients. Symptoms can include trouble with speaking and understanding, paralysis or numbness of the face, arm or leg, problems seeing in one or both eyes, and sudden confusion.
- Treatment involves urgent medical care to restore blood flow to the brain and manage symptoms.
Please note that these are just possibilities and not a definitive diagnosis. It's important to consult with a healthcare professional who can evaluate your symptoms and medical history in order to provide a proper diagnosis.
What you can do
Given the seriousness of your symptoms, it's important to seek immediate medical attention. Please go to the emergency department or call for an ambulance.
What you should look out for
Watch out for any worsening of your symptoms, such as:
- Increasing difficulty with speech or understanding
- Increasing difficulty with movement or coordination
- Increasing confusion or disorientation
- Severe headache
- Loss of consciousness
These could be signs of a serious condition like a stroke, which requires immediate medical attention.
