Arora's Assessment
What might be happening
Based on the information you've provided, there are several possible conditions that could be causing your symptoms:
-
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. The weakness in your right arm and the tremors you've been experiencing could be related to this condition.
- There is no cure for Parkinson's disease, but medications can significantly improve your symptoms.
-
Dry Eye Syndrome: This condition occurs when your tears aren't able to provide adequate lubrication for your eyes. This could explain the discomfort and blurriness in your left eye. Dry eyes can occur when you're unable to produce enough tears or if you produce poor-quality tears.
- Treatment for dry eye syndrome usually involves a series of approaches, including lifestyle changes and eyedrops.
-
Burning Mouth Syndrome: This is a condition that can cause a burning sensation in your mouth or on your tongue. It can be related to a variety of conditions, including damage to nerves that control pain and taste, hormonal imbalances, or dry mouth.
- Treatment for burning mouth syndrome depends on the underlying cause, if identifiable.
-
Trigger Finger: This condition, also known as stenosing tenosynovitis, occurs when inflammation narrows the space within the sheath that surrounds the tendon in the affected finger. This could explain why your fingers, particularly your thumb, sometimes lock in place.
- Treatment of trigger finger varies depending on the severity and duration of the condition, but can include medications, therapy, and sometimes surgery.
What you can do
You should consult a healthcare provider about your symptoms. They can provide a formal assessment and order relevant tests if necessary.
What you should look out for
Reasons to seek immediate medical attention:
- If your symptoms worsen or if you develop new symptoms
- If you experience severe headaches, sudden vision loss, or sudden weakness or numbness on one side of your body
