    Numbness of the right side of body and trouble seeing
    So, I wasn't sure where to ask this, or if I should just go straight to the doctors.
    While I was at school yesterday, I was sitting down and reached to pick something up and realized my hand was numb. I checked the rest of my body and my right hand, arm, leg, foot and right half of my tongue was numb. My forearm was also a funny purple/pink color. I also was having trouble seeing in my right eye and had a terrible head ache and was very dizzy. My mom wants me to go to the doctor, but I feel fine now. It only was like that for a little while in class, maybe a few minutes (it's hard to tell because it felt like forever).

    Does anyone know what that could be? Was it a weird fluke? :confused:

    (If this was already covered, I apologize, I am terrible with computers).

    Listen to your mom, you may just be starting to have a major problem that could get worse if you wait at least talk to a doc.. MOM is right

    Good luck and take care

    Please have your mom take you to the doctors. Having trouble seeing out of one eye and a headache are not good signs. Just because you feel fine now does not mean that this condition will not come back. Having your arm turn numb is also not good. You could have a blood clot in your brain causing these problems. I don't know. Your doctor will know. You didn't say how old you are or if you have any existing medical problems so it's hard to tell you what is your problem. But whatever your problem turns out to be, please seek medical help now.

    Wow, everyone seems to be saying the same thing. I will definitely be heading to the doctors then. Thanks everyone
