I am a 31 year old female. For the past 2 years, I have experienced stroke like symptoms, numbness on one side of my body from my arm down to my leg, slurred speech, difficulty talking, thinking, and understanding words. I had problems moving my arms and walking. I literally had to think and figure out how to do simple tasks such as chewing and moving my limbs. I went to the ER and MRI and CT scans were normal. I did not have a stroke or TIA. Another time I went to the ER they admitted me and did a MRI with contrast and that showed normal as well. I went to a neuro and they prescribed Vitamin D. I went to a cardio and heart looks normal. I also have frequent migraines and have high blood pressure. I just experienced another episode (my 6th one) a few weeks ago. What could this be?
Hello, Since the MRIs resulted to be normal, a number of serious condition that may cause your symptoms are excluded. Migraine variants may be an explanation. Multiple sclerosis also should be kept in mind and if your Neurologist doesn't think that your symptoms are linked to migraine, further evaluation (spinal tap for example) is necessary. Hope you found the answer helpful. Let me know if I can assist you further.
