Q: What can cause numbness, dry mouth, weakness, pain in arms,

asked by: DoctorQuestion on May 22nd, 2006

I have numbness,dry mouth,weakness,pain in arms, dizziness,and blurry vision in left eye. This all started about 4 months ago. Went to the hospital and dr said it was anxiety. Im still having the problems and i cant work and i only can drink locally and sometimes not even that. I dont know what is going on. I ve never had these issues before. The dr ran a blood test urine test and x ray and all was normal results. Please can u give advice as to what could be wrong. It started with all over numbness and now it comes and goes but im suffering.

You can visit an ophthalmologist to check your eye(s). The syptoms you describe can be caused by anxiety: all other test results were negative. According to your data, the only thing that I notice is that you are too overweight. I recommend you to start with a diet of fresh, organic foods and more physical activity to lose weight. You can consult you GP, a nutritionist, certified personal trainer, or a dietician to help you phase into a healthier lifestyle.
