my 25 year old daughter is experiencing shortness of breath numbness in her extremities, clammy hands ,dizziness,and difficulty swallowing, she had what was thought to be a very mild stroke 2-3 years ago, could this be the same or spider bite or what else?
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. In my opinion you should consult doctor immediately. As all these symptoms can be due to re stroke. As swallowing difficult, numbness in extremities, breathing difficulties can be seen in stroke. So you may need MRI to confirm it. If MRI is normal than we have to rule out cardiac and pulmonary causes. So get done ECG and 2 D Echo to rule out cardiac causes. Get done chest x-ray and Pulmonary Function Test (PFT) to rule out lung disease. If all these are normal than anemia and thyroid diseases need to rule out. So consult doctor and discuss all these.
