Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. In my opinion you should consult neurophysician and get done1. Clinical examination of central nervous system.2. MRI brain. You are having the following risk factors for stroke.1. Light-headed less.2. Positive Family history of stroke 3. One-sided weakness in the body. So consult neurophysician first and rule out stroke. In stroke management, early diagnosis and treatment is the key in recovery. So first rule out stroke for your symptoms.
