My son is 14 yrs old... Lately he has been complaining of tingling numbness in his head, and more recently of dull pain and numbness in his chest... He ll just stop and say, it feels like my chest is asleep.... I mostly just have him lay down and rest...but it is becoming more frequent... What could be the cause?
Hi... Thank you for consulting in Chat Doctor. The symptoms you quote do not fit into any known clinical disorder where in all the above symptoms can be fit in. Keeping in mind the age and gender of the kid, I feel you should consider conversion reaction like symptoms. But I reiterate the fact that this is a diagnosis of exclusion after ruling out all other physical diagnoses. I am considering this diagnosis as the symptoms you quote do not fit perfectly into any known clinical syn Chat Doctor.  I suggest you see your pediatrician. Hope my answer was helpful for you.  I am happy to help any time. Further clarifications and consultations on Chat Doctor are welcome. If you do not have any clarifications, you can close the discussion and rate the answer.
