Three weeks ago while at work I had a sudden pain up the left side of my neck and my tongue/throat seemed to be paralysed for a few seconds. My left hand went numb. I was alarmed enough to go to hospital and they said I may have had a mini stroke but then on discharge they said it was most unlikely as I am only 41, fit-ish and don't smoke etc etc.....
There were no neurological indicators of any problem, although they didn't do a head scan. Blood pressure etc all fine.
I am, admittedly, a very anxious person.
Since then I have had, on and off, massive pressure in my head (like someone is pressing down really hard on me most of the time), stabblng pains in ear and eye, random pains in shoulder, numbness iand pain in both arms, slight twitches in parts of my body and repeated constrictions of the throat, where I feel it is hard to swallow and that my tongue isn't working properly.
I feel spaced out and fuzzy, like I am not functioning properly, and have to think harder to do simple things like type a letter.
I feel like my vision is distorted, too, but had an eye test yesterday and he couldn't see anything wrong.
My GP has referred me back to hospital but I face a fairly lengthy wait and I am worried sick, which isn't helping!
Would an eye test have showed up a tumour or anything, or could it be something this serious? Any advice appreciated.
