What causes feeling of restlessness and lightheadedness along with numb toe?
Patient: For the past few days I have been feeling restless and mildly depressed. Before that I have had numb toes (right foot) and still have a cough from a cold I had a few weeks ago. In the past two days I ve been feeling light headed and as if I weigh an immense amount less than usual when I weigh the same. I am eating healthy but I am a smoker. Female, 19. Doctor: Hello!Welcome and thank you for asking on HCM!Regarding your concern, I would explain that your symptoms could be related to inflammation or chronic anemia. That is why, I would recommend consulting with your attending physician for a careful physical exam and some tests: - complete blood count for anemia- kidney and liver function tests- blood electrolytes for possible imbalance- fasting glucose- PCR, ESR for inflammation. I would also advice checking your blood pressure. Low blood pressure could be the cause of your troubles. Meanwhile, it is important to have some rest for a couple of days and take plenty of water to stay hydrated. Hope to have been helpful!Kind regards, Dr. Aida
