Hello doctor,

I am a 33-year-old male suffering from weak nerves and tickling sensations in the left side of the head, hand, and leg. My head feels heavy, and I also suffer from migraine and muscle weakness. I have a dust allergy and knee pain, also. My main problem is that the left side of my body feels weak compared to the right side. Kindly suggest.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Your symptoms could be related to an allergic reaction or a metabolic disorder. But the fact that you feel weakness in the left side of the body could be related to a brain lesion or malformation. For this reason, I recommend performing a brain MRI (magnetic resonance imaging). Other tests to consider would be a complete blood count for anemia, thyroid hormone levels for thyroid gland dysfunction, and vitamin D levels for possible deficiency. You should discuss with your doctor on the above tests.

Thank you.
