Sign of paralysis?
Question
I noted my face is not symmetrical anymore, even my smile goes to left side. I’m feeling some pain in left arm from recent. Is this a sign of physical paralysis? What kind of doctor I should see? Im 45 years, have diabetes and high cholesterol (controlled with drugs – not severe conditions)

Hello,
I am sorry for the problems you are facing.
I suggest to consult with cardiologist as soon as possible. I suspect possible TIA (cerebrovascular accident).
Neurologist should be also get consulted further.
You need various tests including:
– a complete cardiac check up: EKG, echocardiogram, Stress test
– brain MRI
– complete blood tests
Hope this helps.
