[|AI|]  Hi, welcome to our site. I am Chat Doctor, MD. Read your query. That is a very significant question and I appreciate your problem. I will try my best to answer your Quertle symptoms are very much suggestive of a stroke. The stroke comes on suddenly with symptoms that are one-sided- like in your case. Usually people expect to have loss of power. But there are variants of stroke where there are only sensory symptoms-like in you. Alternatively, these may just be the initial symptoms. I would suggest getting an MRI or CT scan done as soon as possible. If it's an ischemic stroke, you will need antiplatelet and statins like esprit and atorvastatin and rosuvastatin. Eventually physiotherapy may be needed also. I hope this helps you. Inform the reports mentioned above/if any other, so I can be of help further. I have given you the answer to the maximum considering the information provided. The results of the tests could further enhance my answer to you. You can upload them on the site. You can upload them with the query, or if you have a problem, send them to attachments@ChatDoctor .com with Sub: ATTN Your Name.
