[|Human|] I am 60 year old woman experiencing numbness, tingling and some cramping in my left arm, hand and fingers for about 4-5 days. Do not have history of heart disease; Mom died from strokes; dad died from cancer. But I have suffered from depression mostmy life. Quit smoking, quit drinking, taking medications (including Xanax for anxiety). My Dr ordered update on blood work but doesn t want to see me until 2 wks from now. Is there anything I can take to relieve this uncomfortable feeling or should I be concerned? Thank you for your time...
[|AI|]  Hello! I read your question and understand your concern. In my opinion the troubles you have may be caused by a small stroke. I think the numbness will persist for some time. I would recommend you to do a brain CT scan to rule out stroke or any other lesion of the brain. In the meantime I would recommend you to take aspirin an atorvastatin. It will help to prevent a second stroke. Thank you for using Chat Doctor! Best wishes
