Problem description: My mother said that her fingers were numb, she did not feel anything when she touched something, her feet were also numb, and her walking was unstable. She said she had difficulty sleeping at night because of problems with her hands and feet, and she only slept for a few hours! And there is a lot of saliva, swallowing saliva frequently! She has done ECG, EEG, and blood sugar and blood pressure in the hospital, and there is no problem! In addition, my mother has a history of suspected mental illness, so I have taken some drugs, and the doctor also said that it was caused by drugs! But watching my mother do this every day, I am worried that there are other reasons! Ask the doctor to tell me what other reasons can cause this! Thank you!
