Nerological disorders and agent orange.

[Learner29]

I believe I may have a neurological issue I sometimes feel very almost numb or just not normal or healthy at all. I was also wondering about the effects of a controversial compound that my father was heavily exposed to during the vietnam war called agent orange could negative affects of this chemical be handed down genetically?

Ok thanks I am just waiting until I have insurance to be able to see a doctor. Some of the symptoms are that I am always really shaky and some others that are hard to explain.

Hi,
How are you? What other symptoms are present? To rule out neurological issues, complete neurological examination and additional diagnostic tests may need to be done. There have been links of cancer and agent orange but there is no conclusive evidence that there are genetic issues also involved. If the symptoms that you mentioned persist, it is best that you have this checked by your doctor for proper evaluation. Take care and do keep us posted.
