coldness and twitching on left side of body

[pattianne48]

My daughter who is 25 has coldness and twitches on her left side of her body from her face, tounge, chest stomach all the way down to her toes. It has been going on for about 2 weeks. It seems to be getting worse. She has no health insurance and doesn't know if she should go to the doctor or where to go. She has a crown on the left side that she feels her heartbeat in. Could that cause all this? What could cause these symptoms. She just finished her vacines for prevention of cervical cancer and heard that girls where getting paralyzed and other symptom like this. Have you heard of that?

Hi,

Another cause that needs to be ruled out is pinched nerves which can cause muscle twitches and fascuculations.
Please get her evaluated by a neurologist to rule out other serious conditions like ALS and upper motor neuron problems in the brain and spinal cord.

Why would all these symptoms be only on the left side of her body?

Hi,

How are you?
Cervical cancer vaccine is known to cause side effects like pain at the injection site, dizziness and fainting.
These symptoms do not seem to be due to the vaccine.
These symptoms can be due to fatigue, anxiety, stress, electrolyte insufficiency, neuralgias and hormonal imbalance.
I would suggest you to make sure that her fluid intake and intake of electrolytes like sodium and potassium is maintained. If the symptoms do not improve please consult a physician. Take care!
