Hi there.
The normal MRI rules out a stroke.
Do you think he may be suffering from anxiety?

Yes, It could be anxiety, but the symptons of numbness and pain were so severe that he was in complete colapse and I had to call 911 at his request I may add. The orders from the hospital was to make an appointment with a neurologist for further test. Do you think he needs this or a phychologist that can prescribe anxiety meds and also-- how long do these meds take before he will feel better? Our primary care doctor has been aware of his symptons, but has not been agressive in his care ofmy husband.

I was giving a reply to your question when I was cut off. I will try to shorten my answer. No history of Phys. and only other medical in stint in heart 6 years ago. No smoking- quit about 10 years ago. Was given 6 weeks of PT a year ago when balance was first noticed. Soon after he became light headed and dizzy constantly-some days betterthan others.His meds are Norvasc 2mg---Xanax 0.25 mg.--2 @day---and Ambien 10mg. He has been dispondent, talk of suicide, wanting answers to his dizzyness and other symptoms when none were given that made since to him. Your answer to me that it was anxiety makes since. Hospital release requests that he see a nurologist or do you think a Physchiatrist that could prescribe the right meds for this and also convince him that it takes time to feel better and I hope will take care of his dizzyness.
