A member asked:

Have had face locking up & going numb. weakness of arms and legs. also had my heart beat slowing (new symptom) any idea what this is?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Serious: Those are potentially very serious symptoms. Low serum calcium, multiple sclerosis, tetanus and rabies could do this. Hopefully you don't have anything so serious. I think you really ought to see your doctor or go to an ER for evaluation today. Good luck.
