My sister has battled with CREST disease for many years.  Last fall a port was put in her chest for direct medication.  Its the artery that pumps from the lungs to the heart.  A month ago she has some testing done that showed the port was doing the job effectively.  This past weekend her entire body went numb but she never lost consciousness.  The feelings on the left side of her body came back within the next 24 to 36 hours.  Doctors told her it was similar to "have a stroke".  They also suggested that it could be neurological; thus she will be seeing a neurologist in the next couple of days.  Can you please tell me what I need to expect going forward for end stage of CREST disease?  Thank you for your time.
What is your wives.is she having diabetes also?reasons for this kind of pain could be multiple, depending upon other associated conditions. Still if she experiences this kind of pain multiple times better to get cardiac evaluation done, including an echocardiography and TMT, if these are not panic attacks, which can be ruled out only after proper history. Also you need to check her blood pressure and heart rate whenever she has this blurred vision to rule out high and low blood pressure.
