Concussions are can be serious depending on the area which is affected. Nonetheless, every concussion must be evaluated by a health-care professional and that person needs to rest for few days to recover.

I'm really concerned because for the past few days, my index finger on the left hand has been twitching a lot. It doesn't hurt, but it used to happen only occasionally and now it's happening all the time. I work with computers all day, but this twitching occurs even when I'm not using the laptop, like when I'm just resting. My other fingers are totally fine. When I saw a doctor, they mentioned it might be due to computer use or a vitamin deficiency. I'm just wondering, could there be any other reason for this? Is there any medication I could take to help with the twitching?

each organ of the body can withstand some amount of stress , if strain for muscle exceeds its capacity muscle become fatigue and causes twitching. This is not only for finger , it happens after strenuous exercise , anxity etc.. Nothing to worry , take nutritious food and strengthen your muscles .

I've been feeling this heaviness in my right cheek and I'm not sure why. I also have neck pain and sometimes a bit of pain in my head. It's making me feel really anxious. I occasionally get this weird sensation on my lips where it feels like palpitations, usually once or twice a month. I'm confused about which type of doctor I should reach out to. Any ideas on what could be going on?
