View allI'm having trouble holding a pen properly and writing because my index finger doesn't seem to grip it right. My finger itself seems fine, though. What could be causing this issue, and how can I fix it?
It sounds like you may be experiencing difficulty with fine motor control, which could be due to issues with coordination or muscle strength, even if there's no apparent problem with the finger itself. I recommend consulting a specialist, such as a neurologist or occupational therapist, who can assess the underlying cause and suggest exercises or treatments to improve your grip and writing ability.

I'm experiencing headaches frequently and I'm really worried. I already visited an ENT doctor, but the headaches keep coming back. What could be causing them and should I see a different specialist?
Headaches can have various causes, including stress, dehydration, eye strain, or even underlying medical conditions. For relief, you can try taking acetaminophen (Tylenol) 500mg every 4-6 hours as needed for headache. Make sure to stay hydrated, practice good posture, and manage stress levels. If the headaches persist or worsen, it's important to follow up with your primary care physician for further evaluation and management.

I've been experiencing this strange brain sensation, kind of like a vibration, that woke me up suddenly last night. It's happened to me before, a few months ago, and I'm not sure if it's due to stress or maybe not getting enough sleep. As a student, is this something related to my study habits or sleep patterns? It gets worse when I try to go back to sleep or even when I'm reading. After it happens, I can't sleep for about 3 to 4 hours, and the next day my brain feels really jammed. Should I be worried and consider consulting a neurologist about these symptoms?
