View allI've been experiencing this weird thing where if I shake my head really hard, I feel this sharp pain on the left side. It's strange because it doesn't happen any other time, just when I do this. Should I be worried about it? Any idea what could be causing this?
That could be Sinusitis,or muscle pain, no need to worry, visit General physician for evaluation and appropriate management

I'm really concerned about this numbness and tingling I feel on my left side sometimes. It's strange because I don't have high blood pressure or diabetes, though I do struggle with indigestion and I suspect some gas issues. My heartbeat and ECG are normal, and there's no history of heart problems in my family. I'm trying to figure out why these sensations happen. Should I see a cardiologist, or is there another specialist you recommend? This has got me feeling pretty nervous and unsure about what to do.
Based on your symptoms, it is possible that the numbness and tingling pain on the left side could be related to nerve compression or irritation. Since you mentioned that your heart beat and ECG are normal, it is less likely to be related to a cardiac issue. The indigestion and gas problems may also contribute to these symptoms due to referred pain. I recommend consulting a Neurologist for a detailed evaluation and further management. They can conduct specific tests to determine the exact cause of your symptoms and provide appropriate treatment. For your indigestion and gas issues, you can take over-the-counter antacids like "Ranitidine" 150mg twice daily before meals to help with the symptoms. Additionally, you can try simethicone-based medications like "Gas-X" to relieve gas discomfort. Make sure to follow up with a Neurologist for a comprehensive assessment.

I'm concerned because I started taking this medication called Pruvict 2, and I've been waking up with a headache the next morning. It started happening after I took the tablet at night. Is this a normal side effect, or should I be worried about something more?
