I'm experiencing this odd sensation where my hands and legs feel really weak and lightweight. It's like there's a constant feeling of lightness and weakness in them, and it's starting to worry me. Have you encountered this before, and do you have any idea what might be causing it?

That could be due to Anaemia or any neurological deficit,visit General physician for evaluation and appropriate management

I've been having this weird cold sensation in my head, like trickling water, for two days now. On top of that, I've been getting these mild headaches every so often over the past few days. I'm a bit worried about the cold feeling in my head. What do you think I should do?

Could be a sinus infection. I recommend taking a decongestant like Sudafed (pseudoephedrine) 30mg every 4-6 hours to help with the congestion and cold sensation in your head. Additionally, you can take a pain reliever like Tylenol (acetaminophen) 500mg every 6 hours for the headache. Make sure to stay hydrated and get plenty of rest. If your symptoms persist or worsen, please consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation.
