I'm a 52-year-old who has been on Parkinson's medication, specifically Syndopa, for the past year. Recently, I've developed a stomach infection and was considering taking O2 tablets for it. Is it safe to combine these with my current medication for Parkinson's? I'm a bit worried about any potential side effects or interactions.

I've been experiencing this really heavy feeling in my neck for the past couple of days. It's like my neck needs constant support, almost like it's a burden. But here's the thing: it doesn't hurt, and it's not stiff. It's just unusually heavy. What could be causing this, and what should I do about it?

You may be experiencing neck muscle fatigue or tension. To help relieve the feeling of heaviness in your neck, you can try taking a muscle relaxant like **Cyclobenzaprine** 10mg once daily. Additionally, you can apply a topical pain relief gel like **Voltaren Gel** to the affected area. Make sure to also practice good posture and gentle neck stretches to help alleviate the discomfort.
