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 dealing with a bulging disc at L4 L5 S1 on my right side, and I used to get this electric shock-like pain down my right leg when sleeping, walking, or sneezing. But now the pain has switched to my left leg in the same area, and the worst part is I'm getting that shooting current-like pain in my left front thigh joint when walking. Is there any way this can heal completely without needing surgery?

Your symptoms suggest bilateral nerve involvement. Non-surgical options like physiotherapy, posture correction, and medications can help, but MRI and expert evaluation are essential.

I'm starting to feel concerned about my health because I've been experiencing a heavy tongue and slurred speech sometimes. I've already checked for any kind of stroke, and thankfully, that came back negative. I've been feeling quite distraught and restless occasionally. I used to be diagnosed with sleep apnea, but I've been using a CPAP machine, and my sleep has improved quite a lot since then. Despite that, I sometimes notice muscle weakness in my thighs and calves, and I also have lower back pain. An MRI showed that I have a bulging disc that's pressing on my nerves. I'm really perplexed about the heavy tongue and would love some insights on why that might be happening.

all reports are normal it can be due to anxiety

I'm dealing with this recurring swelling and pain near my occipital area, and I've been seeing a doctor for a while now, but there's still no clear diagnosis. Right now, I'm on some tablets they prescribed, but the relief is just temporary, and the swelling seems to pop up all the time. Could you suggest any other approaches or tests that might help pinpoint the problem and get it treated effectively?
