I'm dealing with a burning sensation all over my body and it feels like nerve pain, with pins and needles, and sometimes it feels like a heat wave inside. I've also got nerve pain in my jaw. I've been told I might have Complex Regional Pain Syndrome by one doctor in NZ, and a neurologist mentioned Central Pain Syndrome. I'm really concerned and a bit confused about these diagnoses. Could you explain what they mean and how they differ? Also, what can I do to manage or reduce these symptoms?

Approximately 80% of patients with CRPS type I achieve complete, spontaneous relief of signs and symptoms within 18 months; however, no diagnostic criteria have been shown to predict which patients will fall into this category. Some of the patients whose symptoms do not resolve spontaneously may still be cured by treatment. Of the patients who develop refractory CRPS type I, 50-80% have disability secondary to pain andor a limited range of motion. The main disabilities are limitations in their activities of daily living (ADL).

View allI've been having this weird head spinning feeling, like there's pressure in my head, and I've been feeling super weak. It's been hard to get a good night's sleep too. Honestly, I think stress and overthinking might have something to do with it, but I'm not sure. What do you think I should do?
Given your symptoms of occasional head spinning, pressure in the head, weakness, stress, and overthinking, consider consulting a primary care physician or a neurologist to rule out underlying medical conditions, such as anxiety disorders, migraines, or inner ear issues, and discuss stress management techniques, like meditation, deep breathing, or cognitive-behavioral therapy.

I'm a little worried because I've been experiencing these brief blackouts where I suddenly can't see anything for a few seconds, and then I feel extremely weak afterward. I went to an eye doctor, and they suggested I get a neuro check-up. Could this be something serious, and what might be causing these symptoms?

I'm having this issue with dizziness, like when I get up from watching TV on the sofa, I feel really light-headed. It's been going on for about six months now. My diet seems fine, and I recently checked my blood pressure, which was 90 over 110, and they said that's normal. But if my blood pressure is okay, then what's causing this dizziness? I really need to figure out what's going on and how to treat it.
It sounds like you may be experiencing **orthostatic hypotension**, which is a sudden drop in blood pressure when standing up, causing dizziness. Even though your BP is within a normal range, this condition can still occur. Its important to stay hydrated, rise slowly from sittinglying positions, and avoid sudden movements. If the symptoms persist, I recommend consulting with a doctor to rule out other causes, such as inner ear issues or blood sugar imbalances.
