I'm really concerned about my aunt. She suddenly got numbness on the left side of her body a few days ago. We went to the doctor right away, and they thought it might be just a gas problem, so they prescribed some tablets for three days. But today we got her ECG report, and it mentions Sinus Rhythm and left axis deviation. When we showed the report to the doctor, they suggested checking her sugar levels. We just got that test done, but we're still waiting for the results. She's really scared and stressed out about all of this. Could you take a look at her report and tell us if there's anything serious we should be worried about?

SInus rhythm with left axis deviation does not warrant any cause for concern on an ECG. Her numbness may have been caused due to neuropathy resulting from increased sugar levels, as seen in diabetic patients. This is why she has been suggested a sugar level test.

I'm trying to figure out what NVD means in relation to a nerve problem with my right hand. I've had some tests done like EEG, EMG, and MRI of my neck and brain, and everything seems fine. The doctor suggested NVD, but I'm not sure if it's a test or a type of therapy. They've also prescribed me Clonotril 0.25 mg, Felicity OD, and Meaxon Plus injection. Could you help me understand what NVD stands for and what it involves?

I'm feeling some strange movements just below my eye, under the skin, and I'm concerned because I've been using guasha. I might have pressed too hard when I was massaging, and now I'm worried I might have damaged the tissue there. Theres no redness or puffiness, and it looks normal, but it does make me uncomfortable sometimes. Is there any medicine or treatment that might help with this?

That could be Muscle twitching no need to worry it will self resolve, take adequate rest and consume healthy food.
