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.

View allI'm noticing I've had poor blood circulation for about a week now. When I keep my hands raised for just a few seconds, they start tingling and getting numb. Could you let me know which type of doctor I should consult for this? Is it related to a nerve problem? Which medical specialty would this fall under?

I'm feeling this weird cold sensation at the back of my head. It happens mostly at night, and the only thing that seems to help is wearing a woollen cap while I sleep. Sometimes I feel it during the day too. I've tried putting cotton in my ears, which helps a bit but doesn't completely fix it. What could be causing this, and should I be worried?

I've been dealing with ocular myasthenia gravis since November 2016. I had a blood report and a CT scan in 2017, which were normal, but then another CT scan in 2018 showed some infection. A chest specialist suggested doing a FOB, and when I asked about how my ocular myasthenia could affect the FOB check-up, the doctor mentioned there's no connection. When I asked about possible infection in the thymus gland according to the CT scan, the doctor said there wasn't one. They mentioned these infections could be pneumonia and might be linked to the prednisolone tablets I'm taking, but these infections weren't there before. Can you guide me on if this is the right approach? An ophthalmologist gave me a Botox injection in my right upper eyelid in January 2017 without doing the ice pack test, Musk test, or diagnosing myasthenia gravis. What role does an FOB play in handling ocular myasthenia gravis?
