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've noticed this strange numbness on the skin of my left kneecap in a small area about the size of a coin, and I can't remember injuring it recently. There's no pain, no issues with movement, and I'm not on any medication. I'm a bit puzzled about why it's happening. Could you shed some light on why the skin in that specific spot is numb?

I'm dealing with this weird sensation where it feels like there are tiny bugs crawling under the skin on my right leg. There's no itchiness, pain, or visible red bumps, but it just feels strange like something is moving around beneath the surface, mostly in my legs. It's really bothering me and I can't seem to get any sleep. Could you please suggest how to treat this or maybe recommend some medicine?

This sensation you are experiencing could be due to a condition called Formication. To help alleviate this sensation, you can try taking an antihistamine such as Cetirizine. Additionally, you can use a topical cream containing Calamine to soothe the skin. If the symptoms persist or worsen, it is important to consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.
