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 really concerned about my mom. She's been feeling this odd sensation and burning in her left leg, specifically between the knee and thigh. I was doing some reading online and it seems really similar to something called Meralgia Paraesthetica. This all started after she had laparoscopic surgery for gallbladder stones back in October 2016. It's not always there, but when it does show up, it seems to be happening more often now. I'm really hoping for some advice on how we could help her feel better. Should we be seeing a certain type of doctor for this?

The symptoms your mother describes could indeed align with **Meralgia Paresthetica**, which occurs due to compression of the lateral femoral cutaneous nerve. I recommend consulting a **neurologist** for a detailed evaluation. In the meantime, measures like avoiding tight clothing, maintaining a healthy weight, and physical therapy may help alleviate symptoms.

I've been having continuous dizziness for the past couple of days. Ive tried taking electrolytes and glucose and even had coffee to help with it, but nothing seems to work. What could be causing this, and is there anything else I should try to feel better?

I've never experienced anything like this until last week. I heard a loud pop in my brain, kind of at the top center, but more towards my forehead. Then I felt this sharp, radiating pain in that spot, and after that, it was just nothing. What could cause something like that besides a brain aneurysm? I'm in my 20s with no known family history of brain aneurysms, but I do have cousins with brain tumors. What do you think it could be?
