I'm really concerned about my mom. She's been diabetic for a while, and lately, she's been saying that her whole body goes numb when she's sleeping. It's been happening for about a month, and I'm not sure what type of doctor we should see about this. Could you guide me on who to consult?

I'm really worried about my husband. He's 33 and has been experiencing chest pain for the past three months, as well as dizziness, like he's about to fall down. He also has upper back pain. We've done full cardiac tests, checked sugar levels, blood pressure, urine tests, and even had an endoscopy, but everything came back normal. Despite that, he's still not feeling well. Every morning he wakes up dizzy and feels sleepy all the time. We've already seen cardiac and gastro specialists, but we still can't figure out what's wrong. Could you please advise which kind of doctor we should see next?

contact a psychiatrist

I've had headaches four times in the last 10 days, and one time I even vomited. Before the headache starts, my vision gets blurry. I've taken a Saridon tablet three times, and once I just slept it off and it went away. These headaches aren't usual for me, so I'm starting to think they might be migraines. Do you think I should see a doctor about this?

yes it might be migraine , if u get this next time visit near by physician
