I'm really worried because I've been having this warm feeling on the left side of my brain for the past few weeks. Sometimes it even affects my face and the area behind my ear. But today, I experienced a sharp pain in my head along with the warm sensation. I'm not sure what's going on. I'm also caring for my 11-month-old baby, and I need to feel well to take care of her. Can you please help me figure out what this might be?

Pinching Pain in Lung Area
Possible Causes
- Musculoskeletal strain: Strained muscles in your chest, back, or ribcage can cause pinching pain.
- Costochondritis: Inflammation of the cartilage that connects your ribs to your breastbone can cause sharp pains.
- Pleurisy: Inflammation of the lining surrounding your lungs can cause chest pain that worsens with breathing.
- Pulmonary issues: Conditions like pneumonia, bronchitis, or asthma can cause chest pain and discomfort.
Immediate Actions
- Consult a doctor: Schedule an appointment with your primary care physician or a pulmonologist to discuss your symptoms.
- Get a chest X-ray: To rule out any underlying pulmonary issues.
- Try relaxation techniques: Practice deep breathing exercises, meditation, or yoga to help manage stress and alleviate pain.
Self-Care Measures
- Apply heat or cold: Use a warm or cold compress to help relax the muscles and reduce pain.

View allI've been experiencing something a bit unusual. Occasionally, when I touch my skin, it feels hot to me, but when I ask others to feel it, they say my skin's actually cold. At the same time, even though my body feels warm on the inside, I start feeling really cold when the fan is on a higher speed. I don't have any other symptoms and it doesnt seem like a fever because I feel normal otherwise. Could you help me figure out what's going on?
You may be experiencing a sensation of altered temperature perception, where you feel hot but others perceive your skin as cold. This phenomenon could be due to various reasons such as changes in blood circulation, nerve function, or even psychological factors. One possible explanation could be related to a condition called peripheral neuropathy, which can affect how your body senses temperature. I recommend you to take Acetaminophen 500mg for relief, and if the symptoms persist or worsen, it would be best to consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.

Lately, I've been experiencing this annoying tingling and numbness in my left hand and leg. It's mostly when I'm sitting or trying to sleep, and it's accompanied by some lower back pain. Walking seems to alleviate it, but the discomfort kicks back in when I'm stationary. It's getting pretty irritating, so I was wondering if you could suggest what I might do to ease this. Any medicine ideas or other ways to find some relief?
Your symptoms may be suggestive of neuropathy. The cause of the neuropathy may be various reasons, which will require investigations to be confirmed. You may require imaging studies to rule out referred pain from spinal cord abnormalities or evaluation of your blood sugar values to rule out diabetic neuropathy.
