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

  1. Musculoskeletal strain: Strained muscles in your chest, back, or ribcage can cause pinching pain.
  2. Costochondritis: Inflammation of the cartilage that connects your ribs to your breastbone can cause sharp pains.
  3. Pleurisy: Inflammation of the lining surrounding your lungs can cause chest pain that worsens with breathing.
  4. Pulmonary issues: Conditions like pneumonia, bronchitis, or asthma can cause chest pain and discomfort.

Immediate Actions

  1. Consult a doctor: Schedule an appointment with your primary care physician or a pulmonologist to discuss your symptoms.
  2. Get a chest X-ray: To rule out any underlying pulmonary issues.
  3. Try relaxation techniques: Practice deep breathing exercises, meditation, or yoga to help manage stress and alleviate pain.

Self-Care Measures

  1. Apply heat or cold: Use a warm or cold compress to help relax the muscles and reduce pain.
  2. Stretch gently: Avoid heavy exercise, but try gentle stretching to help loosen tight muscles.
  3. Rest: Get plenty of rest to help your body recover.

I've been having really bad pain on the right side of my neck, shoulder, and head that lasts for weeks - the MRI showed my C3 vein might be blocked. The migraines are unbearable and I'm scared of surgery - could acupressure help relieve this instead?

ortho opinion is advised.

I've been having these vertigo episodes over the last six months, and despite seeing an ENT and getting all sorts of tests like VNG and audiometry, everything came back normal. The ENT even said it might not be vertigo and suggested I see a neurologist. I had an MRI done, but that was fine too. I've been on stuzeran 25 and renerve plus for about four months, and while there's a bit of improvement in my dizziness and motion sickness, it's nothing significant. Lately, I've started getting headaches after sitting in front of the computer for a long time, about 2-3 hours. I even saw an ophthalmologist, but my eyes are perfectly fine. With all these doctor visits, nobody's been able to pinpoint what's actually causing my problems. Any idea what's going on or what could be the reason for these headaches?

in conclusion, while many tests have come back normal, its still possible that issues like posture, stress, or medication side effects could be contributing to your ongoing symptoms. Its important to maintain open communication with your healthcare providers, and exploring physical therapy for your neck and posture might be a useful next step.
