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'm taking vertin and stemetil for my vertigo just like my doctor recommended, but I'm still having one or two vertigo episodes even with the meds. Plus, it seems to happen more when my stomach's empty. Is this normal? I've also had migraines for 20 years now. Does vertin actually stop vertigo completely?

You seem to be suffering from vestibular migraine. You may need long term migraine prophylaxis. Simple anti vertigo medicines are not really useful
