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 full body tingling, muscle spasms, and neck and back pain that radiates. I'm currently taking neugaba 150 and dulot 30 but get really bad sweating and anxiety if I miss a dose. Should I see a surgeon or stick with medication management for this? Worried about being dependent on these meds long-term.

Apollo is best for it.

I'm dealing with a 103-degree fever since yesterday and struggling with unbearable headaches. I've been diagnosed with migraines and was prescribed Amicon 25. The doctor has now added antibiotics and Dolo 650 for the fever. Given that I'm a breastfeeding mom, I'm really concerned. Can I safely take Amicon 25 along with these other medications? The headaches are making it hard to sleep, and I just want to make sure everything's okay for me and my baby.

I've been noticing that whenever I'm stressed out, I get pain in my left arm and sometimes in my left hand, along with this tingling sensation. It's worse after nights when I've slept poorly. Plus, there's this spot on the left side of my head that also starts hurting around the same time. Should I be worried about this? What could be causing these symptoms?

It sounds like you may be experiencing symptoms of nerve compression or pinched nerves, especially since the pain is associated with tingling sensations. To help alleviate these symptoms, you can try taking over-the-counter pain relievers such as acetaminophen or ibuprofen. Additionally, you can use a topical pain relief cream containing diclofenac applied to the affected area. It is also important to practice stress-reducing techniques such as deep breathing exercises or meditation to help manage your symptoms. If the pain persists, I recommend consulting with a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.
