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.

I've been working in a pharmaceutical industry for 29 years, and recently, due to my morning shifts, I'm only getting about 5-6 hours of sleep. Last night, out of nowhere, I fainted. It all started with feeling lightheaded, stiff, and shaky, my eyes even rolled up, and I was sweating a lot. I called my husband just before I lost consciousness, and I don't remember anything for a few seconds. He kind of shook me, and everything felt like it was spinning. After a bit, I got stable and then ended up puking everything out. This whole thing has me really worried. Could this be something serious?
