I've been experiencing a really sharp pain on the left side of my neck that feels like being poked with a big needle. It's been going on for a few days now. Should I be worried? What could be causing this?

Considering your symptoms and test results, it's possible that your chest pain is related to:

Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) Esophageal spasm Musculoskeletal issue

Consult a gastroenterologist for further evaluation and treatment.

They may recommend additional tests, such as an endoscopy or pH monitoring.

In the meantime, continue with the antiacid and anti-gas medications as prescribed.

I'm really worried because my mom has been dealing with some kind of disease for over a year now. We've been to so many physicians and psychiatrists, and we've done various tests, but everything comes back normal. It's just so confusing, and we're not sure what steps to take next. She's currently taking medicines like Redion XT, Panor DSR, Etizolam, PKimitrip, Eteolam 0.5, and Lozipam 1, but nothing seems to work. I'm desperate for some advice on what might actually help her or even a recommendation for a doctor who could be the right fit to understand her health issue. Could anyone guide us?

I'm a bit worried because my left pinky finger keeps twitching. It started about a week ago, and while there's no pain, it bothers me when I'm working on the computer. After doing some research, I read that twitching of the left pinky finger was one of the symptoms linked to Parkinson's, specifically mentioned with Michael J. Fox. Should I be concerned about Parkinson's, or could it be something else?

In your case, since there is no pain or other issues, it may be related to repetitive strain from working on the computer. I recommend trying to take breaks and stretch your fingers regularly. Additionally, you can take a muscle relaxant like Flexeril (cyclobenzaprine) 5mg at night to help with the twitching. If the twitching persists or worsens, it would be best to consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation.
