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 concerned about my mom. She had brain tumor surgery last year, and the doctor prescribed her Hisone 5mg pills to take daily since then. Lately, she's been having some dizziness and occasional blackouts. Could these symptoms be related to the Hisone pills she's taking? What might be causing this?

Don't worry, hospitalization ensures close monitoring and proper care. Shortness of breath in typhoid fever can occur due to various reasons, such as anemia, dehydration, or cardiac complications. Although it's true that shortness of breath typically occurs in the third week, it's not a hard and fast rule. Your doctor will continue to monitor your condition and adjust treatment accordingly. Focus on resting, staying hydrated, and following your treatment plan. You're in good hands; let the medical team manage your care.

My niece has been experiencing moments where she blacks out for a second or two every now and then. It happens really randomly and even during her sleep. She almost collapses for a brief moment and then regains control. She has no idea when it'll happen next, and we're really worried about it. What kind of specialist should we see for this? Could this be a sign of something more serious in the future?

Your niece's symptoms sound like they could be related to fainting or syncope, which is a brief loss of consciousness caused by a temporary decrease in blood flow to the brain. Given the random nature of the blackouts, it's essential to consult a specialist to rule out any underlying conditions. I'd recommend visiting a pediatric cardiologist, as they specialize in heart problems in children, which could be a potential cause. Additionally, a pediatric neurologist might also be helpful in case the issue is related to the nervous system. While most cases of fainting are harmless, it's always better to be safe than sorry, especially since your niece is experiencing these episodes randomly and even during sleep.
