Ive been experiencing this weird sensation where it feels like my head and body are moving even when Im lying down. Sometimes I feel out of balance when Im walking, too. What could be causing this? It's starting to worry me a bit.

You may be experiencing a condition known as benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) or a vestibular balance disorder, characterized by sensations of movement, spinning, or loss of balance, especially when lying down or changing positions; other possible causes include inner ear problems, migraines, or anxiety, so consult an ear, nose, and throat (ENT) specialist

I've had this constant heaviness in my head since July 2013 and it's really affecting my balance when I'm walking or standing. It feels like there's pressure moving around in my head all the time. When it first started, I was feeling dizzy constantly and I couldn't hear properly for like ten days. This all happened after I experienced some dizziness and I was on Mala D pills for about seven to eight months because of my PCOD. Back then, I even felt balance problems while standing during my PCOD treatment. I've tried anxiety meds but they didn't help for long. I'm not sure what's going on but I've been on different medications since, and nothing has worked. Right now, there's constant pressure around my head, I'm always tired and dizzy, and my energy is super low. I can't stand still without feeling this heaviness moving around. It's so frustrating and I can't really describe how weird it makes me feel. Plus, I don't get my periods without medicine... because of PCOD. Could you please help me figure out what's happening?
It sounds like you may be experiencing symptoms related to vestibular migraine, which can cause a variety of symptoms including dizziness, imbalance, and pressure in the head. The history of giddiness, balance problems, and ongoing symptoms like tiredness, dizziness, and low energy are suggestive of this condition. To help manage these symptoms, you can try taking preventive medications such as Amitriptyline

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.
