I've been noticing something odd when I sleep. If I rest my head on my hand, when I wake up, that part of my head feels numb, almost like there's been blood circulation loss. It usually happens near my ear or sometimes at the back. Once I wake up and move my hand away, I can feel the blood coming back, and after massaging it for a bit, it feels normal again. Is this something to worry about, or is it common? I'm a bit anxious about it.

View allI'm trying to understand my dad's recent health reports, and I'm a bit worried. He's been dealing with a gastro esophageal ulcer, and he just had an ECO done. The report says he has IAS and IVS intact. Can you explain what this means? I'm really concerned about his condition and would love some clarity on this.
IAS and IVS intact in echo means that those part of the heart are not damaged

I'm really concerned about my mom. She's got a heart rate that's sitting at 100 bpm. What can we do to bring it down to a normal range? Could you suggest any steps, actions, or medications that might help?
To lower her heart rate to a normal level, she can try relaxation techniques such as deep breathing exercises, meditation, or yoga. It is also important for her to stay hydrated, avoid caffeine and nicotine, and get an adequate amount of sleep. If these lifestyle changes do not help, she can consider taking a beta-blocker medication such as Metoprolol to help lower her heart rate.

I'm 33 and just got my cholesterol levels checked. My total cholesterol is 246 mgdl with HDL at 40 mgdl, LDL at 179 mgdl, triglycerides at 186 mgdl, VLDL at 37.2 mgdl, and non-HDL at 206.5 mgdl. I'm kinda worried about these numbers. Do you think I should start taking medication to manage my cholesterol?
Based on your cholesterol levels, it appears that your LDL cholesterol is high at 179mgdl. Considering this, it would be advisable to start medication to help control your cholesterol levels and reduce the risk of heart disease. I recommend starting a statin medication such as Atorvastatin at a dosage of 20mg daily. Additionally, incorporating lifestyle changes such as a healthy diet and regular exercise can also help in managing cholesterol levels.
