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 being treated for bacterial overgrowth in my intestine, and so far, it's going well. But I'm a bit worried because sometimes I get this dull ache in my upper back, shoulder, and left arm. It's mostly on the left side, though it rarely happens on the right. I also feel pretty gassy. Could this discomfort be because of gas, or do you think I should be more concerned and maybe get an ECG done? I'm 37 and female, if that helps. What do you think?
It is possible that your upper back pain, shoulder pain, and arm pain on the left side could be related to gas or bloating from the bacterial overgrowth in your intestine. Gas can sometimes cause referred pain to other areas of the body, including the back and shoulders. However, given that you are also experiencing arm pain, it is important to consider other possible causes such as musculoskeletal issues or even cardiac concerns. Since you are also feeling gassy, it is reasonable to try over-the-counter gas relief medications such as Simethicone to see if it helps alleviate your symptoms. Additionally, you can consider taking a pain reliever like Acetaminophen for the discomfort. If your symptoms persist or worsen, especially if you experience any chest pain, shortness of breath, or dizziness, it would be prudent to seek medical attention. A doctor can evaluate your symptoms, perform a physical examination, and determine if further investigations such as an ECG are necessary to rule out any cardiac issues.

I'm 36 and dealing with high cholesterol, but my heart checkup in May 2019 was all clear except for that. Just a couple of days ago, I suddenly got dizzy and sweaty during dinner, but I didn't have chest pain or trouble breathing. When I went to the hospital, they did two ECGs a couple of hours apart, and the doctor noticed some changes. They said my blood Troponin levels were negative though. Should I be worried about these changes in the ECG? Is it something I need to look into further?
Based on the information provided, it is important to follow up on the changes noted in your ECG to rule out any potential cardiac issues. The presence of dizziness and sweating, along with ECG changes, warrants further evaluation. I recommend consulting with a cardiologist for a thorough assessment and appropriate management. In the meantime, to help manage your high cholesterol, you can consider taking Atorvastatin (brand name Lipitor) at a dose of 10-20 mg once daily, as prescribed by your healthcare provider."
