My mom's been dealing with this super sharp, electric-like pain in her right hand that kicks in every time she coughs. It seems to start at her elbows and then just shoots down to her wrists. She's just getting over pneumonia and has been coughing pretty hard. I'm really worried and wondering what might be causing this hand pain whenever she has these coughing fits. Could it be related to her recent illness or something else?

I'm getting frequent pain above my left eye, which spreads to the left side of my head, and it's really bothering me. The only thing that seems to help is sleeping. It tends to happen for any reason, but I particularly notice it if I've slept too much or spent a long time outside on a hot day. I used to have more headaches when I was younger, like till around 14, but they stopped and now it's happening again. The pain is usually mild when I wake up, but by night, it's unbearable. I'm curious what's going on here and what I should do?

Your symptoms suggest migraines or tension headaches, possibly triggered by sleep patterns, heat, or environmental factors; consider consulting a neurologist or primary care physician to rule out underlying conditions, and in the meantime, try maintaining a consistent sleep schedule, staying hydrated, avoiding triggers
