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.

View allI'm dealing with some pretty uncomfortable symptoms and could really use some insight. I've got this pain around my left shoulder blade that shoots down my arm, all the way to my fingers, and it's causing some tingling and numbness in my hand. It's also affecting my biceps and triceps. I believe there's something going on with the discs at C5C6 and C6C7, potentially some disc herniation or a posterior disc osteophyte complex. I'm a bit worried about what all this means and what I should do nextdo you have any advice?

I'm really worried about my mom. She took Duzela m 20 for her nerve pain, but now she's having side effects like acidity, nausea, and burping. What can we do to help her feel better and reduce these side effects?
The side effects of acidity, nausea, and burping after taking Duzela M 20 (a combination of duloxetine and methylcobalamin) can be common. To alleviate these symptoms, I recommend taking the medication with food, drinking plenty of water, and considering an over-the-counter antacid (after confirming with her doctor). If the symptoms persist, please consult her healthcare provider for further guidance.
