I'm dealing with vertigo and recently visited a Patanjali Arogya Kendra. The doctor there prescribed me divya mukta vati extra power, arjunarist syrup, protiking malt, and sperimed capsules. I'm a bit worried if this is the right treatment for my vertigo. Also, my blood pressure was measured at 110150. Should I be concerned about this? Any advice would really help!

I've been getting these strange muscle twitches in my bicep on the left arm. They aren't constant, but I've noticed them more when I'm just chilling out. It doesn't hurt or really bother me physically, but each time it happens, I can't help but feel a bit on edge and worried. What could be causing this, and should I be concerned? Just trying to understand what's going on.

I'm experiencing this pain in my hands and feet when I walk, and it's got me a bit worried. There's also this weird numbness in my fingers at night when I'm trying to sleep. Could this be peripheral neuropathy? What should I do about it?
