Question 1

I'm really concerned because for the past 15 days, I've been experiencing this muscle twitching in my upper arm near the shoulder. It happens quite frequently, and I've also noticed similar twitching in my left chest and the middle lower chest area. The twitching in my arm seems to be the most constant. Should I be worried about this?

Accepted Answer

Possible Causes*

1. *Muscle fatigue*: Overuse or strain of the muscles in your upper arm and chest.
2. *Nutritional deficiencies*: Low levels of electrolytes (potassium, magnesium, calcium), vitamins (B12, D), or minerals.
3. *Nerve stimulation*: Irritation of the nerves supplying the muscles in your arm and chest.
4. *Anxiety or stress*: Tension and stress can cause muscle twitching.

*When to Worry*

1. *Persistent twitching*: If twitching continues for an extended period.
2. *Weakness or pain*: If you experience muscle weakness, pain, or numbness.
3. *Other symptoms*: If you have difficulty breathing, swallowing, or speaking.

*Next Steps*

1. *Consult a doctor*: Schedule an appointment with your primary care physician or a neurologist.
2. *Get a physical examination*: To rule out underlying conditions.
3. *Blood tests*: To check for nutritional deficiencies or other underlying conditions.
4. *EMG (Electromyography)*: To evaluate muscle and nerve function.

In the meantime:

1. *Stay hydrated*: Drink plenty of water and electrolyte-rich fluids.
2. *Manage stress*: Engage in relaxation techniques, such as meditation or deep breathing.
3. *Avoid caffeine and nicotine*: Both can exacerbate muscle twitching.

Question 2

I've been feeling a bit lightheaded and dizzy in the evenings over the last couple of days, almost like my head is wrapped up in something. It reminds me of wearing a cap or helmet. Any ideas on what might be causing this?

Accepted Answer

Visit Physician for proper evaluation that looks like migraine headache

Question 3

I've been having these vertigo episodes over the last six months, and despite seeing an ENT and getting all sorts of tests like VNG and audiometry, everything came back normal. The ENT even said it might not be vertigo and suggested I see a neurologist. I had an MRI done, but that was fine too. I've been on stuzeran 25 and renerve plus for about four months, and while there's a bit of improvement in my dizziness and motion sickness, it's nothing significant. Lately, I've started getting headaches after sitting in front of the computer for a long time, about 2-3 hours. I even saw an ophthalmologist, but my eyes are perfectly fine. With all these doctor visits, nobody's been able to pinpoint what's actually causing my problems. Any idea what's going on or what could be the reason for these headaches?

Accepted Answer

in conclusion, while many tests have come back normal, its still possible that issues like posture, stress, or medication side effects could be contributing to your ongoing symptoms. Its important to maintain open communication with your healthcare providers, and exploring physical therapy for your neck and posture might be a useful next step.

Why do I forget things so quickly?

Severe stress, depression, a vitamin B-12 deficiency, insufficient sleep, some prescription drugs and infections can all play a role.
