Whether it's a run-of-the-mill tension headache or a migraine, caffeine can help. That's why it's an ingredient in a lot of popular pain relievers. It can make them as much as 40% more effective. Sometimes you can stop the pain in its tracks just by having caffeine alone.

Question

I'm really concerned about something unusual that happened today. My friend experienced twisting of her tongue a couple of times at different intervals. We went to see a general physician who checked her vitals and said everything seemed normal. However, he recommended we get an MRI or a CT scan done. Now, I'm wondering if we should also consult a neurologist. Does this situation typically require a specialist? Would love to hear your thoughts on this.

Question

I'm really starting to get worried about this constant twitching under my left eye. It's been happening for about 2 months now. Do you think it could be something serious, or is it usually just a minor issue?

Question

I've been diagnosed with a calcified granuloma in the left frontal lobe of my brain a couple of years ago, and it's really starting to worry me. Lately, I'm having these extreme headaches, and I'm feeling really weak and dizzy, almost as if I'm losing control over my body. Plus, I've had epilepsy in the past with about four seizures already. Could this have anything to do with the granuloma, or should I be looking at something else? What do you think I should do?
