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

So, I've been having this thing happening where when I lie down and close my eyes, I start feeling this pulsating sensation and a little dizziness, like a tightness in the back of my head. It comes and goes, especially when I'm breathing in and out. It usually goes away after a bit, but I'm not sure what's triggering it. Sometimes I don't feel it at all, but other times it'll happen while I'm just sitting too. Also, I have an anxiety disorder, and my heart rate usually stays between 80 to 90 bpm. Does this sound like something I should be worried about, or is it more linked to my anxiety?

Question

I've been having this weird sensation where my left cheek and eye nerve keep twitching. It's been going on for a few days now, and I'm starting to get a little worried. Could this be something serious, or is it usually not that big of a deal? What might be causing this?

Question

I'm experiencing this odd sensation, like an earthquake, where it feels like my bed or something at the back of my head is moving back and forth when I'm trying to fall asleep. There's no nausea or headache, but I've been noticing this faint beep in my left ear for a while now. The sensation seems to worsen when I sleep for a longer time. I've been taking Vertin for 23 days, but it doesnt seem to be helping. Is this something I should be worried about? What steps should I take next?
