Question

I'm really worried about my wife's health. She's been having this frequent pain in her right eye, and her vision isn't great according to the doctor. Plus, she has pain in her right arm and sometimes her leg. I've noticed that whenever she's stressed out or has been crying, these pains, especially in her eye, head, and arm, seem to get worse. For instance, after my brother-in-law passed away due to COVID, she was very stressed and the pain got severe. Even small things, like me not bringing home vegetables in time, seem to stress her out and increase her pain. On top of that, when she's really stressed, she complains about a headache, breathlessness, and pain in the center of her chest. Her ECG and blood tests came back fine, so I'm unsure about what's causing all this. Could this be psychological, or is there a possibility of an underlying heart condition? Any advice on what steps we should take next?

Question

I'm really worried because I've been having this warm feeling on the left side of my brain for the past few weeks. Sometimes it even affects my face and the area behind my ear. But today, I experienced a sharp pain in my head along with the warm sensation. I'm not sure what's going on. I'm also caring for my 11-month-old baby, and I need to feel well to take care of her. Can you please help me figure out what this might be?

Question

I've been having these sharp pains right behind my ear that come and go pretty quickly. It's like there's also this weird pressure that builds up behind my head and sometimes makes me feel dizzy. Should I be worried about this? Is this something you've seen before, and what might be causing it?
