I've been having this sharp pain on the right side of my head for the last few days. It shows up really suddenly and goes away just as fast, but it keeps happening every ten minutes or so. What could be causing this, and should I be worried?

Question

I've been feeling some weird things lately, and I'm a bit worried. Last night, my sister said I was experiencing jerks in my sleep. Today, I'm noticing that parts of my body seem to move involuntarily when I'm trying to fall asleep. Plus, I've barely slept more than 5 hours a night this past week. Is this something I should be concerned about? Could it be serious?

Question

I'm feeling this weird cold sensation at the back of my head. It happens mostly at night, and the only thing that seems to help is wearing a woollen cap while I sleep. Sometimes I feel it during the day too. I've tried putting cotton in my ears, which helps a bit but doesn't completely fix it. What could be causing this, and should I be worried?

I'm really worried about my right hand. It doesn't seem to have as much strength as my left hand anymore. When I overwork it, my fingers start trembling pretty badly. It feels like all the strength in my fingers is just gone. What could be causing this?
