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?

Pinching Pain in Lung Area _Possible Causes_ 1. _Musculoskeletal strain_: Strained muscles in your chest, back, or ribcage can cause pinching pain. 2. _Costochondritis_: Inflammation of the cartilage that connects your ribs to your breastbone can cause sharp pains. 3. _Pleurisy_: Inflammation of the lining surrounding your lungs can cause chest pain that worsens with breathing. 4. _Pulmonary issues_: Conditions like pneumonia, bronchitis, or asthma can cause chest pain and discomfort. _Immediate Actions_ 1. _Consult a doctor_: Schedule an appointment with your primary care physician or a pulmonologist to discuss your symptoms. 2. _Get a chest X-ray_: To rule out any underlying pulmonary issues. 3. _Try relaxation techniques_: Practice deep breathing exercises, meditation, or yoga to help manage stress and alleviate pain. _Self-Care Measures_ 1. _Apply heat or cold_: Use a warm or cold compress to help relax the muscles and reduce pain. 2. _Stretch gently_: Avoid heavy exercise, but try gentle stretching to help loosen tight muscles. 3. _Rest_: Get plenty of rest to help your body recover.

My dad had a paralysis attack a few days ago and they've found a brain clot because his BP was super high, up at 212. He's paralyzed now, can't speak, and his right hand isn't working. He's in the hospital, but I'm really worried if this is going to be his reality forever or if there's a chance he could recover and lead a normal life again. What can we do to help his recovery? I've got his MRI reports too, but I can only send one image due to app restrictions. What should our next steps be?
