I've been experiencing something a bit unusual. Occasionally, when I touch my skin, it feels hot to me, but when I ask others to feel it, they say my skin's actually cold. At the same time, even though my body feels warm on the inside, I start feeling really cold when the fan is on a higher speed. I don't have any other symptoms and it doesnt seem like a fever because I feel normal otherwise. Could you help me figure out what's going on?

You may be experiencing a sensation of altered temperature perception, where you feel hot but others perceive your skin as cold. This phenomenon could be due to various reasons such as changes in blood circulation, nerve function, or even psychological factors. One possible explanation could be related to a condition called peripheral neuropathy, which can affect how your body senses temperature. I recommend you to take Acetaminophen 500mg for relief, and if the symptoms persist or worsen, it would be best to consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.

I've been feeling really weird lately with this cold sensation inside the left side of my head. It's almost like there's cold liquid in there, and it's giving me a tingling feeling in my face. It's strange, right? I've also noticed that I get really sleepy when this happens, and sometimes I experience these intense hot flashes. Is there something I should be worried about? What could this possibly be?

You may be experiencing symptoms of a migraine headache. The cold feeling inside your head, tingling in your face, and hot flashes are common symptoms of migraines. To help alleviate these symptoms, you can try taking Sumatriptan (brand name: Imitrex). Additionally, you can take Acetaminophen (brand name: Tylenol) at a dosage of 500-1000mg for pain relief. Make sure to rest in a quiet, dark room and stay hydrated. If these symptoms persist or worsen, please follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.
