I had IPCL eye surgery two months ago and ever since then, I get a one-sided headache whenever I'm exposed to outside air. Taking something like Sinarest gives me relief for half a day, but then the headache comes back. I mentioned this to my doctor at Vasan Eye Care Hospital, but nothing helped. It's really affecting my work and making me frustrated what could be causing this?

eye opinion is advised.

I've been experiencing these sudden jerks in my head lately. At first, they were just on the left side and didn't happen that often, but now I'm feeling them on the right too. What could be causing this? Should I be concerned?

I'm dealing with this twitching on my left index finger that started a couple of days ago. It's just that one finger and it only lasts a few minutes, but it keeps happening. I'm kind of worried about what could be causing it and wondering if it's something serious. Is there a way to sort this out on my own, or do I need to see a doctor? Any insights would be really helpful.

The twitching in your left index finger could be due to minor causes such as fatigue, caffeine or nicotine consumption, nutrient deficiencies (magnesium, potassium, or calcium), or temporary nerve irritation, but in rare cases, it could be an early sign of a neurological condition like benign fasciculation syndrome, peripheral neuropathy, or amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).
