I was recently diagnosed with a cervical herniated disc and now have numbness in my first three fingers and arm weakness. The pain in my neck and shoulder has gotten better with meds but the numbness is still there. Is there a way to fix this without surgery

I've been having this tightness on the right side of my chest, and when I press on that spot, it gives me some relief, but then it just starts back up again. It's leading to some pain near my left chest too. I've had my heart checked and all the tests are normal, so now I'm wondering if this could be a nerve or muscle issue. Could you suggest any tests I should look into?

I've been having this weird problem where I feel really dizzy at night when I'm trying to sleep. It's so frustrating because it makes it hard for me to actually fall asleep. Does anyone have any idea what might be causing this or what I can do to stop it?

I've been dealing with some weird numbness in my left leg, specifically below the knee and above the foot. It all started after I was sitting for a while with my legs stretched out. I thought it was just the usual numbness from stretching and figured it would go away, but it's still there, and I can barely feel anything in that area. Is this something I should be worried about, or is there anything I can do to make it go away faster?
