Body-wide twitching can be caused by various factors, including anxiety or stress, caffeine or nicotine excess, electrolyte imbalances (potassium, magnesium, or calcium), muscle fatigue, or underlying medical conditions like multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's disease, or peripheral neuropathy, so consider consulting a healthcare professional to rule out any serious conditions and determine the best course of action.

I've been experiencing this strange brain sensation, kind of like a vibration, that woke me up suddenly last night. It's happened to me before, a few months ago, and I'm not sure if it's due to stress or maybe not getting enough sleep. As a student, is this something related to my study habits or sleep patterns? It gets worse when I try to go back to sleep or even when I'm reading. After it happens, I can't sleep for about 3 to 4 hours, and the next day my brain feels really jammed. Should I be worried and consider consulting a neurologist about these symptoms?

No, it's not recommended to use a partially consumed syrup that's 6 months old. Its potency, safety, and efficacy may be compromised due to: 1. Expiration 2. Contamination 3. Degradation of active ingredients Discard the old syrup and purchase a new one to ensure your toddler's safety and effective relief. Always check the expiration date and follow proper storage instructions.

I'm a bit worried because my right ring finger starts shaking whenever I try to keep my hand straight with the fingers spread apart. I haven't had any injuries, and there's no pain. Could you help me understand what's going on?
