Question 1

I'm feeling this weird cold sensation at the back of my head. It happens mostly at night, and the only thing that seems to help is wearing a woollen cap while I sleep. Sometimes I feel it during the day too. I've tried putting cotton in my ears, which helps a bit but doesn't completely fix it. What could be causing this, and should I be worried?

Accepted Answer

consult your neurologist

Question 2

I'm curious about any long-term effects of taking two Limcee tablets a day. I've been on them for about two months and noticed my immunity has improved a lot, so I'm thinking about continuing with them. Are there any concerns I should be aware of?

Accepted Answer

Potential Causes*

1. *Anxiety and stress*: As you mentioned, anxiety can contribute to an elevated heart rate and palpitations. Career and family concerns are common stressors.
2. *Caffeine intake*: Consuming 3-4 cups of tea per day may be contributing to your elevated heart rate. Caffeine can increase heart rate and blood pressure.
3. *Dehydration*: Inadequate hydration can cause an increase in heart rate. Ensure you're drinking enough water throughout the day.
4. *Electrolyte imbalance*: An imbalance of essential minerals like potassium, magnesium, or calcium can affect heart rate.
5. *Hypothyroidism*: An underactive thyroid gland can cause an elevated heart rate. However, this is less likely given your normal echo results.
6. *Mitral valve prolapse*: A condition where the mitral valve doesn't close properly, leading to palpitations and an elevated heart rate.

*Next Steps*

1. *Consult a cardiologist*: Schedule an appointment to discuss your symptoms and determine the best course of action.
2. *Reduce caffeine intake*: Try limiting your tea consumption to 1-2 cups per day to see if your heart rate improves.
3. *Stay hydrated*: Drink plenty of water throughout the day to ensure proper hydration.
4. *Monitor your heart rate*: Keep track of your heart rate and palpitations to identify any patterns or triggers.
5. *Consider stress management techniques*: Engage in stress-reducing activities like meditation, yoga, or deep breathing exercises to help manage anxiety.

Question 3

I'm really worried about the side effects of taking Paracetamol 500 mg, and I don't want to take it unless I really need to. Could you let me know at what temperature in Fahrenheit should I consider taking it? I'm trying to be cautious about it.

Paracetamol is a relatively safer antipyretic medication with little side effects. Maximum you can take is upto 4 tabs a day at 6 hour intervals after checking your body temperature if it's more than 100 degree f.
