I'm having this weird tingling sensation in my left eye, almost like when you feel a pulse or beat in a nerve. My eyelids twitch a bit when it happens too. It's been going on for about 45 days now. I'm wondering if this might be what we call "aankh fadakna" in Hindi. What could be causing this?

This sensation you are experiencing in your left eye, known as eyelid twitching or myokymia, is usually benign and can be caused by stress, fatigue, caffeine, or eye strain. To help alleviate this symptom, you can try using lubricating eye drops and practicing stress-relief techniques. Additionally, you can take a supplement containing magnesium to help relax the muscles.

I'm experiencing these frequent pins and needles sensations in my left chest and it's been going on for a couple of months now. I've already had an ECG and an echo, and they didn't find anything wrong. Do you have any ideas on what might be causing this or how I can find some relief? It's starting to really bug me and I'm a bit worried.

I'm really worried because he's been having these severe headaches, almost like migraines, for the past 2 to 3 years. They often come with vomiting too. Could you suggest any medication that might help or recommend some tests we should consider? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Symptoms are indicative of migraine. You should visit a physician to determine the type of migraine. Only then can the appropriate medication be prescribed. Commonly used medication include, Naxdom (Naproxen + Domperidone), Sumatriptan, Celecoxib etc.
