I'm really concerned about this numbness and tingling I feel on my left side sometimes. It's strange because I don't have high blood pressure or diabetes, though I do struggle with indigestion and I suspect some gas issues. My heartbeat and ECG are normal, and there's no history of heart problems in my family. I'm trying to figure out why these sensations happen. Should I see a cardiologist, or is there another specialist you recommend? This has got me feeling pretty nervous and unsure about what to do.

Based on your symptoms, it is possible that the numbness and tingling pain on the left side could be related to nerve compression or irritation. Since you mentioned that your heart beat and ECG are normal, it is less likely to be related to a cardiac issue. The indigestion and gas problems may also contribute to these symptoms due to referred pain. I recommend consulting a Neurologist for a detailed evaluation and further management. They can conduct specific tests to determine the exact cause of your symptoms and provide appropriate treatment. For your indigestion and gas issues, you can take over-the-counter antacids like "Ranitidine" 150mg twice daily before meals to help with the symptoms. Additionally, you can try simethicone-based medications like "Gas-X" to relieve gas discomfort. Make sure to follow up with a Neurologist for a comprehensive assessment.

View allI've been dealing with persistent headaches for the past six years and whenever I have one, I usually take either Migranil or Topaz. The problem is that these medications don't seem to provide quick relief. I'm getting frustrated and worried. Could there be a reason why they're not working that well for me? Is there anything else I can try or do differently?
Consider the Following_ 1. _Consult a doctor_: Schedule an appointment with your primary care physician or a pulmonologist to reassess your condition. 2. _Chest X-ray_: Get a chest X-ray to rule out any underlying lung conditions, such as pneumonia or bronchitis. 3. _Blood tests_: Your doctor may order blood tests to check for infections, inflammation, or other underlying conditions. 4. _Allergy testing_: If your doctor suspects allergies, they may recommend allergy testing to identify potential triggers. _Medication Adjustments_ 1. _Tasq DX syrup_: This syrup contains ambroxol, which helps loosen mucus. However, since it didn't provide relief, your doctor may recommend alternative expectorants. 2. _Green linctus BM_: This syrup contains a combination of ingredients, including menthol, eucalyptus, and terpineol. If this syrup didn't provide relief, your doctor may suggest other cough suppressants or combination products. _New Treatment Options_ 1. _Cough suppressants_: Your doctor may prescribe cough suppressants like codeine or dextromethorphan to help relieve your dry cough. 2. _Inhalers_: If your doctor suspects asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), they may prescribe inhalers to help manage your symptoms. 3. _Antihistamines_: If allergies are suspected, your doctor may recommend antihistamines to help alleviate your symptoms.

I'm experiencing headaches frequently and I'm really worried. I already visited an ENT doctor, but the headaches keep coming back. What could be causing them and should I see a different specialist?
Headaches can have various causes, including stress, dehydration, eye strain, or even underlying medical conditions. For relief, you can try taking acetaminophen (Tylenol) 500mg every 4-6 hours as needed for headache. Make sure to stay hydrated, practice good posture, and manage stress levels. If the headaches persist or worsen, it's important to follow up with your primary care physician for further evaluation and management.
