I'm really concerned about something unusual that happened today. My friend experienced twisting of her tongue a couple of times at different intervals. We went to see a general physician who checked her vitals and said everything seemed normal. However, he recommended we get an MRI or a CT scan done. Now, I'm wondering if we should also consult a neurologist. Does this situation typically require a specialist? Would love to hear your thoughts on this.

I took an Alfoo tablet before bed about a month ago, and a strange thing happened. Around five hours later, I went to use the washroom, and on my way back, I suddenly fell unconscious. After a little while, I sat up and spoke, but then I blacked out again. Could this be from the Alfoo tablet? Does it mean I might be allergic to it? I haven't taken any other medication or passed out since then, so I'm a bit concerned. Any insights?

it just might be a sideeffect of that medicine, drink plenty of water next time with that medicine
