I'm really concerned because I recently found out I have an 8mm calcified focus on the left side of my brain. Can you explain what this might mean? Should I be worried about it? What could have caused this, and what are the potential effects or treatments? I just need some clarity on what I should expect or do next.

I'm currently taking sibelium 10g every day, and I've been feeling really sleepy all the time. Could this medication be the reason?

I'm really curious about something to do with migraines. When you have a migraine headache and you touch your forehead, is it supposed to feel hot or cold? I'm trying to understand what the typical sensation is during these headaches. Would love to hear your thoughts.

vDuring a migraine, the forehead is often warm or hot to the touch due to vasodilation (widening of blood vessels), which is a characteristic feature of migraines, although some people may experience a cold or clammy sensation, particularly if they are experiencing nausea or anxiety.
