I'm starting to feel concerned about my health because I've been experiencing a heavy tongue and slurred speech sometimes. I've already checked for any kind of stroke, and thankfully, that came back negative. I've been feeling quite distraught and restless occasionally. I used to be diagnosed with sleep apnea, but I've been using a CPAP machine, and my sleep has improved quite a lot since then. Despite that, I sometimes notice muscle weakness in my thighs and calves, and I also have lower back pain. An MRI showed that I have a bulging disc that's pressing on my nerves. I'm really perplexed about the heavy tongue and would love some insights on why that might be happening.

I'm experiencing this weird rise in my body temperature on my palms, soles, back, and neck every evening for about 2-3 hours, but I don't have any other symptoms. I got all sorts of tests done, like CBC, HIV, typhoid, and malaria, and they all came back normal. However, I recently found out my Vitamin B12 is pretty low at 140, so I've started taking medicine and injections for that. But what I'm really worried about is what's causing this burning sensation in those areas. Can you help figure out what's going on?

Instead, consider: 1. _Exercise_: Focus on stretches, yoga, and posture-improving exercises. 2. _Nutrition_: Ensure adequate calcium, vitamin D, and protein intake. 3. _Sleep_: Prioritize 7-8 hours of sleep for optimal growth hormone production.

I'm really curious about this twitching thing I've had going on. The extreme right corner of my eyebrow has been twitching for about a week now, and it's happening in intervals. It's starting to worry me a bit. Why do you think it's not going away? Any guidance would be appreciated.
