I'm suddenly feeling a shocking pain in my right leg, almost like electric shocks, and it hurts so much that I can't walk. It feels kind of like being paralyzed. What could be happening, and what should I do?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
The sudden onset of severe electric shock-like sensations, aching, and paralysis in your right leg, making it difficult to walk, could indicate a neurological emergency, such as a herniated disk, spinal cord compression, peripheral neuropathy, or even a stroke; seek immediate medical attention at the emergency room

View allI'm experiencing numbness during the night in my pinky and ring finger on my left hand. It's been happening for the last couple of months, almost 5 to 6 times a week, and I'm not sure if it's due to the way I'm sleeping or another health issue. Any idea what might be going on?
The red dots on your penis head could be caused by various factors, such as: Fordyce spots (benign, small bumps) Pearly penile papules (small, harmless growths) Folliculitis (inflammation of hair follicles) Since you're experiencing minimal itching, it's likely not a serious condition. Consult a dermatologist or a urologist for a proper examination and diagnosis. Avoid scratching or popping the bumps, as this can lead to infection or scarring.

I've had this constant heaviness in my head since July 2013 and it's really affecting my balance when I'm walking or standing. It feels like there's pressure moving around in my head all the time. When it first started, I was feeling dizzy constantly and I couldn't hear properly for like ten days. This all happened after I experienced some dizziness and I was on Mala D pills for about seven to eight months because of my PCOD. Back then, I even felt balance problems while standing during my PCOD treatment. I've tried anxiety meds but they didn't help for long. I'm not sure what's going on but I've been on different medications since, and nothing has worked. Right now, there's constant pressure around my head, I'm always tired and dizzy, and my energy is super low. I can't stand still without feeling this heaviness moving around. It's so frustrating and I can't really describe how weird it makes me feel. Plus, I don't get my periods without medicine... because of PCOD. Could you please help me figure out what's happening?
It sounds like you may be experiencing symptoms related to vestibular migraine, which can cause a variety of symptoms including dizziness, imbalance, and pressure in the head. The history of giddiness, balance problems, and ongoing symptoms like tiredness, dizziness, and low energy are suggestive of this condition. To help manage these symptoms, you can try taking preventive medications such as Amitriptyline
