Question 1

I'm noticing I've had poor blood circulation for about a week now. When I keep my hands raised for just a few seconds, they start tingling and getting numb. Could you let me know which type of doctor I should consult for this? Is it related to a nerve problem? Which medical specialty would this fall under?

Question 2

I'm having a tough time with my anxiety disorder lately. Suddenly, I'm feeling this odd tingling in my hands, plus stomach pains, my elbows burning, back pain, and sometimes it's hard to catch my breath. I'm also sweating way more than I used to, especially in my hands, feet, and forehead. And when I'm lying down, I can feel this really strong pulse in my hands and at the bottom left of my feet. It's super weird because I've had a ton of tests like ECGs and stress tests, and they all showed up normal.

I also have POTS and my heart feels like it's racing even if I'm just walking. And with Raynaud's syndrome, it used to just affect my hands but now it's all over my body, leaving these red patches and it feels like prickly burns. My gums have started bleeding too, and my wisdom tooth has been hurting like crazy, especially when I eat. The pain after stress is baffling, thoughit only lasts for a few hours. Could you help me figure out what might be going on and what I should do next?

It sounds like you are experiencing a variety of symptoms related to your anxiety disorder, POTS, and Raynaud's syndrome. The tingling in hands, stomach pains, burning sensation, elbow and back pains, shortness of breath, excessive sweating, strong pulse sensation in hands and feet, as well as the red patches and burning sensation all over your body are likely related to your underlying conditions. To help manage your symptoms, you can consider the following medications: - For anxiety and panic attacks, you can try taking **Clonazepam** 0.5mg twice daily as needed. - For stomach pains and burning sensation, you can take **Omeprazole** 20mg once daily before breakfast. - For pain relief in your elbows and back, you can take **Ibuprofen** 400mg every 6-8 hours as needed. - For excessive sweating, **Glycopyrrolate** 2mg once daily can be helpful. - For Raynaud's syndrome, **Nifedipine** 30mg extended-release once daily can help improve blood flow. - For dental pain from your wisdom tooth, you can take **Acetaminophen** 500mg every 6 hours as needed for pain relief. It's important to follow up with your healthcare provider regularly to monitor your conditions and adjust your treatment plan as needed.

Question 3

I'm a bit worried because my right ring finger starts shaking whenever I try to keep my hand straight with the fingers spread apart. I haven't had any injuries, and there's no pain. Could you help me understand what's going on?

Visit your Physician for appropriate management

You seem to be suffering from vestibular migraine. You may need long term migraine prophylaxis. Simple anti vertigo medicines are not really useful
