I've been dealing with terminal neuralgia for over 10 years and take 200-300mg of Medicine 56 daily, sometimes up to 8 pills if the pain gets unbearable. My doctor says brain surgery is the only option, but it's too risky. Are there any ayurvedic or homeopathic treatments that could help with this condition?

I'm having this heaviness in my head that's been going on for about 15 days now, and there's a bit of pain on the left side of my neck too. On top of that, I've been dealing with a cold. I'm really worried about the heaviness in my head. Could it be something serious?

That could be Sinusitis,no need to worry, visit ENT doctor for evaluation and appropriate management.

I'm not sure what's going on, but I've been having these weird internal vibrations, mostly in my legs. It's almost like there's electricity running through them. I took PPIs for about 46 days, but they didn't help at all. I'm also noticing my muscle mass is just wasting away; my legs, chest, stomach, hands, everything feels soft and kinda loose. I can literally pull at the skin. Besides the vibrations, I'm dealing with weakness, some vision loss, numbness, and difficulty breathing, especially when I'm reading or working. With the lockdowns happening, it's been tough to get help. Can you please help me figure out what this might be and suggest any medications or treatments?

Possible Causes: 1. *Vitamin deficiencies*: Lack of vitamins like B12, magnesium, or potassium can cause muscle weakness, numbness, and internal vibrations. 2. *Neurological issues*: Conditions like peripheral neuropathy, multiple sclerosis, or Parkinson's disease can cause muscle weakness, numbness, and vibrations. 3. *Hormonal imbalances*: Thyroid disorders, adrenal insufficiency, or hormonal changes can cause muscle weakness, fatigue, and other symptoms. 4. *Medication side effects*: Certain medications, such as those used to treat depression, anxiety, or high blood pressure, can cause muscle weakness, numbness, and vibrations. General Advice: 1. *Consult a doctor*: Schedule an appointment with your primary care physician or a specialist (e.g., neurologist, endocrinologist) to discuss your symptoms. 2. *Blood tests*: Get blood tests to check for vitamin deficiencies, hormonal imbalances, and other potential underlying conditions. 3. *Neurological examination*: A doctor may perform a neurological examination to assess your muscle strength, reflexes, and sensation. 4. *Medication review*: Inform your doctor about any medications you're taking, as they may be contributing to your symptoms. 1. *Stay hydrated*: Drink plenty of water to help your body function properly. 2. *Rest*: Get plenty of rest to help your body recover. 3. *Balanced diet*: Eat a balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean protein sources.
