I've been feeling a bit lightheaded and dizzy in the evenings over the last couple of days, almost like my head is wrapped up in something. It reminds me of wearing a cap or helmet. Any ideas on what might be causing this?

What is a pre stroke?

A pre stroke is also known as a transient ischemic attack (TIA). It is nothing but a small stroke. It is experienced when blood supply to brain is stopped for a very short period. Its effects may be experienced for a few hours or for a few minutes. The symptoms usually subside within 24 hours. They begin rapidly, and they go away very soon.

I've been experiencing a lot of pain in my right arm whenever I cough. It's like this electric current that starts from my armpit and goes all the way to my elbow. I recently got over a cold and have been coughing really hard. Is this something I should be worried about?

This type of pain that radiates from the armpit to the elbow when coughing could be indicative of a condition known as brachial neuritis or brachial plexus neuropathy. To help alleviate the pain, you can take over-the-counter pain relievers such as acetaminophen or ibuprofen. Additionally, a muscle relaxant like cyclobenzaprine may also be beneficial. However, it is important to consult with your healthcare provider for a proper diagnosis and treatment plan.
