Question 1

Is Numbness a serious problem?

Accepted Answer

Numbness is most commonly associated with some type of nerve damage, irritation, or compression. When numbness occurs without other symptoms, it doesn't typically represent a medical emergency. However, numbness can be a symptom of a serious condition if it occurs alongside symptoms such as: numbness on one whole side of body, sudden onset, dizziness/giddiness. One can not totally differentiate the cause unless examined by an expert, so it is suggestable to consult a doctor.

Question 2

I've been noticing that whenever I'm stressed out, I get pain in my left arm and sometimes in my left hand, along with this tingling sensation. It's worse after nights when I've slept poorly. Plus, there's this spot on the left side of my head that also starts hurting around the same time. Should I be worried about this? What could be causing these symptoms?

Accepted Answer

It sounds like you may be experiencing symptoms of nerve compression or pinched nerves, especially since the pain is associated with tingling sensations. To help alleviate these symptoms, you can try taking over-the-counter pain relievers such as acetaminophen or ibuprofen. Additionally, you can use a topical pain relief cream containing diclofenac applied to the affected area. It is also important to practice stress-reducing techniques such as deep breathing exercises or meditation to help manage your symptoms. If the pain persists, I recommend consulting with a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.

Question 3

I'm dealing with constant giddiness but my BP seems fine. I've also been having neck muscle pain. Could my dizziness be linked to my neck issues?

Accepted Answer

it can be due to Cervical vertigo
Also known as cervicogenic dizziness, this condition can be caused by inflammation, joint issues, or trauma. Other symptoms include vision issues, nausea, and lack of coordination. Poor posture, such as "text neck", can also contribute to cervical vertigo. 
Neck muscle spasms
Strong neck muscle contractions can cause dizziness, balance issues, vision changes, and fatigue. 
Cervical disc herniation
When a disc in the neck herniates, the gel inside can irritate a nearby nerve, causing pain in the neck, head, upper back, or arm. Other symptoms include weakness, numbness, and tingling. 
Stress and anxiety
Less common symptoms of anxiety include neck pain, dizziness, or light-headedness. 
Low blood sugar so consult general physician
A sharp drop in blood sugar can cause dizziness, especially when waking up
