I've been getting these strange muscle twitches in my bicep on the left arm. They aren't constant, but I've noticed them more when I'm just chilling out. It doesn't hurt or really bother me physically, but each time it happens, I can't help but feel a bit on edge and worried. What could be causing this, and should I be concerned? Just trying to understand what's going on.

Can I split a Combiflam 400mg tablet in half for my sciatica pain? I'm not sure if it's safe or effective to take just half the dose. Would that still help with the pain?

I'm really concerned about this intense burning sensation my dad is experiencing throughout his entire body. It seems to get worse at night, to the point where he finds it unbearable. He's already taking medication for a prostate issue, high cholesterol, and a sleep aid, plus blood pressure medicine. We've found out his calcium, potassium, and sodium levels are really low. Could these low levels be causing the burning sensation, or is it related to his other health conditions? I'm really worried and looking for some advice on what might be going on.
