Ive been having trouble sleeping in my bed because my body gets totally numb. Its gotten to the point where Ive started sleeping on the floor instead. But even when I use a soft pillow, my head still goes numb. Is there any way to fix this? I'm really worried about what's going on.

Numbness in any part of body indicates some involvement of nerves. It could be due to bad posture or nerve compression. If it is due to improper posture, it will resolve with correction of posture. If numbness is persistent, Consult a Neurospine specialist.

View allI've been dealing with persistent headaches for the past six years and whenever I have one, I usually take either Migranil or Topaz. The problem is that these medications don't seem to provide quick relief. I'm getting frustrated and worried. Could there be a reason why they're not working that well for me? Is there anything else I can try or do differently?
Consider the Following_ 1. _Consult a doctor_: Schedule an appointment with your primary care physician or a pulmonologist to reassess your condition. 2. _Chest X-ray_: Get a chest X-ray to rule out any underlying lung conditions, such as pneumonia or bronchitis. 3. _Blood tests_: Your doctor may order blood tests to check for infections, inflammation, or other underlying conditions. 4. _Allergy testing_: If your doctor suspects allergies, they may recommend allergy testing to identify potential triggers. _Medication Adjustments_ 1. _Tasq DX syrup_: This syrup contains ambroxol, which helps loosen mucus. However, since it didn't provide relief, your doctor may recommend alternative expectorants. 2. _Green linctus BM_: This syrup contains a combination of ingredients, including menthol, eucalyptus, and terpineol. If this syrup didn't provide relief, your doctor may suggest other cough suppressants or combination products. _New Treatment Options_ 1. _Cough suppressants_: Your doctor may prescribe cough suppressants like codeine or dextromethorphan to help relieve your dry cough. 2. _Inhalers_: If your doctor suspects asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), they may prescribe inhalers to help manage your symptoms. 3. _Antihistamines_: If allergies are suspected, your doctor may recommend antihistamines to help alleviate your symptoms.

I'm really worried about my husband. He's 33 and has been experiencing chest pain for the past three months, as well as dizziness, like he's about to fall down. He also has upper back pain. We've done full cardiac tests, checked sugar levels, blood pressure, urine tests, and even had an endoscopy, but everything came back normal. Despite that, he's still not feeling well. Every morning he wakes up dizzy and feels sleepy all the time. We've already seen cardiac and gastro specialists, but we still can't figure out what's wrong. Could you please advise which kind of doctor we should see next?
