I've been working in a pharmaceutical industry for 29 years, and recently, due to my morning shifts, I'm only getting about 5-6 hours of sleep. Last night, out of nowhere, I fainted. It all started with feeling lightheaded, stiff, and shaky, my eyes even rolled up, and I was sweating a lot. I called my husband just before I lost consciousness, and I don't remember anything for a few seconds. He kind of shook me, and everything felt like it was spinning. After a bit, I got stable and then ended up puking everything out. This whole thing has me really worried. Could this be something serious?

I'm experiencing this pain in my hands and feet when I walk, and it's got me a bit worried. There's also this weird numbness in my fingers at night when I'm trying to sleep. Could this be peripheral neuropathy? What should I do about it?

Suffering from peripheral neuropathy with pain in hands and feet while walking and numbness in fingers at night during sleep. This condition can be managed with medications such as Gabapentin (Neurontin) starting at 300mg taken orally once a day at bedtime, then titrated up to 300mg three times a day.

I've been really worried about my mom. She's had these frequent head pains for nearly 24 years now, and more recently, her feet have started burning for the past 3 years. We've already consulted several doctors, including a BHMS and a general physician, but its just getting increasingly unbearable for her. Could you give me some advice on what we should do next?
