My friend's been having this weird issue with her eyes flickering and randomly shutting for around 30 seconds, and its been going on for over 6 months. She uses reading glasses but her prescription hasn't changed. The neuro psychiatrist we saw prescribed serta, etilaam, and arpizol for 10 days, but it hasn't really made any difference. What do you recommend we do next?

I'm really worried about some persistent pain I've been experiencing. My right hand has been hurting for about 10 years now. It used to get worse whenever I lifted anything heavy, but lately, the pain has become constant, starting from my neck and down to the tip of my right hand. Do you have any idea what might be causing this, and is there anything I can do to alleviate it?

It sounds like you may have a nerve-related issue, such as cervical radiculopathy, which can cause pain radiating from the neck to the arm. Avoid heavy lifting, and consider seeing a neurologist or orthopedist for an MRI or detailed evaluation to pinpoint the cause and get relief.

I'm experiencing dizziness for the past 4 weeks. My ENT doctor prescribed STABLANZ PV and VERTIGON tablets, which help a lot when I take them. But when I stop, the dizziness and spinning in my head come right back. Does this sound like vertigo to you, or could it be something else? Also, any advice on how to get rid of this dizziness, or if there's anyone else I should consult?

I'm experiencing pain in my wrist and fingers on the left side of my arm, and it's been going on for two weeks. I had an ECG and an echo done, and both results came out normal, but the pain gets worse when I move my arm. I saw an orthopedic doctor, had a neck X-ray, and they said it might be related to neck issues. I'm really concerned and wonder if this arm pain could possibly be linked to any heart problems?

Based on the normal results of your ECG and echo tests, it is unlikely that your arm pain is related to heart issues. The orthopedic doctor's assessment that the pain is due to neck problems is more likely the cause of your wrist and finger pain in the left side of your arm. To help alleviate the pain, you can take over-the-counter pain relievers such as acetaminophen or ibuprofen. Additionally, your doctor may prescribe muscle relaxants or physical therapy to help with the neck issue.
