My mom has been feeling something really strange lately, like there's a movement on the left side of her head, almost like something's crawling inside. It's making her itch a lot, and we're not sure what to do. She's now feeling this crawling sensation in her thigh and arm too, but it happens more often in her head. She's been taking medicine for weak veins, and I'm worried if this is something serious. Can you guide us on who we should consult for this?

It sounds like your mother is experiencing unusual sensations, possibly related to nerve or circulation issues, especially with her history of weak veins. Its important to consult a neurologist or a vascular specialist for an accurate diagnosis and treatment. While it may not be dangerous, it's best to get it checked to rule out any serious conditions.

I've been experiencing this persistent pain above my eyebrows and it's really starting to worry me. I'm not sure what's causing it or how I should go about treating it. Can you help explain what might be going on and what steps I should take to feel better?

Pain above the eyebrows can be due to various reasons such as tension headaches, sinusitis, or eye strain. To treat it, you can take over-the-counter pain relievers like Acetaminophen 500mg every 4-6 hours as needed for pain relief. Additionally, applying a cold compress to the area can help reduce inflammation and pain. If the pain persists or worsens, it is advisable to consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.
