Is Numbness a serious problem?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Numbness is most commonly associated with some type of nerve damage, irritation, or compression. When numbness occurs without other symptoms, it doesn't typically represent a medical emergency. However, numbness can be a symptom of a serious condition if it occurs alongside symptoms such as: numbness on one whole side of body, sudden onset, dizziness/giddiness. One can not totally differentiate the cause unless examined by an expert, so it is suggestable to consult a doctor.

View allI'm having some issues with my hands; there's this strange tingling or jhanjhanahat that I can't shake off. It feels like my immunity isn't up to par lately, and I'm also feeling really cold all the time. Can you help me understand what's going on?
Postnasal drip or nasal discharge can be a concern. Possible causes: 1. _Allergies_: Seasonal or environmental allergies can trigger excess mucus production. 2. _Sinusitis_: Inflammation or infection of the sinuses can cause nasal discharge. 3. _Anatomical issues_: Deviated septum, nasal polyps, or other structural problems can contribute to nasal discharge. 4. _Infections_: Cold, flu, or other respiratory infections can cause nasal discharge. To address the issue: 1. _Consult an ENT specialist_: Rule out underlying conditions that may require medical attention. 2. _Use saline nasal sprays_: Help moisturize the nasal passages and thin out mucus. 3. _Try steam inhalation_: Ease congestion and promote mucus clearance. 4. _Maintain good hygiene_: Regularly clean your nose and surroundings to prevent infection. Monitor your symptoms and seek medical attention if: 1. _Discharge is yellow or green_: May indicate infection. 2. _Discharge is bloody_: Requires immediate medical attention. 3. _Symptoms worsen or persist_: Consult your doctor for further guidance.

I'm really curious about this twitching thing I've had going on. The extreme right corner of my eyebrow has been twitching for about a week now, and it's happening in intervals. It's starting to worry me a bit. Why do you think it's not going away? Any guidance would be appreciated.

I'm experiencing this strange internal vibration or buzzing sensation throughout my body, especially in my legs. It really becomes noticeable when I'm sitting or lying down almost like an electric current running through me. I've been on PPIs like ranitidine, rabeprazole, and omeprazole recently, though I only took the first two for a day each and omeprazole for four days. They also prescribed gabapentin, but I haven't tried it yet because I'm worried about the side effects. It's been weeks now, and while I initially thought this was all due to some acidity or acid reflux, what scares me more is my muscle mass seems to be disappearing. I can press or pull my muscles too easily, and sometimes I feel weak or numb and even have trouble breathing while reading or studying. What's going on with me?
you may have vitamin B12 deficiency.
