I'm really worried about my mom's condition. She's been having this burning sensation in both her legs, and despite visiting several doctors, we're still not sure what's going on. We've heard it could be related to the sciatica nerve, varicose veins, or even complications from the hip replacement surgery she had five years ago. Could you help us figure out the exact cause?

I've been having this weird head spinning feeling, like there's pressure in my head, and I've been feeling super weak. It's been hard to get a good night's sleep too. Honestly, I think stress and overthinking might have something to do with it, but I'm not sure. What do you think I should do?

Given your symptoms of occasional head spinning, pressure in the head, weakness, stress, and overthinking, consider consulting a primary care physician or a neurologist to rule out underlying medical conditions, such as anxiety disorders, migraines, or inner ear issues, and discuss stress management techniques, like meditation, deep breathing, or cognitive-behavioral therapy.
