I've been experiencing a weird sensation in my left hand where the palm nerve seems to be beating, and it's also a bit painful. I went to the doctor, but I haven't had much relief. Is this something I should be worried about? Any advice on what might be going on?

I'm really worried about my dad. He's been having a lot of trouble remembering daily stuff, like whether he had tea or took a bath. Lately, he's even started forgetting things from way back, like my grandfather passing away 15 years ago. We saw a neurologist, and they think it might be a form of dementia. My dad's cardiologist prescribed him Somazina Plus. Do you think that's helpful? What should we do next in terms of treatment or care?
