It's understandable to feel concerned about the sensations you’re experiencing. The “tap tap” feeling above your ear may be due to muscle spasms or tension in that area. This can happen from stress, fatigue, or posture issues. While it's likely not life-threatening, I recommend scheduling an appointment with a neurologist to discuss your symptoms in detail. They can provide a thorough examination and suggest appropriate treatments, such as relaxation techniques or physical therapy, if necessary.

My grandfather age is 69 he had second brain strike and he unable to eat and speak but after 3 month now he able to speak slow slow and today he got anger and eat food by himself without asked anyone after I asked him is any problem to swallow food he said no problem and easy to swallow so please doctor suggest me can we start giving him food by mouth

Male | 69

The symptoms of difficulty eating and speaking are the general ones that occur after a brain stroke. It may be attributed to the muscles used for swallowing being weak. Seeing that he mentioned no problem swallowing and eating by himself, you can slowly start to give him food by mouth. Begin with soft, easy-to-swallow foods and keep track of his progress. Do not forget to communicate with his healthcare team along the way.

My legs are having weakness. Feel like sleeping a lot. Neck pain due to cervical slso. Don't feel like eating anything

Female | 48

You seem to feel weakened as your legs are not strong. Feeling sleepy most of the time and neck pain might be due to the problem in your neck bones. Not being hungry is also one of the consequences of the issue. Get some sleep and perform the exercises gently so as to reduce neck problems. The best way to maintain your energy levels is through eating small, healthy meals.

And then after it goes away still there is weakness, like I feel extreme weakness. What can it be?

Female | 18

The type of headaches you are having, which more often than not, are very intense, with earache, dizziness, and hypersensitivity to light and sound, all symptoms suggest a likely migraine. Migraines occur when your brain is hypersensitive to the things that your body would normally be able to cope with such as stress, lack of sleep, or even something you eat. To achieve the goal of migraine control, you can use a headache diary, stay hydrated, be well-rested, and avoid the triggers. Even if the symptoms get more serious or become a major obstacle in your everyday activities, it's always a good move to seek medical advice from a healthcare practitioner.

I am 24 year old and I m having stiffness in my head feel pinching irritation and feels empty like feeling very quick and tired

Female | 24

Hey, Welcome to ClinicSpots. We understand your concerns and are here to provide guidance.

Feeling stiffness, pinching irritation, and a sense of emptiness in your head could indicate various underlying factors. These symptoms may stem from stress, anxiety, or even migraines. Stress often manifests as tension headaches or a feeling of pressure in the head. It's also possible these symptoms could be related to migraines, which can cause throbbing pain and sensitivity to light and sound. Additionally, conditions like anxiety can contribute to sensations of head stiffness and quick fatigue. It's important to consider any recent changes in your lifestyle or stress levels that might be triggering these symptoms.

Next Steps to Follow

  1. Consult a Healthcare Professional: Schedule an appointment with a neurologist or a primary care physician to discuss your symptoms in detail. They can conduct a thorough evaluation to determine the underlying cause.
  2. Medical Evaluation: Your doctor may recommend diagnostic tests such as imaging studies or blood tests to rule out neurological conditions or other health issues.
  3. Lifestyle Modifications: Practice stress management techniques, and gentle exercises like yoga or meditation, and maintain a regular sleep schedule to support overall well-being and manage symptoms.
  4. Follow-up: Keep track of any changes in your symptoms and follow up with your healthcare provider as advised.

 

Health Tip

Incorporate relaxation techniques into your daily routine to help alleviate symptoms. Deep breathing exercises and gentle stretches can help reduce tension and promote relaxation.

Head pain problems back said too painful my self

Male | 36

Your head hurts and your back too. This can be a result of nervousness, worry, and you might not even notice your sitting or looking at a screen. Give yourself time to walk around, stretch, and perform relaxation methods. You can also apply a warm compress to the painful areas and exercise walking Somewhat slow, easy walking, and jogging are also good for the body. And if the pain is still there, let a specialist examine it.

I have had a headache for 4 days now and 2 out of the 4 days have been migraine like headaches

Female | 19

Migraine­s can be very hard. They ofte­n come with throbbing pain in your head. You may fee­l sick to your stomach. Light and sounds make it worse. Not enough sle­ep and stress can cause migraine­s. Some foods can start them too. Make sure­ you eat good stuff. Drink lots of water. Get lots of re­st. If headaches kee­p happening, talk to a doctor.

I am 21 year old female and I have been feeling my legs and hands go numb quite often in a day. I have also started doing yoga recently if this concerns and 2-3 months back I got my blood tests done and found out vitamin B12 level to be low. Also this whole covidshield causing blood clots scare me.

Female | 21

Hey, it looks like your legs and hands are getting numb, which could mean your vitamin B12 levels are low. This happens when there isn’t enough B12 to keep your nerves functioning properly. Yoga is great but won’t do it all by itself. Make sure to eat foods like meat, fish and dairy that have lots of B12 in them. Talk to a doctor about checking out your levels of B12 if you haven’t already.

Sir some times my hand stomach leg also beating what is this problem

Male | 19

It seems that you may have this condition called palpitations. You may feel that your heart is beating fast or irregularly in your hands, stomach, or legs in this case. Anxiety, stress, too much caffeine, or a lack of sleep may sometimes contribute to this issue. Relax, keep away from caffeinated drinks, sleep well, and visit your family doctor if you feel potential disturbances.
