Why am I experiencing frequent lightheadedness and unbalanced feelings?
These symptoms can be caused by various factors, including changes in vision, dehydration, or even stress. Since you've recently updated your glasses, it may take time for your eyes and brain to adjust. I recommend staying well-hydrated, taking breaks between tasks, and practicing relaxation techniques. However, if these sensations continue or worsen, consulting a healthcare professional is wise to rule out any underlying issues and ensure your well-being.

Why is my balance still not improving?
The dizziness or spinning sensation you described may signal an issue with your inner ear or balance system. While medications can help, sometimes they are not enough on their own. I recommend following up with a neurologist to discuss your current medication and explore other potential treatments. Occupational therapy or vestibular rehabilitation may also be beneficial. Always prioritize your health, and seeking further assistance will help you find a solution.

Why do I have sciatic and radial nerve pain?
Shifting discomfort in your arms can arise from various causes, such as nerve irritation, muscle strain, or overuse, particularly with weightlifting. Sciatica may contribute to some nerve-related issues, but it's essential to differentiate between conditions like radial tunnel syndrome and other potential causes. I recommend you take a break from heavy lifting, focus on stretching, and strengthen your core muscles. Additionally, consulting a neurologist for an accurate diagnosis is important to develop a tailored treatment plan that addresses your specific situation effectively.
