Why Do I Have Numbness and Burning Sensation?

Patient's Query

Assalam-o-Alaikum, How r u, I am currently experiencing mild numbness and a burning sensation in my left foot, calf, and left hand. My right biceps also have the same condition. I don't know it's start suddenly....any idea why it's happening??

Answered by Dr. Gurneet Sawhney

Sensations in the foot, calf, hand, and biceps could be due to various reasons, such as nerve compression, vitamin deficiencies, or even issues with blood flow. It's essential to get a thorough evaluation from a neurologist to pinpoint the exact cause. In the meantime, try to avoid putting pressure on these areas, keep yourself hydrated, and consider gentle stretching exercises.

I have migraine aura i was concerned whether i have a blood clot in my head or not. Can u please help

Female | 21

Migraine aura involves visual disturbances before a headache, while a blood clot is a serious issue needing prompt attention. If you're worried about symptoms, talk to a neurologist to ensure an accurate diagnosis and proper care.

My sister had a RTA last year in which she had a paraplegic spinal cord injury,she is doing physiotherapy since one year still can't walk without calipers,has no sensation,she is 20 years old

Female | 20

A spinal cord issue such as hers might result in weakness of stepping and the absence of the sense of touch. It occurs when the spinal cord sustains damage, generally from events such as a car ramming into it. Exercise makes muscles stronger, but full recovery might not be attained.

People are tired for many different reasons such as not sleeping enough, stress, and underlying health problems like anemia or thyroid disease. I would recommend that he eats well, gets enough sleep, and talks to a doctor if his fatigue is not getting better because of something more serious.

For the past 3 weeks now maybe longer I’ve been experiencing severe headaches. I ended up going to hospital for a head CT but they never did one and just put it down to stress which I know it’s not the case there’s definitely something wrong. I returned to work yesterday and was completely fine until I woke up this morning with a severe headache again and in pain all over. My throat has swelled up and I’ve been vomiting all day. I’ve taken codeine that has eased the pain a bit. I just don’t know what to do or what could be causing this. My GP has been no help either and I can’t continue risking taking anymore time off work

Female | 18

Having severe headaches, throwing up, swelling of the throat, and general body weakness is odd. It could be an indication of a serious problem that needs immediate attention. You should see a doctor who will carry out proper examinations and tests to establish the root cause. If possible, think about getting a second opinion without any delay.

Dear Dr. My 15 year old has been diagnosed with generalized tonic clonic epilepsy. He has done 2 eegs. 1st eeg (done November 23) said it posterior dominant rhythm was 12 hz. The 2nd one (done November 24) said it's posterior dominant rhythm is 9 hz. 1st eeg: bilateral synchronous anterior predominant spikewave epiltiform recorded occuring isolated or 400-600 ms. 2nd eeg: bilateral synchronous anterior predominant spikewave epiltiform recorded at maximal @ FP@,F4,F8,FP1,F3,F7 in 600 ms. Stage II was obtained. Is there improvement between the 2 or has it worsened slightly? The Conclusiofor the 2nd was This was an abnormal awake, drowsy and stage II sleep electroencephalogram. Bilateral synchronous anteriorly predominant spike-wave epileptiform discharges were recorded as described above. In the correct clinical setting, these findings are suggestive of a genetic generalized epilepsy with the differential diagnosis of a frontal focus with rapid secondary bilateral synchrony. Is the conclusion serious?

Male | 15

Dear Parent, Thank you for your inquiry. The EEG results show some epileptiform activity that is ongoing, which can be of great concern. The change from a 12 Hz to a 9 Hz rhythm and being assured of the findings suggests that although there is some activity, it does not necessarily represent a change of the situation; rather, it may just indicate differences in the EEG readings. The summary implies that the patient may have a genetically generalized epilepsy that is treatable with continuous medical care. Please, I advise you to analyze the mentioned details with your doctor in order to have the necessary treatment and your child's support get quality. Best wishes, [Your Name]

A daytime sleep schedule not only helps a patient with fibromyalgia to get better but is also of paramount importance to them to avoid sleeping after midnight. Sleep can aggravate or diminish pain, tiredness, and even exacerbations. Adjusting the sleep schedule 3-4 hours before midnight might be a good way to augment sleep quality. Convince your mother to give sleep a priority so that she can not only reduce what she is experiencing but also have better overall health.

"Hello, I am a 23-year-old woman weighing 36 kg. I ingested 50 mg of amitriptyline all at once on Sunday, December 1, 2024, at 1 pm. After the ingestion, I slept for around 24 hours and did not experience any severe symptoms during the first 48 hours, which made me believe I was in the clear. My prescribed dose is 10 mg twice a day for amitriptyline. I have IBS. However, I am now experiencing dizziness and lightheadedness, which started today, December 3, 2024, at 8 pm. This symptom did not occur earlier, and I am concerned that it might be related to the overdose. Could this dizziness or lightheadedness be a delayed effect of the overdose? Is this symptom potentially serious, and should I take any immediate actions or seek further medical evaluation? Should I wait before resuming my regular prescribed dose of amitriptyline, or do I need to undergo any tests or monitoring before restarting my medication?"

Female | 23

It is possible to experience dizziness and lightheadedness following consumption of higher doses of amitriptyline, even in a delayed manner. Considering your weight and the amount you took, it will be important to keep an eye on these symptoms. I urge you to go to a healthcare professional for assessment as quickly as you can.

I have been diagnosed with bells palsy for the past 2 weeks, so I want the best medicine?

Male | 24

For bells palsy consult a neurologist from a well known hospital in India or ENT specialist, for personalized treatment. There are a few common treatments like corticosteroids to reduce inflammation, eye care to protect the affected eye, and possibly physical therapy. There's no one size fits all medicine for this condition, so follow your doctor's advice for the most effective treatment plan for your needs.

جسم کا اچانک سے سن ہو جانا ۔۔۔ پہلے کوئ مسئلہ نہیں اچانک سے جسم سن ہو جاتا ہے اس طرح کبھی کبھی ہوتا ہے مطلب جب کوئ بہت زیادہ ٹینشن ہو جائے تب

Female | 40

جسم کا اچانک سن ہو جانا کچھ وجوہات کی بنا پر ہو سکتا ہے، جیسے ذہنی دباؤ، بے حوصلگی یا جسمانی تھکاوٹ۔ جب آپ تناؤ میں ہوتے ہیں، تو جسم کی مخصوص نروز متاثر ہو سکتی ہیں، جس کی وجہ سے یہ احساس پیدا ہوتا ہے۔ اگر یہ حالت مسلسل ہورہی ہے تو بہتر ہے کہ آپ کسی ڈاکٹر سے مشورہ کریں۔ روزانہ ورزش، گہرے سانس لینے کی مشقیں یا یوگا کرنے سے مدد مل سکتی ہے۔ صحت مند طرز زندگی اپنانا بھی معاون ثابت ہو سکتا ہے۔ یاد رکھیں، صحت کا خیال رکھنا بہت اہم ہے۔
