I'm experiencing a burning sensation in the top of my head, occasional blurred vision in my left eye, left-sided jaw and tooth pain, pressure in my face, and numbness on the left side of my throat when swallowing. I started feeling these symptoms yesterday around 6 pm. I also have a history of sinus and allergy problems, including asthma, and recently had a sinus infection treated with a steroid shot and antibiotics. I had a septoplasty last July and there is a family history of heart disease and stroke. Could these symptoms be related to my sinus infection or are they signs of a stroke or transient ischemic attack (TIA)?

I started having mild night sweats after visiting Tijuana, Mexico. The night sweats started the night of my arrival, and I also had a dry cough, migraines, and flu-like symptoms days before. How likely is it for a virus to cause night sweats hours after infection or exposure, and can my body react that fast to a viral exposure/infection?

I had an abortion on 9/16 and started LoEstrin right after, but I still haven't gotten my period. I am currently taking 40mg of Humira and Rifampin for HS. Would these medications impact the effectiveness of the birth control?

My husband is 68 years old and has been experiencing numbness in his toes and hands for some time. He also has arthritis in his hands and had a small heart attack about 7 months ago due to a blocked artery, for which he now has a stent. What could be causing this numbness, and is it related to a nerve issue?
