Today, the headache became extremely severe (08/10), especially after prolonged exposure to sunlight and heat. My symptoms: - Headaches affecting sometimes temple head or back of the head. - Severe headache today. Currently, I have heaviness at the back of my head without significant pain. - The heaviness increases when I lie down, even with a pillow, and reduces somewhat when I sit or stand. - I did not sleep properly last night. - My BP today was 130/80 mmHg, and my pulse was 70 bpm. Medical history: - History of hypertension. - Taking Met XL 25 mg for several years.

Sudden loss of control in right hand

My friend suddenly experienced a loss of control or weakness in their right hand around 12:30 AM while using computer. The episode lasted approximately one minute, after which their hand returned to normal. There were no other noticeable symptoms. What could have caused this, and should they undergo any urgent medical evaluation or tests to rule out a TIA (mini-stroke) or another neurological issue? Could this be related to his gym routine, muscle fatigue, nerve compression, or the use of creatine or whey protein supplements?
