Pain And Heaviness In The Left Hand, Headache And Dizziness. Worried
Hello doctor
It's been almost 4 days since my left hand has been hurting me. It's like someone is squeezing my arm ( on top of my elbow) like a big rock on my arm putting pressure on it, and it comes with a really bad headache and i become a little dizzy. It stops after 5 minutes. But happens 3-4 times a day. Is it normal or should I be worried.

Hi,
Thank you for posting your query.
Based on the symptoms, we need to exclude a partial epilepsy. This can cause episodic headaches, dizziness, arm pain, etc.
An MRI scan of the brain and evaluation by a neurologist would be helpful.
Please get back if you require any additional information.
