I think I have a brain issue?

I am facing a problem that I hardly can explain. It's been 3 days. I feel my hands more than my head. About 2 days ago while I was using my laptop, I suddenly started to feel my hand. looks like my brain is absent. everything I touch seems new. I want to add more, I had a habit of taking cough syrup. 1 week ago I took my covid vaccine [sinopharm]. After taking this vaccine I tried cough syrup, but this time cough syrup didn't work like always. I got tense and took cough syrup (named "dexpoten plus") the other day. Now I m not taking any cough syrup for the last 4 days. but the problem is still the same. What should I do?

Your symptoms may be related to the COVID vaccine. We have seen some unusual side effects to the vaccine. Mostly, though, we see pain at the injection site, fever, a rash, headaches, and fatigue. But, due to the newness of these vaccines, it is possible that your symptoms are from the vaccine. Also, the inability of your cough syrup to work like it usually did may be from the vaccine. The issue with your hands could be related to the vaccine, or it could be related to the lack of the cough syrup. You should make an appointment to see your primary care doctor if these symptoms persist.
