Why is a 35-Year-Old Male Experiencing Dull Ache in Top Back of Neck with Headaches and Vertigo?
35 year old male. Dull ache in top back of neck, on and off for 2 months but more constant now. Can come with head aches and occasional vertigo
Neurosurgeon
Answered on 23rd May '24
It is plausible that the person has tension headaches due to muscle pain in his or her neck and shoulder. With occasional vertigo, other causes should be ruled out such as abnormalities in the cervical spine or inner ear. The individual is advised to consult a neurologist for more evaluation and treatment of these manifestations.

I AM 22 YEARS OLD MY HAND MILD TREMORS
Male | 22
Hand tremors at 22 years old are quite uncommon but can happen. Stress, high consumption of caffeine, and sleep deprivation that, in some cases, can even be exacerbated by demanding situations might all be implicated. Take a deep breath, cut down on coffee, and get some sleep. If the tremors become more frequent or more severe, it is advisable to undergo a medical examination to find out if other possible causes are present.

Male | 73
The brain is damaged because the stroke occurs which causes this frailty. It controls our muscles but they can also be affected when hurt. To get better, one thing you need to do is visit a neurologist. They may advise some therapy or exercises which would help in restoring your former power.

Hello im 25 years old,im suffering from short term memory loss what should i do
Male | 25
You have a problem with short-term memory loss that you should look out for. For example, you may forget information or events that have just happened. This is common when people are stressed, not sleeping well, or taking certain drugs. You can try relaxation techniques, getting enough sleep, and talking to your doctor about the pills you are taking. If it doesn’t get better or gets worse then go to a neurologist so they can figure out what’s going on.

Why do my eyes and legs feel paralyzed whenever I mastrubate
Male | 20
Masturbation can lead to chemicals being released into the body that may make muscles and other nerves feel weak. Sometimes, it can cause temporary paralysis in your eyes or legs. It’s common and usually harmless. If it continues or bothers you, talk to someone you know like your parent or a doctor, and if it continues or bothers you.

Female | 19
Migraines can be very hard. They often come with throbbing pain in your head. You may feel sick to your stomach. Light and sounds make it worse. Not enough sleep and stress can cause migraines. Some foods can start them too. Make sure you eat good stuff. Drink lots of water. Get lots of rest. If headaches keep happening, talk to a doctor.

You could be having some pain on the left side of your head leading to anxiety and pain in your left body side. Such signs may result from tension, lack of enough sleep, or dehydration. Drink water, have some sleep then try doing deep breathing exercises which can help reduce this pain.

Gene therapy can cure mascular dystrophy
Male | 24
Muscular dystrophy is when the muscles are gradually deprived of the power they possess to work. Thus, even the most basic movements can become a challenge for sufferers. The reason for this is the malfunction of the genes. Gene therapy is a method that can help in the modification of these genes. It comes with the promise of restoring the mutated genes in muscular dystrophies and substituting them for healthy ones. This can be done through the improvement of the contractility of the muscles and hence, the whole body over a longer period.

Hi, muze pahli bar chakkar aaye hai sath me ulti jaisa bhi hua, aur , rat me sote samay bhi right side ,turn Kiya seer ghumne lagta hai iska karna jan na chahta hu please kuch bataye iske bare me.
Male | 23
Based on the symptoms you have described, there is a huge chance that you may have vertigo, which is a disease that causes a man to feel dizzy and unstable. This may be due to malfunctions in the inner ear or injury of the brain. Sometimes the position you sleep in, turning to one side, may trigger these symptoms. Try to avoid sudden head movements, drink enough water, and get enough sleep to help. If the symptoms don't go away, see a neurologist for more tests.

My son 21 years old. Struggling with migrains. Have now started to feel pressure in forehead and dizzy. Have just now taken paracetamol 1 gram. Is it ok to take migraine medication he got from doctor last time now already? He is really scared to wake up and get it like last time. It was really bad with vomiting.
Male | 21
Weakness and sensitivity to light, as well as vomiting, may be the result of migraines. He is on paracetamol which is great, but he can also take the migraine medication his doctor prescribed if it is the case, even though it is soon after the paracetamol. It is important that the doctor’s guidance is adhered to and the medication is taken as instructed which will also help to prevent the next similar episode from happening.

Good day doctor Since childhood, I have always been pressing on my nerves and muscles throughout my body, and I can't control myself. It's like grinding teeth, but in my body, and it's voluntary. These are not spasms; I do them, but I can't stop them. When I try to stop myself, I feel like I'm going to explode. The issue was minor in childhood and significantly reduced during adolescence almost to the point of disappearing. However, over the past few years, the problem has worsened significantly. Currently, I'm squeezing my body's vertebrae, especially my neck, and I feel like it's twisting. I consulted a psychiatrist and neurologist who said there is no organic issue, just a bit of anxiety. I took medications for anxiety and stress, but there was no effect. Thank you very much for your time
Male | 34
The nature of your symptoms probably is involuntary muscle contractions or muscle spasms. It is necessary to have the condition assessed by a neurologist who specializes in movement disorders or a physiotherapist who will be able to look at your condition in person and guide you properly.

You have tinnitus which is the ringing in the ear and you have chills with shivering too. Tinnitus is caused by many different things like loud noises or stress. The chills could be because of an infection. Get lots of rest, drink enough water, and if necessary go to a doctor for more help.

My vitamin b12 levels are near about 200 ng/ml from 10 years although I am non vegetarian.currently i am on ssri from 1 year for anxiety and depression.now iam feeling muscle pain legs,numbness in fingers of hand sometimes very rare. It is due to anxiety issues or b/12 .
Male | 39
Insufficient vitamin B12 amounts can lead to muscle aches and numbness which will be considerably suffered in fingers and legs. If your symptoms are related to low B12 levels, it may still be the case that your meat-eating habits do not have any effect. The best way to handle this with your doctor is to ask them to check your B12 levels and determine whether you need treatment or supplements.

Female | 19
Your headaches and dizziness could be related to prolonged exposure to heat or sudden changes in temperature from the AC. It’s important to stay hydrated and take breaks from the heat. However, since these symptoms have persisted for two weeks, I strongly advise you to visit a general physician or an ENT specialist for a proper diagnosis and treatment.

Right basifrontal region focal encephalomalacia is seen measuring 3x2 cm (H/O prior trauma). MRI report is abnormal but my EEG test is normal
Female | 28
You feel uneasy because of the MRI report that shows a spot in your brain. It may have been caused by a past injury. Encephalomalacia is the condition when brain tissue is damaged and can be of various types such as headaches or memory problems. The good news is that your brain's electrical activity seems okay. You only have to do two things: first of all, watch out for any new symptoms that may come up and report them to your neurologist.

You might have postural hypotension, dizziness that occurs when your blood pressure drops suddenly, especially after walking. This may cause you to feel unsteady or dizzy. You should drink plenty of water and move slowly. You may need to change your medicine or lifestyle to get help.
