Your symptoms, including persistent headaches, facial discomfort, and fatigue, could stem from several conditions, such as sinus issues, tension headaches, or even dehydration. The blood in saliva may indicate an underlying issue that warrants further evaluation. I strongly recommend scheduling an appointment with a healthcare professional. They can perform a thorough examination and possibly recommend tests to identify the root cause. In the meantime, ensure you stay well-hydrated, rest adequately, and note any additional changes in your symptoms.

My head is aching I'm dizzy I'm tired I can't stand straight I can't breathe well In general I feel like I'm dying It's not letting up And my sinuses are acting up Since yesterday
Female | 17
Your symptoms, including headache, dizziness, fatigue, and difficulty breathing, may suggest a sinus infection or allergy-related issue. Dehydration and stress can also contribute to discomfort. Please ensure you’re drinking plenty of fluids and resting. Using a humidifier may help ease sinus pressure. However, since your symptoms are persistent and severe, I strongly encourage you to seek medical attention promptly. A neurologist can assess your condition accurately and provide the right treatment.

Hi Doctor ,my child 3.5 yrs weight 11.7kg is a known case of seizure of unknown cause since 5 months of age.Now she is on Soval chrono 350 mg per day..... seizure is under control......all investigation are normal like eeg,MRI and other blood test......is the treatment going on in right track? She has leg pain at night time.Her latest serum valproic acid level is 115 which is slightly in toxic level.what to do now please suggest.
Female | 3
It's good your child's seizures remain controlled, although the night leg pains and higher valproic acid levels need discussion. Night leg pains might signal low magnesium or calcium, so checking those could help explain it. To address the higher valproic acid level, adjusting that medication dose may resolve it. Follow up with your child's doctor about these symptoms and potential treatment changes. If any other concerns arise, don't hesitate to reach out to a neurologist for guidance.

Male | 31
Struggling with stress and body numbness at night, especially after using screens like phones or laptops? Digital eye strain could be the cause, leading to headaches, eye discomfort, and trouble focusing. To ease the symptoms, take regular screen breaks, dim the room lights, and try relaxation techniques. If you're also dealing with premature gray hair or depression, stress may be playing a role. Improving your diet, staying active, and getting enough sleep can help boost your overall health. If these symptoms persist, see a neurologist.

Female | 29
You seem to be feeling tired, and unable to focus, and you often have headaches. These symptoms can have several different causes, such as stress, sleep deprivation, or even nutrient deprivation. To improve your cognitive ability, try to sleep, drink water, and eat a diet that contains all the vitamins and minerals. It is all about getting sleep and staying hydrated. Taking short breaks in between study times is helpful too. If these symptoms do not leave you alone, then I advise you to consult a doctor for a complete assessment.

I am a 43-year-old woman experiencing sleeplessness. I consulted a neurologist who gave me sleeping pills, but I wasn't interested in taking them. I tried setting a proper sleep schedule and reduced screen time, but there have been no improvements.
Female | 43
Setting a proper sleep schedule and reducing screen time are good steps, but sometimes additional help is needed. Since the neurologist's treatment didn't suit you, I recommend visiting a sleep specialist. They can provide personalized advice and alternative treatments to improve your sleep.

When I woke up this morning, I couldn't get out bed. I felt dizziness and total blackouts afterwards. I still lying down. What should I do and what might be the cause of this?
Male | 25
You might be going through orthostatic hypotension. This is a long word that means your blood pressure is too low when you try to stand up. This may lead to you feeling lightheaded and dizzy, and eventually, you might even pass out. To help, try moving stairs at least when you get out of bed, and keep hydrated. If the pain continues, visit a neurologist for a thorough check-up and guidance.

"Hello, I am a 23-year-old woman weighing 36 kg. I ingested 50 mg of amitriptyline all at once on Sunday, December 1, 2024, at 1 pm. After the ingestion, I slept for around 24 hours and did not experience any severe symptoms during the first 48 hours, which made me believe I was in the clear. My prescribed dose is 10 mg twice a day for amitriptyline. I have IBS. However, I am now experiencing dizziness and lightheadedness, which started today, December 3, 2024, at 8 pm. This symptom did not occur earlier, and I am concerned that it might be related to the overdose. Could this dizziness or lightheadedness be a delayed effect of the overdose? Is this symptom potentially serious, and should I take any immediate actions or seek further medical evaluation? Should I wait before resuming my regular prescribed dose of amitriptyline, or do I need to undergo any tests or monitoring before restarting my medication?"
Female | 23
It is possible to experience dizziness and lightheadedness following consumption of higher doses of amitriptyline, even in a delayed manner. Considering your weight and the amount you took, it will be important to keep an eye on these symptoms. I urge you to go to a healthcare professional for assessment as quickly as you can.

Female | 27
You could have carpal tunnel syndrome. It occurs when a nerve in your wrist gets compressed. Symptoms include tingling, burning, numbness. Repeatedly using your hand, like typing extensively, may cause it. Try resting your hand, wearing a brace, and doing hand exercises. If it persists, consult an orhopedist.

Feeling lightheaded, dizzy, and nauseous? That can be tough. If you skipped breakfast, low blood sugar or dehydration could be the reason. Drink some water and have a healthy snack—it should help. But if you still feel dizzy, it's important to see a doctor. In the meantime, focus on staying hydrated and eating something. If these symptoms continue, visit a neurologist.

Some medicines can have memory side effects. Memory can be improved with non-tropic options, for example, CDP-Choline, L Theanine, Huperzine A, B6, and Piracetam; these can be considered. You mentioned another option, Vipocetine. It is best to talk to a neurologist before trying all of these together to make sure they are safe for you.

If I don’t say something immediately I will forget it after
Male | 13
If you often forget things quickly, it could be due to something called short-term memory loss. Symptoms include difficulty remembering recent events or information. This can happen due to stress, lack of sleep, or not paying attention. Try to practice good sleep habits, reduce stress, and pay attention when you learn new things. Writing things down can also help you remember better.
