Why am I experiencing severe headaches, throat swelling, and vomiting?
For the past 3 weeks now maybe longer I’ve been experiencing severe headaches. I ended up going to hospital for a head CT but they never did one and just put it down to stress which I know it’s not the case there’s definitely something wrong. I returned to work yesterday and was completely fine until I woke up this morning with a severe headache again and in pain all over. My throat has swelled up and I’ve been vomiting all day. I’ve taken codeine that has eased the pain a bit. I just don’t know what to do or what could be causing this. My GP has been no help either and I can’t continue risking taking anymore time off work

Having severe headaches, throwing up, swelling of the throat, and general body weakness is odd. It could be an indication of a serious problem that needs immediate attention. You should see a doctor who will carry out proper examinations and tests to establish the root cause. If possible, think about getting a second opinion without any delay.

I am 26 yrs old female from last 2 yrs I have an severe headache right of brain above ear My right side nerve beating fast throbbing badly When I have headache I feel totally blank nausea etc I don't feel good
Female | 26
These symptoms suggest an issue affecting the right side of your head, possibly linked to nerve-induced sound waves, headaches, and nausea. Conditions like tension headaches, migraines, or sinus problems could be causing this. It's important to stay hydrated, eat well, get enough sleep, and manage stress. However, if the symptoms persist or worsen, consult a neurologist for proper evaluation and advice.

Hi what causes fatigue , chest pain , pressure in my head , weakness in my left arm and leg , irregular heartbeat , I have bad dental and a lump at the base of my skull , low blood pressure
Female | 30
From what you describe, carotid artery disease could be causing your issues. This condition blocks blood vessels in your neck. It can lead to tiredness, chest discomfort, head pressure, and left arm/leg weakness. The irregular heartbeat, poor dental health, and skull base lump may relate. Reduced blood flow from the blockage could cause low blood pressure. To properly address this, seeking medical evaluation and treatment is vital.

Female | 49
You might be dealing with stress, maybe too much strain or not enough rest. The human body reacts to stress in such a way that all these things can happen. To feel better, the recommended course of action is: to relax more, try to get some sleep, and practice breathing exercises or do some gentle exercises.

Female | 22
You've been dealing with a headache that keeps coming back. According to what you said, you might be facing a tension headache. Tension headaches can send pain to one side of your head, around your temple, eye, ear, and neck. Stress, poor posture, or not getting enough sleep can take them. It is necessary to regulate stress, exercise proper posture, and get enough rest. If the headache persists, it is a good idea to consult with a neurologist for further evaluation and personalized advice.

Male | 14
Bell’s palsy is a condition where facial muscles on one side of the face are not functioning properly, thus causing the affected part to droop. Smoking or vaping can make your recovery take longer. These kinds of practices can be a good reason to avoid them when you are sick because more time your body requires to recover.

Your dad has too much fluid in his body, causing swelling everywhere. This condition is called Anasarca. It does not get better after death. Heart issues, kidney troubles, and liver disease are some reasons for Anasarca. Talk to your neurologist about your worries. They can guide and support you through this.

The condition of the brain which is responsible for recurring seizures is called Epilepsy. Seizures may differ from one individual to another who may either have a staring spell, muscle jerk, or a blackout. Generally, it takes a long time to get well with the medication, or in some cases, even surgery is required. Do not forget to adhere to your neurologist's recommendations for the best treatment possible and continue your checkups regularly.

I am having hormonal migraines due to my period starting soon. My go-to remedies are not having any effect lately. I have already taken Excedrin but with no improvement. I want to take naproxen-sumatriptan. Can I take this after taking Excedrin? How long should I wait?
Female | 29
If Excedrin hasn't provided relief for your hormonal migraines, it's best not to take naproxen sumatriptan without consulting a doctor. Combining medications without guidance can be harmful. Seek advice from a healthcare provider or pharmacist for a safe alternative or proper timing to take naproxen-sumatriptan.

It can be the effect of exposure to loud noise, ear infections, or age-related hearing loss. The main thing is to protect your ears from loud noises and consult an ear or neurologist doctor for further evaluation and treatment options.

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.
