Why Do I Have Unsteadiness and Vision Issues?
Hello guys, I am a male 24 years old. So in early 201 9 i started to get weird symptoms than at the end develop constant feeling of them.lt all started with just sinus pressure and dizzines,but it develop in to constant unsteadiness like i am walking on a boat 24/7.It does never stop not even for a single second. It does not matter if i am laying,sitting or walking the sensation is there always.This sensation is accompanied with sort of like bouncy vision which is constant same as the unsteadiness.lts hard for me to focus on objects because i have a sensation that they are moving or bouncing.This dual sensation varies in intensity depending on the day. Those both sensation are going on for 5 years.l have developed anxiety with it and often find myself panicking over this symptoms I did an MRI scan that showed no malignat changes on the brain and a C6-C7 discus hernia and relative spinal stenosis. I also went to few ENT doctors,that recommended me to do a deviated septum surgery which i got. They said it could be to air pressure in my ears and oxygen deficiency which ultimately did not prove to be right. I went to a few neurologist that all said the same,that there is nothing wrong according to them I also went to an eye doctor who said i do not have anything wrong with my eyes despite my bouncy vision.Even when i explained my symptoms she said that she had never heard of something like this On the recommendation of my ENT doctor i did caloric test that show the next parametars: Right ear showed 2.20 and left ear showed 2.50 (keep in mind i do not know what this means) I also have checked my blood vessels on my neck to check for circulation and it came out fine I am literally out of options and i do not know what to do next. Anyone out there with simillar kind of symptoms? Can anybody give me some advice for what to do next?

You might be dealing with a condition known as vestibular migraine or chronic subjective dizziness. Given your symptoms and history, it would be best to consult a neurologist who specializes in vestibular disorders. They can provide more targeted treatments and help manage your symptoms effectively. Please visit a neurologist for further evaluation and proper guidance.

I am a 31-year-old female with L3-L4 protrusion, disc herniation at the L4-L5 level causing severe narrowing of the spinal canal and sacralization of the L5 disc. I have consulted a couple of neurologists in Bangalore but it was not effective. Pain killers and muscle relaxants don't help to subside the pain. I am not able to sit as there is severe burning pain in my right leg. It has been 6 months and there has been no improvement, rather my health is deteriorating. I have tried physiotherapy as well but the pain seems to be increasing. Kindly help me with what treatment should I take up and from where?

Female | 21
I understand your niece faces brain meningioma and a tumor in her right eye nerve – serious conditions, yet treatable. Meningioma often brings headaches, vision troubles, and weakness. Eye glioma risks vision loss. Treatment options: surgery, radiation therapy, medication. The key is working closely with specialists to choose the best care path for your niece.

I am having headache and feeling dizzy in the morning suggest something
Male | 23
These signs may arise from many different causes. One possible reason could be dehydration caused by not drinking enough water or inadequate sleep. In some cases, the morning headache can also be caused by breakfast skipping. Pay attention to your diet, include plenty of water and try to sleep well. When the symptoms do not go away, it is good to ask a doctor for help.

Every day or after every 24 hours (at 07.07 PM) the patient goes into a short sleep or coma like state (for 1 hour to 2 hours) and at that time the patient does not react in any way and has 3-4 types of seizures at that time and in that state and then the patient is Becomes completely weak. Forgets what happened during the attack.
Male | 44
Seizures cause loss of consciousness, and jerky movements. They may stem from epilepsy, head trauma, medical issues. Evaluation and treatment from a neurologist is crucial. Medications and therapies help manage seizures, improving quality of life. It sounds like the patient could be experiencing seizures.

On Feb 4 I did brain scan there is a doubt of brain tumor . I get headache
Female | 30
You had a brain scan, raising concerns about a brain tumor causing headaches. Headaches indicate tumors, along with nausea, weakness, and impaired vision. Abnormal cells multiplying in the brain form tumors. Tumor treatment involves surgery, radiation therapy, or chemotherapy. Follow your neurologist's advice for further evaluation and management.

Something popped on the right side of my brain, and it feels soar and has tiny spurts of pain. When it first happens I had light headaches around my head. Nothing seriously painful, and I’m having dizzy spells. Nothing uncontrollable but it’s weird.
Male | 35
The description seems as if you might have a certain issue called a migraine. Zapping sensations in the brain are the "popping" which can be accompanied by a headache and dizziness. The pain is temporary but, these headaches can feel sore to the point of causing a brief moment of pain. A lot of times, the cause of the migraines is stress, deprivation of sleep, and high intake of certain foods. Along with the symptoms, you might want to rest in a quiet, dark room and drink fluids to hydrate. If the symptoms continue or worsen, visit a neurologist for additional treatment and checking.

i hit my head three months ago. it was bleeding and i went to the hospital. they did a CAT scan, said no bleeding on the brain, it was deep but no stitches and no sign of concussion. Now three months later i have tenderness and pain where i hit my head
Male | 73
After an impact to the head, some lingering discomfort and tenderness is quite typical. This could stem from a small patch of scar tissue forming at the injury site. Applying cold packs and taking pain medication can provide relief. However, if the pain persists or intensifies, consulting a neurologist would be advisable for further assessment.

Even if their routine blood and urine tests are normal and there happens to be just a swelling seen only in an MRI, definitely they should go for a neurologist. This calls for obtaining a diagnosis and treatment from a specialist to deter any complications that may arise.

My icp pressure is 29 what i do and is treatment or risk factors
Female | 21
Pressure inside your skull, known as intracranial pressure (ICP), is measuring higher than the typical range at 29. This elevated level could signify an underlying issue concerning your brain's health. Indicators like persistent headaches, nausea, and vision disturbances may manifest. Potential causes range from traumatic head injuries to various neurological conditions. Seeking prompt medical evaluation from a neurologist is crucial to pinpoint the precise cause and initiate appropriate treatment.

I had an EEG done a couple weeks ago and my neurology appointment is a month away. I'm trying to make heads and tails with what I've been told
Male | 35
If there were any abnormal brain waves, your doctor may want to investigate further. Things like seizures or even bad headaches can cause strange brain wave patterns to show up on this test. So, it’s good news that you have an appointment with a neurologist coming up soon. They will be able to help you figure out what comes next based on what’s been going on with you and what showed up in the EEG.

Cerebral atrophy impairs the patient\'s coordination to the extent that he/she loses the touch to walk and speak, and the manual dexterity needed to carry out simple tasks. The condition is demonstrated when the brain cells are gradually losing their size. The medication prescriptions your mother is taking might only produce short-term benefits, you must carry out the consultations with the responsible neurologists who are in charge of her health.

I have pain in neck ,heavy the head and nerves pain. Where we can take appointment.
Male | 43
Neck discomfort, a heavy sensation in your head, and nerve-related pain are concerning symptoms. They may arise from stress, improper posture, or abrupt movement. Relax your neck muscles, maintain good posture, and apply warmth to alleviate the pain. However, if these issues persist, you can book an appointment with an experienced neurologist for accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment.

Had a blood patch on Wednesday for a CSF leak, having now what I would call rebound headaches any advise please
Male | 42
Rebound headaches are common after treating CSF leaks. They occur when the brain becomes accustomed to painkillers and protests when they wear off. To deal with them, try not to overuse pain medicines. Reduce their intake gradually, keep yourself hydrated, and maintain a regular sleep pattern. If they persist, seek further advice from a neurologist.

Why I feel suddenly dizziness
Female | 24
It’s normal to feel lightheaded every once in a while and it’s totally natural to panic. There are a bunch of different reasons why this might happen. Maybe you haven’t eaten much today or haven’t had anything to drink in a few hours. Perhaps you’re working out too hard and getting dehydrated, or you stood up really fast and got dizzy from the blood rush. Some people even feel faint when they’re anxious.

Female | 23
Ongoing headaches are troubling. Your symptoms - right-side head, eye, and ear pain, focus and memory issues - suggest a potential problem. Getting a thorough check-up is crucial to pinpoint the exact cause. Don't disregard these warning signs, as they could signify an underlying serious condition. Seek prompt medical attention to avoid potential complications.

Male | 21
In this case, insufficient sleep might make you feel fatigued and irritable during the daytime. There might be several causes of this such as stress, excessive screen time before bed, or drinking of caffeine late. Practicing relaxation techniques before sleeping as well as establishing a soothing bedtime routine and not consuming caffeine in the evening will be the best ways to enhance your sleep.

Burning sensation in my feets, for all my life
Male | 28
The burning sensation in your feet is likely peripheral neuropathy. Diabetes, vitamin deficiencies, or nerve damage cause this condition. Eat healthy food. Exercise often. Wear comfy shoes and care for your feet properly. These steps can help ease discomfort. If not, visit a neurologist.

My wife has been recently diagnosed by one of neurologist a retinal migraine issue, she faces migraines headache in 2 or 3 months once only. Now the doctor has suggested few medicines which I think is affecting her mental health. She is prescribed with propranolol 25mg daily twice, topiramate 20 mg daily twice Due to this she always feel sleepy, dizziness, harsh behaviours, mood swings, lack of appetite, lack of focus, lack of confidence, feels awkward cannot stay awake, cannot use mobile for long time, headache affects her head daily in the evening mostly. She is using these medicine since two weeks, before she doesn't have these issue. She only had a migraine and she once had a spot in her right eye which goes after a week. But she has a small lump behind her ear which doctor mentioned it as a swellon nerve. Kindly please suggest is she getting correct treatment because her Condition is getting worse day by day in terms of mental health. She has a family history of migraine her mother and sisters.
Female | 34
Propranolol and topiramate sometimes result in symptoms such as drowsiness, lightheadedness, mood changes, and an inability to concentrate. You or she must discuss this with the neurologist who prescribed these drugs because they could fix this issue by adjusting dosages or prescribing different medications that would be effective against migraines without affecting mental stability. If the lump located at the back of her ear is not yet diagnosed then it should also get checked into by the doctor to find out if there might be any connection with other signs.
