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.

Your problem seems to point that your sleep and your focus are getting affected by your case. It may be due to your sleep pattern or stress. You should just adopt some healthy habits such as following a consistent sleep schedule, exercise daily, and keep away from electronic devices before going to bed. In order to develop better concentration usage of small study sessions and break will be the answer. If this problem still exists, seeing a physician or a mental health professional might be a good option.

Frequent headache and weeknes and dizziness and ice craving
Female | 15
Fatigue, headaches, weakness, and dizzy spells together with enjoying taking ice could be signs of a disease known as iron deficiency anemia. The blood lacks iron in a sufficient amount, which can result in your feeling tired and dizzy. Upgrading your diet with more of the foods with a high iron content like spinach and beans can be effective, and your doctor may prescribe you iron tablets. It is a must for you to get checked by a neurologist for the exact diagnosis and the appropriate treatment.

I have headache continuously. In my report of MRI it shows that I have preventricular cyst in my head Medicine is going on but I have headache What should I do
Female | 15
You may be suffering from a ventricular cyst, which is located near the brain. It is a fluid-filled sac near the brain. The reason that it causes headaches is often due to being under pressure. Adding to this, receiving regular medication, I recommend also not to forget being well-hydrated and staying stress-free. Were the pain to continue being severe or getting worse, you should report the headache to your neurologist for a new assessment and even alterations to the medications prescribed.

Male | 23
The pain might be due to nerve compression affecting the L3, L4, L5, and S1 vertebrae in your legs. It's best to see a neurologist, as they specialize in this area. They might suggest medications to reduce pain and inflammation. Physiotherapy and simple exercises could help relieve the pain and strengthen your back and core muscles, which will benefit your health in the long run.

Memory loss, particularly at a young age, is a matter of concern. Forgetfulness, having difficulties remembering names or tasks, and getting lost can be the signs of a serious issue. It might be due to stress, a lack of sleep, or a medical problem such as a brain injury or dementia. Getting a checked-up by a neurologist is essential.

Female | 18
The type of headaches you are having, which more often than not, are very intense, with earache, dizziness, and hypersensitivity to light and sound, all symptoms suggest a likely migraine. Migraines occur when your brain is hypersensitive to the things that your body would normally be able to cope with such as stress, lack of sleep, or even something you eat. To achieve the goal of migraine control, you can use a headache diary, stay hydrated, be well-rested, and avoid the triggers. Even if the symptoms get more serious or become a major obstacle in your everyday activities, it's always a good move to seek medical advice from a healthcare practitioner.

I couldn't sleep for 2 months as whever i sleep even for 10 mins i get a dream everytime. I am sleeping for minimum 3 hours a day and i am always tired even without work.
Female | 33
You can't get to sleep and walk around like a zombie during the day. If you have dreams every time you sleep, however, they may be short, and you are not getting REM sleep which is the deep sleep you need. As a result, you may feel you have more energy than you do. Thus, this might be a sleep disorder. If the problem persists, see a sleep specialist who can help with the evaluation and therapy.

I have pain in my head in one side only and pain side face swelling also and some times pain side eye vision is getting dull
Female | 38
It feels like you might have sinusitis. Sinusitis can make one side of your head hurt, swell up your face, or affect your sight. This occurs when the sinuses in your face become infected or inflamed. Try putting warm wet towels on your face, drinking lots of water, and using saline nasal sprays. If it still hurts, contact a healthcare provider for further treatment.

Pain in left-hand palm to elbow numbness and tingling
Male | 30
These signs could mean a pinched nerve — when a nerve is pressed or squeezed. You might get it from bad habits like typing all day or falling asleep in an odd position. To fix it, stop doing the same thing over and over and stretch out gently. Also, if these feelings don’t go away you should see a neurologist.

The symptoms you described, such as stiffness, trouble speaking, cold hands and feet, and epilepsy say serious things to me. With her previous medical records including heart failure, kidney damage, and extreme variations, this may be a life-threatening issue. It is of utmost importance for her to get appropriate attention as soon as possible to receive the right treatment and the right care for her. The doctors may need to deal with the heart, kidney, and neurological issues together to make your mother feel better.

Can you suggest me something for that will help me to recover soon ? Thanks is Advance...

This may cause weakness in the muscles of the hands and legs. I am glad that you are getting better. What has been recommended by your doctor is very important- physiotherapy and exercise. These two things can strengthen your muscles and help you regain your ability to move around. Ensure that you strictly adhere to what they say and remember that healing will take time so don’t get tired of waiting.

The pain in the backside bone and the sensation of dizziness or vertigo when moving her head could be due to musculoskeletal issues, inner ear problems, or neurological conditions.
