You might have Paresthesia. It is caused by damage to the nerves and may result in numbness or tingling. Visiting a Neurologist may be advisable for examination and diagnosis.

"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 | 17

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.

What or might make me have an headache and when am relaxing hear sounds like heart beat or the clock ticking at the back of my head

Male | 24

If you hear your heartbeat or other sounds in the head, you may have a condition known as pulsatile tinnitus. This may be caused by increased blood flow near the ears or changes in the blood vessels. It can also be associated with headaches at times. Keep track of any other symptoms you may experience and consult a healthcare professional for proper diagnosis and treatment guidance.

Is this situation is curable. What is the life expectancy in mctd with mg

Female | 55

It seems you might be dealing with Mixed Connective Tissue Disease (MCTD) along with Myasthenia Gravis (MG). In this condition, the immune system attacks healthy tissues, leading to symptoms like muscle weakness, fatigue, and shortness of breath. While there is no miracle cure, treatment options can help manage the symptoms. With the right care and treatment, many people can still enjoy a good quality of life.

I used tap water to flush my nose out as I was congested before realising and then about 1 hour later used boiled water as I know it shouldn’t be tap water I’m In Northern Ireland what are chances of me getting brain infection I’m worried now No symptoms it was 2 days ago when will I know if I’m clear of infection

Female | 31

Using tap water to flush your nose­ can be unsafe. Tap water may have­ bad germs. But, do not worry too much about it. Getting a brain infection from this is ve­ry rare. Since you used boile­d water later, you are like­ly safe. If you have no signs after two days, you are­ likely okay. But, look out for bad headaches, fe­ver, or stiff neck. These­ could mean infection.

Physical activity and nutritious food also help manage the condition. If it worse­ns, surgery might be an option.

For side effects-free epilepsy, it is necessary to ask a neurologist who can assess the patient’s condition. However, a range of drugs can well regulate seizures with minimal adverse side effects.
