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?

Answered on 23rd May '24
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.

I’m 21 year old female the last 5 days my body’s felt like it’s floating and I’m having brain fog and blurry vision
Female | 21
Many things could cause you to feel like you’re floating, have brain fog, or experience blurry vision. For example, this might happen if you’re dehydrated, haven’t slept enough, or are stressed out. So my advice would be to try drinking more water, getting some rest, and taking a little time off to relax. If none of these help and the symptoms persist then I think you should see your neurologist about it.

Need consultation from neurologist as facing problem of weakness of body after stroke in. Free or sposonered services urgently required
Male | 73
The brain is damaged because the stroke occurs which causes this frailty. It controls our muscles but they can also be affected when hurt. To get better, one thing you need to do is visit a neurologist. They may advise some therapy or exercises which would help in restoring your former power.

Which surgery is better for grade 2 brain tumor? Should the patient opt for Radiosurgery or Craniotomy?
Generally there are 4 types of Resection to remove a tumor:
- Gross total: The entire tumor is removed. However, sometimes microscopic cells may remain.
- Subtotal: A large portion of the tumor is removed.
- Partial: Only part of the tumor is removed.
- Biopsy only: Only a small portion is removed, which is used for a biopsy.
The treatment or surgery depends on several factors like type of cancer, the stage of cancer, location, age of patient, general health, associated comorbidities and others. Consult an oncologist, who on evaluation of the patient will guide you to choose the best treatment suitable for the patient.
Hope our answer helps you.

Female | 6
I advise you to get a pediatric neurologist and make an appointment as soon as possible for your daughter and her problems. A solitary nerve damage from a seizure on the right side of her brain might necessitate more tests and/or treatment.

I'm 28 yrs old and my body keeps going numb on and off and I feel like I'm dying. I'm scared idk what to do
Female | 28
Random numbness in your body can feel quite worrying. Causes include circulation issues, compressed nerves, or anxiety. For prevention, eat nutritious foods, exercise regularly, and manage stress levels. However, if you are experiencing persistent numbness, visit a neurologist to identify the underlying reason and receive proper treatment.

I am 39 yr women been diagnosed with beçhets diesase in the uk. I have trouble with waking and balance. Can you treat me there? Thanks
Female | 39
The blood vessels are influenced by Behcet’s disease which may result in walking problems and unsteadiness. It can cause inflammation anywhere in the body including the brain. To alleviate these signs, drugs can be used to decrease swellings and alleviate pains. To enhance balance and reinforce muscles, physical therapy might be advised. Ensure you closely adhere to what your neurologist tells you to alleviate your symptoms.

Right head always pain, every 4 to 5 days in week
Female | 29
Some people have pain on one side of their head for many days in a week. This could be a type of bad headache called a migraine. Migraines make your head hurt in throbs. Lights and sounds may feel too bright or loud. Stress, not enough sleep, some foods, and not drinking enough water can cause migraines. You can try to drink lots of water, get good rest, keep calm, and stay away from bright lights and loud noises. But if the head pain keeps happening, you should talk to a neurologist.

I'm Amit Das 29 years old. I was watching the mobile for a long time, my mind started moving towards me, when I wake up from sleep , my whole body started moving towards me, when I started moving, my mind started moving somewhere, when I started sleeping, then again my body started moving along with my mind. Yes, all this is happening since last 3 days, there is a lot of pain before sleeping, checked that BP is low. Can this be right?
Male | 19
Prolonged screen time can cause tiredness and it might be the reason for these feelings. It is necessary to rest a little from the mobile phone and make sure you are drinking enough water and eating properly to help your blood pressure. However, given that this has continued for a few days, I strongly advise you to visit a healthcare professional. They can suggest a personalized approach and check whether there are any hidden issues. Take care of yourself and request substantial medical advice.

I tend to jump to worse case scenario but I recently got diagnosed with vertigo caused by middle ear fluid and recently it’s came back since where I am the weather has gotten worse and my vision is kind of blurry sometimes and I have a hard time focusing on someone when they are talking how likely is it that this is being caused by a brain tumor and not the middle ear vertigo or am I just completely over thinking this
Female | 21
The blurry vision and the difficulty in focusing can be the vertigo that the ear fluid causes. It is common and it does not mean that you have a brain tumor. The ear fluid can mess up your balance and vision. Usually, it gets better on its own, but you might need medicine or special exercises if the problem keeps bothering you.

Hi there, I am a 19 year old female. I am born in London, UK. I am currently away on holiday in Saudi Arabia. It’s currently around 40 degrees. I was walking whilst holding my bags & I suddenly became unable to see for a second & felt sick and dizzy. I felt like my heart was beating really fast and I could not breathe properly. I sat down and tried to cool down & drank cold water. After resting, I got up in the attempt to continue walking however, I felt really faint and my heart was beating even faster again. I felt my eyes rolling, I didn’t entirely faint and black out but it felt as if I were going to. I sat down and got escorted by a golf cart. However, I am unsure if I am okay or what it is I should do. I want to know what happened. I do still feel lightheaded and sick. But I am not sweating or red anymore.
Female | 19
You may have gone through heat exhaustion. This is when your body's internal thermometer becomes too hot and fails to function properly. The symptoms arising from such illness include, but are not limited to, faintness, dizziness, experiencing a fast heart rate as well as the feeling of nausea. The solution is to move to a cool area, drink water, and rest. Avoid the scorching sun and keep your body as cool as possible.

I am 50 years old female. Doctor has prescribed me 1.bonther xl ( contains methylcobalamin 1500 mcg) twice daily and 2.penogab sr (contains methylcobalamin 1500 mcg ) once daily Is it safe to take 4500 mcg of methylcobalamin daily?
Female | 50
For some people, taking 4500 mg of methylcobalamin every day can be dangerous. If you take too much methylcobalamin, you might get an upset stomach, diarrhea, or a rash. Talk to your doctor if you feel unwell. They might change the amount you take or give you another kind of treatment.

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.

What causes muscle and nerve pains in my legs thighs and arms that comes and goes with no fever
Female | 25
Fibromyalgia causes achy pains. These pains go away and come back without fever. Fibromyalgia hurts muscles and nerves in legs, thighs, and arms. It makes you feel tired too. Stress worsens fibromyalgia pains. Lack of sleep and weather changes worsen it also. Gentle exercises and relaxation methods might help too. Getting enough sleep is important. Eating healthy foods can help fibromyalgia. Managing stress levels might help as well.

I’m taking one time dosage of 200mg of doxycycline as pep for possible exposure to sti. Iv heard that doxycycline causes cranial hypertension How likely is that to happen to me from one dosage
Male | 26
It is not very likely to get intracranial high blood pressure from a single 200mg dose of doxycycline. Intracranial high blood pressure is an uncommon side effect that may lead to headaches, changes in vision, and nausea. Adequate hydration can help in its prevention. Don’t forget to follow your provider’s instructions when taking this medicine and inform them about any worries you might have.

Mild cases can be treated with lifestyle changes and medications, while severe cases may need to undergo surgery. A health professional should be sought for proper evaluation and treatment.

I am 48 years old male...I have severe headache from tomorrow morning. I have taken some pain killers but feel no relief.what could I do now.
Male | 48
Headaches are one of the most common health problems, and they can be brought about by stress, lack of sleep, dehydration, and so on. Now that the medications you consumed are no longer effective, how about if you would like to use relaxation techniques such as deep breathing, drinking water, or applying a cold compress to your head?

Inhaling gas, taking alcohol and some drugs can be dangerous especially when coupled with lack of sleep and food. Symptoms such as headache and shivering might mean that your body is stressed. Take a rest, eat well, and keep off harmful substances.
