Should I go to urgent care for memory loss?
I have recently been experiencing heavy memory loss (ex. unable to remember names, forgetting how to do tasks, driving unknown places). I have an appointment but I'm unsure whether I should go to urgent care for this instead or not.

Forgetting names and tasks can be a worrisome problem. This can be due to various reasons like stress, sleep problems, or medical issues. It is commendable that you are thinking about your alternatives. Since memory loss affects everyday life, see a neurologist as soon as possible. They can be the ones to help identify the cause and recommend the necessary steps to enhance your memory.

I’ve had a headache for the past five days. Usually behind the eyes and sometimes a stabbing pain behind the head.
Male | 19
This is a common type called a tension headache. These types of headaches can cause pain behind your eyes. They can also make you feel a stabbing pain at the back of your head. Stress, bad posture, or lack of sleep often cause them. Try to relax and drink lots of water. Do some easy neck stretches too. If the headaches keep happening, talk to a doctor.

Hot flashes,nausea,no appetite.I space out,stare with no comprehension. When this happens I get weak and sometimes fall, after this I forget how to get to places that I have been going to for years.
Male | 75
These could be from hormone changes, being too stressed, or even brain issues. It is very important to see a neurologist to find out why and get the right help. For now, rest lots, drink many fluids, and eat small healthy meals.

Conditions like neuralgia and neuritis can cause symptoms such as pain, burning sensations, reduced appetite, constipation, sleep issues, dizziness, and headaches, which may be linked to nerve health. While medications can help, it’s equally important to stay in regular contact with a neurologist to monitor progress. This way, they can make timely adjustments to relieve symptoms effectively.

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.

I feel very strong pressure in my head and behind my eyes whenever I lie down or sit, but it eases when I stand, and sometimes I hear a slight crackling sound or the sound of small bubbles from inside my head. I went to a neurologist and the results of the MRI determined that I had spondylosis in the cervical vertebrae and stenosis in the cervical spinal canal, and he prescribed these medications to me. baclofen 10mg twice a day antox, santanerva, celebrex 200mg once a day antodine three times a day I started treatment three weeks ago, but the symptoms are the same and there is no improvement. The doctor told me that the headache and pressure should decrease, but once the effect of the baclofen wears off, the pain and pressure return as they were. I take the medications regularly. Every time I ask the doctor, he doesn't answer me anymore, and I don't know whether to take the treatment or stop, and I know that I can't stop baclofen suddenly because it's dangerous. What should I do?? Are there medications that are better than these medications or more effective in relieving pain at least, and is there anything additional in the x-ray that the doctor did not say about? normal weight, chronic diseases: gerd
Female | 21
The pressure in your head and crackling sound may indicate a nerve issue in the neck. While the medication you're taking can help, if you're not feeling better, it's important to explore other treatment options. Don't worry about changes in your baclofen dose, but consult your neurologist before making any adjustments. You may also want to ask about other medications that could be more suitable for your condition. As for the X-ray, the doctor likely focused on the areas related to your main symptoms, which is why nothing else was mentioned.

There is a lot of pain at night. It feels like the vein in the forehead will burst and the body jerks repeatedly.
Male | 17
You may be having a cluster headache. It may be accompanied by a jolt of the body. Stress, alcohol consumption, and intense smells can serve as irritants. To counter these conditions, use relaxation methods, do not expose yourself to triggers, and consult a neurologist for further advice and support.

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 | 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.

Female | 33
Severe headaches, weakness, swollen lymph nodes behind the ears, and painful, swollen eyes could indicate an infection, possibly sinusitis, which is the inflammation of the sinuses. Get plenty of rest, drink lots of fluids, and apply warm compresses to the eyes to reduce swelling. If the symptoms persist, seek medical evaluation and treatment.

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.

It sounds like you may be experiencing a migraine. Migraines can cause severe headaches along with symptoms like dizziness, blurred vision, shaky hands, restlessness, and sharp head pain. Some people also experience a buzzing sound or ringing in their ears. Try tracking your headaches and possible triggers, such as stress, lack of sleep, or certain foods. Stay hydrated, eat regular meals, and practice relaxation techniques like deep breathing or light exercise. If the headaches persist, it's best to consult a neurologist for further evaluation and treatment.

The sensation of pins and needles you experienced can be caused by nerve irritation, peripheral neuropathy, inflammatory conditions, or nerve-related conditions. You must consult with a neurologist for a proper evaluation and diagnosis to figure out the cause and treatment options.

I am 24 year old and I m having stiffness in my head feel pinching irritation and feels empty like feeling very quick and tired
Female | 24
Hey, Welcome to ClinicSpots. We understand your concerns and are here to provide guidance.
Feeling stiffness, pinching irritation, and a sense of emptiness in your head could indicate various underlying factors. These symptoms may stem from stress, anxiety, or even migraines. Stress often manifests as tension headaches or a feeling of pressure in the head. It's also possible these symptoms could be related to migraines, which can cause throbbing pain and sensitivity to light and sound. Additionally, conditions like anxiety can contribute to sensations of head stiffness and quick fatigue. It's important to consider any recent changes in your lifestyle or stress levels that might be triggering these symptoms.
Next Steps to Follow
- Consult a Healthcare Professional: Schedule an appointment with a neurologist or a primary care physician to discuss your symptoms in detail. They can conduct a thorough evaluation to determine the underlying cause.
- Medical Evaluation: Your doctor may recommend diagnostic tests such as imaging studies or blood tests to rule out neurological conditions or other health issues.
- Lifestyle Modifications: Practice stress management techniques, and gentle exercises like yoga or meditation, and maintain a regular sleep schedule to support overall well-being and manage symptoms.
- Follow-up: Keep track of any changes in your symptoms and follow up with your healthcare provider as advised.
Health Tip
Incorporate relaxation techniques into your daily routine to help alleviate symptoms. Deep breathing exercises and gentle stretches can help reduce tension and promote relaxation.

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 | 20
Twitching can be attributed to a lot of different things such as stress, being overworked, or too much coffee. At other times, the cause may be the nerve ability of the body. Make sure you sleep, eat healthfully, and drink enough water. You may wish to tell your medical provider that you are sleeping badly for this issue to be listed on your consultation form and assessed appropriately.

I feel liquid feeling in my head and i feel muscle cracking in my head when i move my head
Male | 37
If this is the case, it could be because of some problems with the muscles or joints around your neck. Such feelings are sometimes brought about by tightness or strain in a person’s neck. You can check whether this helps by doing light stretches for the neck and exercises. If they don’t go away or get worse after doing so then I’d recommend seeing a neurologist who will give you the right diagnosis on what needs to be done next.

I get these severe headaches that's starts from my eyes Before the actual headache starts my eyes gets like the rippling water effect that starts from the outer of the eyeball As theat progresses I get this severe headache on either side of my brain towards the centre where it feels like a stabbing pain. Sometimes my ears start painingand the headache lasts for 3-5 hours where I have to stop what I'm doing and lay down and take a pain tablet and sleep. Even while my eyes are closed I see the rippling water. Sometimes I get it 2-3 times in a day and I'm totally drained out. Even when the headaches stop the brain still pains for days...a simple cough and my brain pains. I also get very hot and perspire. Sometimes my face feels numbs and I feel almost lifeless and don't want to talk or move that's how severe the pain is. What is this?
Female | 51
Your migraine headache disorder could be a possible cause. You may experience severe pain on one side of your head and even have visual disturbances, like a "rippling water" effect, before the headache starts. Sensitivity to light and sound, along with numbness or weakness, can also happen during a migraine attack. The key is to identify and avoid potential triggers such as stress, lack of sleep, and certain foods. Keeping a headache journal can help you spot patterns. You can also try relaxation techniques, maintain regular sleep routines, and take prescribed medications to prevent or treat migraines. It's important to seek medical advice from a neurologist for a personalized treatment plan.

Why I am feeling suddenly dizziness
Female | 24
Dizziness can make you feel like things are spinning or you're off balance. It can happen if you stand up too quickly, are dehydrated, or get up after lying down. Sometimes, it's due to low blood sugar. Other reasons could be problems in the inner ear or even stress. To help, sit or lie down, drink water, and eat if your blood sugar is low. If it persists, talk to a healthcare provider so they can figure out the cause.
