It sounds like you're struggling with sleep. Short-term sleep deprivation can cause fatigue, dizziness, difficulty focusing, mood swings, and forgetfulness. It's important to address this issue promptly, as an ongoing lack of sleep can seriously affect your health and cognitive abilities. Try techniques like deep breathing, calming music, or creating a comfortable sleep environment to help you relax. If sleep problems persist or you're worried about your sleep patterns, consider seeking advice from a doctor or a sleep specialist.

Today in school my vision went blurry for a bit and I passed out and the guy who woke me up said I was seizing up im just wondering if I had a seizure or something else and if it’s dangerous
Male | 16
It might be that you underwent a seizure. Blurry vision, blacking out, and shaking may result from seizures. There are various causes of seizures such as sleep deprivation and fever. It's crucial to get an appointment with a neurologist to figure out what happened and give you the right treatment to ensure your safety and health.

my son is very ill Epilepsy
Male | 14
Epilepsy is a neurological condition that is characterized by seizures. During a seizure attack, a person may involuntarily shake or jerk. These seizures are manifestations of abnormal electrical activity in the brain. Medications have been proven to control seizures, so recommending the best treatment options from a neurologist should be the priority.

I am a neuro patient,I am suffering from brain tumour,I have undergone radiosurgery proton beam therapy, But now I feel mentally very week,I am a service holder but I am not able to take work pressure So I want to know is there any solution of these problem
Female | 46
You find yourself to be mentally down as a result of the treatment, which was proton beam therapy for your brain tumor. This is a natural outcome because the treatment hurts the healthy brain tissue. Some usual symptoms are fatigue, memory problems, and a problem concentrating. Make sure you rest, eat the right foods, and keep in contact with your healthcare team. Alongside counseling, look into this support program for a solution.

why am I weak every time, dizzy,and sometimes collapse with headache and lose of appetite..
Female | 25
You may be wondering if you have an iron deficiency. Anemia is a condition that develops when your body does not have enough red blood cells to carry oxygen. This may result in fatigue and strange symptoms of dizziness and headaches. A decrease in appetite is another situation that is often found. Intake of green leafy vegetables like spinach, seeds high in protein like beans and lean meat may be helpful. Besides, your doctor may also bring up the consumption of iron supplements to improve your red blood cell count.

I have a severe headache that worsens with movement. It’s felt through out my head however there are pressure points where it’s felt more intensely which are at the back of the skull and near to my temples. I have a low grade fever. Blood in mucus when I blow my nose. When I swallow my throat hurts and it strikes up my head. I am taking Augmentin Zyrtec and ibruprofen and symptoms are relieved until a couple hours before my next dose at the same severity. My skin is tender to touch and everything feels cold. Pain felt in my back and joints.
Female | 21
It sounds like you could be dealing with a sinus infection or a viral illness. The headache, pressure points, fever, sore throat, and body aches indicate an infection. Since you're already on medication but still experiencing severe symptoms, it's best to visit an ENT specialist. They can properly examine your symptoms and adjust treatment if needed.

I take no medication, I have right sided head including eye and neck pressure which make me uneasy to sit without support, i only feel sharp pain and red spot in right eye when I walk a little. Neck strain and hair pulling is also common also this all happen almost everyday for a long time.
Female | 23
Discomfort is happening on the right side of your head, eye, and neck. Sharp pain and red spots in your right eye appear when moving around. Neck tension and hair pulling may cause these feelings. Gentle neck stretches, rest, and warm compresses on your neck can help relax muscles.

"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.

Head pain problems back said too painful my self
Male | 36
Your head hurts and your back too. This can be a result of nervousness, worry, and you might not even notice your sitting or looking at a screen. Give yourself time to walk around, stretch, and perform relaxation methods. You can also apply a warm compress to the painful areas and exercise walking Somewhat slow, easy walking, and jogging are also good for the body. And if the pain is still there, let a specialist examine it.

Female | 26
Brain tumors are scary. Headaches, blurry eyes, speaking weird, stumbling around, and mood swings happen. They might come from genes, radiation, or yucky chemicals. To know for sure, doctors look at pictures of your brain from an MRI or CT scan. If you're worried, ask a neurologist to get checked out. With the right care, tumors can be treated properly.

Polonged dizziness requires attention. Causes range from inner ear issues to low blood sugar levels. Anxiety and dehydration can also trigger dizziness episodes. However, sometimes it signals a bigger health concern. If dizziness plagues you frequently, see a neurologist. They'll investigate and recommend proper treatment. Meanwhile, take precautions to avoid falls or injuries.

I am a 14 year old female and i am having a small migrane on the left side on my head. just now when i was sitting down with my head slightly tilted a clear liquid of a few drops came out from my nose, i searched it up and it said something about CSF liquid? some liquid surrounding the brain or what. I just want to check if its nothing serious and if i can continue my day
Female | 14
Cerebrospinal Fluid (CSF) is a clear liquid that surrounds the brain. Sometimes, a small tear in the tissue around the brain can cause this fluid to leak through your nose. This may cause pressure or headaches on one side of your head. It’s important to rest and avoid activities that could worsen your condition. If your headache gets worse or you feel very unwell, visit a neurologist.

My girlfriend suddenly fell unconscious after crying so baldy and after waking up after 5 mins she couldn’t remember anything she even didn’t remember that we were calling
Female | 17
Your girlfriend fainted, it seems. Crying hard can make blood pressure drop - that makes people faint sometimes. She might've forgotten a bit too. Stay calm, reassure her. Let her rest, drink water, get fresh air. If it happens lots, see a neurologist.

I been dealing with head jerking, eye blinking, hand movements, and sounds for a year now. I currently have no insurance but I'm working on getting some. How can I go about this?
Female | 26
You might be showing signs of Tourette syndrome. Discharge syndrome causes you to move suddenly and sound the same repeatedly without your consent. The brain has a medical malfunction known as a neurological disorder. For this, you must make an appointment with a neurologist, the moment your insurance starts, because it is something you should treat as soon as possible. Possible ways of treatment include psychotherapy or medications.

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 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.

Vertigo is the sensation of perceiving that everything is moving without the body moving. Weakness and headaches may have various causes such as dehydration, stress, lack of sleep, or even certain medical conditions.

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.

I've been suffering from chronic headaches for nearly 10 years, and I've been taking Vasograin daily to manage the pain. If I don't take the medicine, the headache starts again, and it happens every day.Why is it happening ?
Female | 38
You are possibly having a kind of headache referred to as a "medication overuse headache." The condition may arise if you are too dependent on medications such as Vasograin which brings about pain relief. The medicine is responsible for daily headaches that return if not taken. The method is to use Vasograin less frequently and under medical supervision. This way, the cycle of overuse will be interrupted, and the treatment of your headaches will be more efficient.
