Have a pulsating headache on both sides of my head since a month
Female | 18
Steady throbbing in your head for a month straight is a real downer. That might mean tension headaches. Stress, no sleep, eyes straining too much - those things can cause them. Take breaks from computer screens. Relax your body and mind. Sleep enough hours each night. Pain relievers you can buy without a prescription might help. Drink lots of water, too. But if the headaches won't go away, you should visit a neurologist to get checked out properly.

Day before yesterday high pressure happened admitted to the hospital they injection some medicine and control the pressure after that they are sleeping tired not wakeup properly I ask to eat but they have not wakeup up they sleep only why what happened how to do next or how many days it can happened to recover
Male | 50
It is usual to have the side effects of tiredness and drowsiness after use of such drugs. But if they are unable to come to life properly, it may be an indicator that the dosage of the medication needs to be modified. The first few days may be hard for them but then they will start to improve and feel normal again. Make sure they get plenty of sleep and drink lots of water. If the symptoms continue or become more severe, get in touch with their doctor for further instructions.

I am 41 years old, since 1 year I feel dizzy, can't concentrate on any work, body feels weak, sometimes headache, forehead, head and eyes feel heavy.
Male | 41
You may be showing signs of stress, sleep deprivation or even not drinking enough water. When we are under pressure and worn out our bodies feel feeble and our heads become heavy. Rest well, take water regularly and have short breaks during work to unwind. Consider seeking further advice from a medical professional if these feelings persist.

I am 35 years age. I have migraine intense pain for last 6 years.
Female | 35
Migraine is a problem with which people have to endure pulsating headaches, become nauseous, and become weak to both light and sound. They can be provoked by stress, insufficient sleep, and some types of food. The most significant thing to do is to manage your stress, get sufficient sleep, and remove the food that triggers you, which are three helpful ways to avoid migraines. You also ought to see a neurologist to be diagnosed and treated.

I misread numbers a lot, for example I had to do an essay of 2000 words I clearly saw 2000 but days later I heard it was 1000 and I went to check it again and it was seriously 1000. And whenever I see on my laptop huge paragraphs all over my screen, my eyes feel weird like I cant focus or something. Is it normal?
Female | 19
You could have an eye issue called asthenopia. It happens when your eyes get tired from reading words or screens for too long. Some reasons are looking at screens for hours or using the wrong glasses. To help, take breaks often, adjust the lighting, and maybe get an eye exam for new glasses.

Last year, I got sick pretty bad. It started with migraine like headaches then intense body pain and severe back and neck pain. It was followed by fatigue, muscle stiffness and dizziness. No amount of painkillers relieved the pain. I couldn't even walk properly, someone had to hold me to get through hospitals. I got several tests done including MRI, EEG, B12, vitamin tests, eye tests, CBC and X ray for my back. There were a few vitamin deficiencies but they shouldn't have caused that much pain according to the doctors, MRI was pretty much normal. There were few abnormalities with my XRay in spine but again they were mild and not severe enough to cause me such intense pain. I took medication or migraine, some medication to make my nerves strong and I think some anxiety meds because they suspected GAD (all were prescribed by doctors). Most physicians suggested I go to a psychologist and the psychologist referred me back to physicians and I went back and forth. I got better after bed rest but I had to go back to college because I was missing on my studies. But I fell sick again, cramps like pain, consistent fever but on and off. I got tested for typhoid and other things but absolutely nothing. Then I went to a neuropsychiatrist who told me I had fibromyalgia, it aligned pretty well since I always had memory gaps as well and I've been concerned about it for a while. The medication he gave me worked, I for the first time in months started feeling better but as time passed by, it stopped working for me. I couldn't continue the medication due to expenses as well. So, I've been in pain ever since. When I've had a tiring day the pain is bad, when I am stressed it's worse. Every morning I wake up with pain and every night I go to bed in pain cuz it's worse in the mornings and night. If I rest too much, that's painful and if I don't that's painful too. Fever also shoots up every now and then. My body is in pain and exhausted, everything is difficult, walking up or down the stairs. Although some days it's better but other days it's difficult to even move, painkillers do absolutely nothing. I don't know what to do anymore

It could be fibromyalgia. This condition causes widespread pain in your body along with tenderness too – plus other things like being tired often or having trouble sleeping well. However, there are ways to handle this. For example, physical therapy might help ease some of the hurt; moderate activities such as walking or swimming could be beneficial because they won’t make the ache worse but can still keep muscles from getting too stiff; also relaxation methods (e.g., mindfulness meditation/deep breathing) may relieve stress which often worsens any existing discomfort. Besides that, proper rest is crucial, so try getting enough sleep each night; nutrition matters, so eat healthily; don’t push yourself too hard.

Is there any treatment for optical nerve injury vision loss
Male | 32
The optic nerve is crucial for the eyes to send signals to the brain for clear vision. Blurred sight, color vision loss, and even blindness can occur. Causes include head trauma, inflammation, glaucoma, and other diseases. Sadly, damaged optic nerves can't fully heal. But treating root causes and eye care may stop further harm. Seeing an eye doctor regularly helps manage vision changes, and keeps eyes healthy.

I have migraine in left side
Male | 22
Headaches on one side of your head, throbbing with each pulse. Loud noises and bright lights feel like knives. Sometimes, nausea even joins in. This unwelcome guest? A migraine. Certain foods, stress, lack of sleep, or hormonal changes can trigger it. But you can fight back! Stay hydrated, breathe deeply, and find calm. Pay attention to what triggers it. If migraines don't take the hint, talk to a neurologist.

Woman, 25 years, 65 kg weight, 173 cm height. Headache all the time for last 5-10 years, sometimes very strong,I have even lost consciousness, but usually semi strong all the time, it gets better only when someone is pushing(squeezing) my head, best from front (forehead).
Female | 25
You might be a victim of tension headaches. The pain can often be described as a squeezing sensation around your head. The stresses in life can eventually lead to the worsening of these issues. They are also capable of causing you to lose consciousness. Start with relaxation techniques like slow breathing and easy neck moves. Never forget to drink water and reduce the stress to prevent these headaches. If the headaches continue or worsen, a visit to a neurologist is always recommended.

Headache, shrinking of hands and legs, foaming at the mouth
Male | 35-40
Severe head pain which radiates to the neck with stiffening neck and the legs and foaming at the mouth are potential symptoms that can be addressed as epilepsy. Epilepsy is a disorder of the brain characterized by the occurrence of abnormal electrical activity, sending inappropriate signals through the nervous system. It is of course injuriously crucial to make it the first choice to see a specialist doctor in case of these symptoms. The common method for the treatment of epilepsy is drug use for control of the seizure and prevention of a future occurrence.

i'm getting extreme severe pain at the back of head. it's feeling as if someone's hitting me with hammer with each heartbeat. I had lunch in the afternoon and slept. The pain has been there from the moment I woke up. It's in the occipital region, like the occipital headache. I'm assuming 4 main reasons. 1st one is gastric pain(if gas pain has been struck in my head). it occured to me before and also maybe this time since I didn't walk after having lunch, i usually have gastric issue. 2nd is I have severe wax in my ear. my ear's also paining, so i'm assuming this back head pain because of ear wax. third is the stress/strain which i've been experiencing from a month or so, due to the exam fear n stress, i didn't sleep properly from a month and yesterday night I had undergone an incident with the biggest stress in my life, so, i'm assuming that. 4th reason is that frm childhood, i have severe severe body heat within my body, my body overheats a lot within and i had continously overheating food from 2 days and didn't drink much water, so i'm also assumung pain because of overheating. pls tell me the final diagnosis. Dear Sir/Mam, you can cross question me how much ever deep u want ! jus give me the cause n solution pls doctor! i'll be really really grateful to u sir/mam
Male | 20
You described severe pain hitting the back of your head with every heartbeat. Several factors might contribute.
- First, gas trapped in the body could cause gastric discomfort radiating upwards.
- Second, built-up earwax might trigger ear pain spreading to the head.
- Third, stress and strains from exams could manifest as tension headaches.
- Fourth, overheating due to excess body heat production could cause throbbing pain.
To address these potential causes: Walk after meals for better digestion and gas relief. Gently clean ears or seek professional ear wax removal. Practice relaxation, get ample sleep and find support for stress management. Stay hydrated and maintain balanced nutrition to regulate body temperature. However, if the intense hammering pain persists or worsens, promptly consult a neurologist for proper diagnosis and treatment.

I have a huge headache all the time
Male | 30
You're dealing with a persistent headache, which can be tough to endure. Common causes include stress, dehydration, or lack of sleep. It might also stem from eye strain or tension in your neck and shoulders. To help, try drinking more water, getting enough rest, and practicing relaxation techniques like deep breathing or gentle stretching. If the headache persists, consider consulting a neurologist for further evaluation.

I’ve been having a lot of uncomfortable symptoms. After I’ve been sitting for a while, when I stand my lower leg feels numb and tingling. I don’t have a way to check my temperature but I’ve been feeling really hot & cold. I’m worried.
Female | 22
Nerves can get compressed if you sit still for too long. Such a condition makes you feel a tingling sensation when you stand up. If you experience the feeling of extreme heat and cold, then your body is probably unable to maintain its temperature. Try to stretch and exercise a bit more while sitting. Besides, drink enough water daily. If these symptoms persist, consult a neurologist for a more in-depth assessment.

i suffered a TBI, it was almost 8 months ago but recently have been getting super hot out of no where, getting persistent headaches even after drinking water and sometimes pain medicine, everything gets very bright, i get dizzy, i feel nauseous and if i smell anything good or bad it makes me gag, what should i do?
Female | 17
You might be suffering from post-concussion syndrome. This can often occur after traumatic brain injury. The main symptoms are the sudden surge of heat, constant headaches, light, and smell sensitivity, dizziness, and vomiting. Taking a break from activities that require mental concentration, drinking enough water, steering clear of triggers, and keeping in touch with your neurologist are all necessary steps for your recovery. They can offer help of the right kind that would be suitable for you.

I am 18 years old boy and I have very mild epilepsy and I am on medication and not getting seizures. I want to take L- Citrulline as a pre-workout supplement. Is it safe ?
Male | 18
L-Citrulline is a supplement that is usually safe, but if you have epilepsy and are already taking medication, it is better to be careful. L-Citrulline may interfere with the medication you are taking for epilepsy, so it is best to consult a neurologist before introducing it to your routine. Your doctor will make sure it won't create any difficulties for you.

This is Geeta Hegde.My son Sooraj is taking medication for migraine headache from Monday October 7 th. prescribed by you sir.Headache is getting worse. Does he need to stop the medicine? Or continue taking it.Had MRI on Monday and everything was normal. Thank you.
Male | 18
If your son's migraine medication is making his headache worse, it's important to not stop or change the dosage on your own. Since the MRI results are normal, I suggest consulting the neurologist who prescribed the medicine. They will guide you on whether to adjust the medication or explore other treatment options.
