Possible Diagnosis for Severe Occipital Headache
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

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 am 58 years old, I suffer mnd, how to cure it?
Male | 58
MND is short for motor neuron disease. A few standard symptoms of this disease are muscle weakness, twitching, and trouble walking. What happens is that the nerve cells controlling movement gradually die off, causing MND. Unfortunately, there is currently no cure for it. Though, treatments exist that can help to manage symptoms and improve your quality of life. For example, physical therapy may be used alongside drugs to enhance mobility and comfort levels. You must collaborate closely with a neurologist so that they can figure out the most suitable treatment plan for you.

The vein on the right side of my head has been twitching for a few days.
Female | 29
The twitchy vein on your head's right side could be caused by stress or lack of sleep. Too much caffeine might also make it happen. Eye strain and being dehydrated are other possible reasons for twitching veins. Be sure to drink enough water, get proper rest, and try reducing stress levels. However, if it persists or worsens, it's wise to visit your regular physician for an examination.

Sir, I have headache like tight band with nausea, stress and tension. Sir please give me some medicines for relief.
Male | 17
You may have a tension headache. This headache feels like a tight band around the head and can cause vomiting. Common causes for these headaches include stress and tension, poor sleeping habits, or eye strain from looking at screens too much. To alleviate your symptoms, you should take some non-prescription painkillers such as acetaminophen or ibuprofen. Additionally, get enough rest and drink plenty of water while trying relaxation methods like deep breathing exercises or light workouts. If they don’t go away or get worse it would be best if you visited your doctor so that he could give them proper attention.

Paralysis of legs due to Bone tb Treatment is going on(6months) Reports ESR test suggests that the infection is very low now
Male | 47
It is a gradual process, and it might take some time to observe meaningful results. But the low ESR test is a good sign, therefore meaning that infection has been controlled. I recommend a neurologist consultation to assess the nature and origin of paralysis which can be treated accordingly.

Male | 23
The pain might be due to nerve compression affecting the L3, L4, L5, and S1 vertebrae in your legs. It's best to see a neurologist, as they specialize in this area. They might suggest medications to reduce pain and inflammation. Physiotherapy and simple exercises could help relieve the pain and strengthen your back and core muscles, which will benefit your health in the long run.

I have tremors after taking medication. Is it tardive dyskinesia or drug-induced Parkinsonism?
Female | 37
This condition could be a result of Tardive Dyskinesia or the so-called Drug-Induced Parkinsonism. On development, tardive dyskinesia, you may experience involuntarily jittery movements in the face and extremities. Functional Parkinsonism may make you look stiff and result in slow movements. Ask your neurologist to adjust or change the dosage of your medication.

Tooth ache Head ache at soft spot in head Difficulty talking Blurry vision on right eye expecially if I close and open it Fatigue Can't sit upright Can't stand upright Difficulty remembering things Facial pain Pressure on nose bridge Numb toe finger My neck feels like there's someone touching it taken pain relief but it doesn't do much
Female | 20
You have got a mix of symptoms that could be related to each other. Toothache, headache at the soft spot in your head, difficulty in talking, blurry vision, fatigue, and memory problems are the symptoms of neurologic problems or even vascular problems in the brain. The pressure on your nose bridge and the soreness of the face could be caused by sinus problems. Numbness in your toe finger is possibly caused by nerve compression issues. The neck pains and soreness during sitting or standing straight may be due to the spinal cord. It is important to see a neurologist promptly for a proper evaluation and treatment plan.

Recurrent balanitis operation, like many other surgeries, has often anesthesia administration as a side effect that leads patients to experience post-operation headaches. This may be due to drinking too little water, using medications, or other problems with the disease. You have to see a physician or a neurologist for that to be examined and treated.

I am a healthy 67 year old, recently I have ɓeen falling down and it takes me over an hour to get myself back up. I don't have diabetes, or high blood pressure, or any heart problems. What could cause something like this??
Female | Tina Carlson
One possible cause of this is muscle weakness or loss of balance due to old age; problems like these can make it more difficult for you to stand back up. You need to talk to a neurologist about it. They might suggest some exercises that will help improve your strength and stability, as well as other treatments aimed at preventing future falls.

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.

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.

I’ve having this pain in my head and usually on one side and switches after couple of days, and get this feeling of electric shocks in my head and that my head is really heavy and hurts alot when moving and its been for a month now
Female | 20
You could be suffering from migraines. In the case of one-sided headaches in the beginning, one-sided headaches moving to the other side, electric shock feelings, and a heavy head that gets worse with movement, migraines may be responsible. Stress, sleep deprivation, consuming certain foodstuffs, or routine alteration can be the factors leading to a migraine attack. Relaxation, sleeping enough, drinking water, and avoiding triggers are some of the ways you can use to cope. In case it persists, contact a neurologist.

You look like you are having weakness, with an unfamiliar sensation in your neck, and a spacey stomach. The causes could be varied, like a viral infection or dehydration. It is a must to drink water and have a rest. If they last long or become stronger, it is better to get a neurologist to guide you on what to do.

now a days I'm feeling my chest is too heavy and headache from one week and I'm not getting sleep at night and abdominal pain , leg pain , little bit problems while breathing , and feeling too much irritating and always overthinking and I'm not getting how to come out of that.
Female | 17
The heaviness in your chest, headache, trouble sleeping, abdominal pain, leg pain, breathing problems, irritability, and overthinking should be the concerning symptoms. Stress, anxiety, or even physical issues could be why this is happening. You have to take care of yourself, in which you can use relaxation techniques, talk to someone you trust about how you're feeling, practice deep breathing exercises, stay hydrated, eat well, and get some light exercise. If your symptoms continue or worsen, seek advice from a neurologist who can guide you further.
