You seem to experience peculiar sensations in your head. The backstory of occipital neuralgia and antidepressants might shed light. The chilly feeling and tingling atop your head could stem from nerve sensitivity or medication side effects. Keeping your neurologist informed about these symptoms is crucial, so they can offer suitable guidance and potentially modify your treatment if needed.

Male | 69
Your grandfather might be experiencing tongue problems acquired after a recent stroke. This is the term for dysphagia, which is difficulty in swallowing and speaking. Amazingly, he can now open his mouth and move his tongue slowly. For him to make a full recovery, speech therapy might be useful. Exercises and techniques help in the aspect of toning control of the tongue and swallowing, adding to the general treatment of dysphagia.

I am 23 years old. I am feeling dizzy all of sudden. what should I do doctor.
Female | 23
Dizziness strikes out of nowhere. Causes range from dehydration to blood sugar drops or even ear infections. If hit with dizziness, sit or lie down, sip water slowly, and relax. Maybe munch on a snack if low blood sugar's suspected. But persistent dizziness warrants seeing a doctor; determine the real reason.

I’m 18 year old female, 5.5 and 1/2 160 pounds, for the past 3 months I’ve been having dizzy spells, blurry vision and sometimes loss of vision, my whole body heats up, sometimes I puke, it happens a lot when I get out of the shower and I don’t take hot showers. I take Vyvanse,
Female | 18
This sounds like the symptoms of a condition called postural orthostatic syndrome (POTS). POTS can make you feel dizzy, lightheaded, or faint when you stand up. It can also cause your vision to blur when standing up, heat intolerance, and nausea upon standing up. Vyvanse could worsen these symptoms. Drinking lots of fluids and adding more salt to your diet might help. Talk to your doctor about this.

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.

I have sleep disorder, and an underlying diagnosis of Myasthenia Gravis. Also, have Nasal septum slight deviation, and turbinate hypertrophy. Have not been able to sleep for more than an hour or 2, for past 3-4 months. Have been told to do Sleep study, but I have anxiety with putting cords or mask, so couldn't even do a Sleep study due to Nasal cannula requirement. Also, I feel difficulty breathing in flat position, and usually because of that fear, haven't laid flat in past 2-3 months. How should I go about solving this issue? Where to start?
Female | 77
It's normal to feel anxious about a sleep study. Your symptoms could be related to Myasthenia Gravis or a nasal issue, especially if you have trouble breathing when lying flat. Good sleep is vital for your health, so share your concerns with your healthcare team. They may suggest alternatives like home sleep tests or other ways to improve your sleep. Identifying the cause of your sleep problems is key to finding the right solution for you.

Something popped on the right side of my brain, and it feels soar and has tiny spurts of pain. When it first happens I had light headaches around my head. Nothing seriously painful, and I’m having dizzy spells. Nothing uncontrollable but it’s weird.
Male | 35
The description seems as if you might have a certain issue called a migraine. Zapping sensations in the brain are the "popping" which can be accompanied by a headache and dizziness. The pain is temporary but, these headaches can feel sore to the point of causing a brief moment of pain. A lot of times, the cause of the migraines is stress, deprivation of sleep, and high intake of certain foods. Along with the symptoms, you might want to rest in a quiet, dark room and drink fluids to hydrate. If the symptoms continue or worsen, visit a neurologist for additional treatment and checking.

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.

I'm a 35 year old man. I have numbness in both my hands for the last 4 days and today my lips are also numb. What should I do?
Male | 25
It might be numbness of hands and lips which could be a nerve problem. The main causes can be a lack of vitamins or compression of nerves. Make sure that your meals are diversified. Rather, try different procedures of raising your hands and be careful to keep the pressure off the nerves. Ask a neurologist to rule out possible causes if symptoms don't disappear or worsen.

Female | 22
You've been dealing with a headache that keeps coming back. According to what you said, you might be facing a tension headache. Tension headaches can send pain to one side of your head, around your temple, eye, ear, and neck. Stress, poor posture, or not getting enough sleep can take them. It is necessary to regulate stress, exercise proper posture, and get enough rest. If the headache persists, it is a good idea to consult with a neurologist for further evaluation and personalized advice.

Moreover, these drugs can aggravate these symptoms in Parkinson's disease patients.

Why does my mind feel clear and I got tap water up my nose is my mind feeling clear a symptom of the brain eating amoeba?
Male | 15
Getting tap water in your nose won't give you brain-eating amoeba. When water enters through nostrils, it brings sensation of mental clarity due to temperature difference. However, that amoeba is very uncommon, causing severe signs like intense headaches, fever, and disorientation. Avoid letting water enter the nose, especially in warm freshwater regions. But feeling refreshed after accidental nasal water entry doesn't indicate the presence of that frightening amoeba.

Your dad is experiencing dizziness, even though his heart, ENT, and neurology tests were normal.

My daughter is 11 years, she is having a persistent headache for past one month, doctors have ruled out migraine, sinusitis and the MRI reports are also normal...as per her she doesn't have any stress...would seek your suggestion.
Female | 11
It's confusing when tests don't reveal obvious causes like migraines or sinus issues, and her MRI looked normal. Some possibilities are tension headaches, eye strain, or dehydration. Encourage drinking lots of water, taking breaks from screens, and getting enough sleep. If headaches persist, see her neurologist again to explore other potential reasons and solutions. Ongoing pain is hard, but keep searching for answers.

I am suffering from hemifacial spasm. I want to cure it permanently. Pls help
Female | 38
A hemifacial spasm causes one side of your face to twitch involuntarily. This happens when a nerve gets irritated in your cheek area. Although uncontrolled facial twitching is unpleasant, treatment options like Botox injections or surgery exist. These can help relax the affected nerve, stopping the spasms. Such treatments aim to provide relief, improving your quality of life. So do not lose hope, as permanent solutions are available.
