Can one dose of doxycycline cause cranial hypertension?
I’m taking one time dosage of 200mg of doxycycline as pep for possible exposure to sti. Iv heard that doxycycline causes cranial hypertension How likely is that to happen to me from one dosage
Neurosurgeon
Answered on 8th June '24
It is not very likely to get intracranial high blood pressure from a single 200mg dose of doxycycline. Intracranial high blood pressure is an uncommon side effect that may lead to headaches, changes in vision, and nausea. Adequate hydration can help in its prevention. Don’t forget to follow your provider’s instructions when taking this medicine and inform them about any worries you might have.

I'm 32 yrs old and feeling dizziness and vomiting sensation in sleep Not able to sleep
Male | 32
Inner ear problems, low blood sugar, or even anxiety are examples of things that can invoke the said symptoms. On the other hand, you can use this sleeping position technique of slightly lifting your head, smaller meals before sleeping, and drinking enough water all day to minimize it. For persistent symptoms, the best option is to consult a neurologist for proper diagnosis and evaluation.

I have had a headache for 4 days now and 2 out of the 4 days have been migraine like headaches
Female | 19
Migraines can be very hard. They often come with throbbing pain in your head. You may feel sick to your stomach. Light and sounds make it worse. Not enough sleep and stress can cause migraines. Some foods can start them too. Make sure you eat good stuff. Drink lots of water. Get lots of rest. If headaches keep happening, talk to a doctor.

My grandfather age is 69 he had second brain stroke after 3 month now he able to speak slow slow today he got anger and eat food by himself without ask anyone after I ask him is any problem you in eat he said no problem and easy to eat . so please doctor suggest me can we start giving him food by mouth
Male | 69
It is quite predictable for a person who had a stroke for the second time to have trouble speaking and experiencing behavior changes. The good thing is that he ate without any problem which is a way forward. His improved swallowing ability is reflected in his independent eating skills. It's necessary to lay a good basis by cutting out soft foods and liquids to avoid choking. Let him carry out the process of swallowing without being rushed. It's recommended that a speech therapist or a healthcare provider be the one to provide him with a diet plan that he must follow carefully.

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 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.

5,6 തുടങ്ങിയിട്ട് ഇടക്കിയ്ടക്ക് തലകറക്കം വരുക മേലെ നോക്കിക്കുടാ പിന്നിൽ നോക്കിക്കൂടാ അപ്പോയെക്കും തല കറക്കം വരുന്നു എന്തു കൊണ്ടാണ് ഇങ്ങനെ വരുന്നത് പിന്നെ നെറ്റിയുടെ രണ്ടു സൈഡിലു വേദന വരുക
Female | 28
You are suffering from a tension headache. A typical characteristic of this problem is that you constantly feel like a tight band is wrapping around the head. A person may get this headache due to the brain's reaction to a stressful, tense environment, constant poor body mechanics, or eyestrain. One way to alleviate it is to relax, maintain good posture, and have screen breaks. Easy and gentle exercises for the neck can also be quite helpful. In addition to keeping your body hydrated and well-rested, you can treat yourself to a regular massage.

i hit my head three months ago. it was bleeding and i went to the hospital. they did a CAT scan, said no bleeding on the brain, it was deep but no stitches and no sign of concussion. Now three months later i have tenderness and pain where i hit my head
Male | 73
After an impact to the head, some lingering discomfort and tenderness is quite typical. This could stem from a small patch of scar tissue forming at the injury site. Applying cold packs and taking pain medication can provide relief. However, if the pain persists or intensifies, consulting a neurologist would be advisable for further assessment.

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.

Having Constant headaches
Female | 17
Constant headaches are caused due to tension headaches, migraines, eye strain, lack of sleep etc. Consult with your doctor to determine the cause and develop treatment plan. In the meantime stay hydrated, get enough sleep, avoid triggers such as certain foods or activities, and take pain relievers as directed.

I have 1 pea size lymph node on both side of my neck since 1 month I also have post nasal drip.. I feel numbness like feeling in my neck throat and mouth some times I feel tingling in my head.. From yesterday I feel mild pain in front side of my neck
Female | 28
Your body fights infections through swollen lymph nodes in your neck. Post nasal drip irritates your throat and mouth, causing numbness. Tingling in your head might stem from sensitive nerves. It's crucial to get evaluated and treated by a neurologist. They'll determine the underlying cause and provide proper care for your symptoms.

Sir, I have headache like tight band with nausea,stress,tension. Sir,Please give me some medicines for relief.
Male | 17
I see that you have a tight band headache around your head and feel like vomiting because of anxiety and stress as well. These signs might mean that you have a tension-type headache; typically caused by bad posture at work or eyestrain from looking at computer screens all day long. You could take some painkillers such as paracetamol or ibuprofen to help relieve the pain in your head. Moreover try and calm down by breathing deeply plus drink lots of water. If this feeling doesn’t go away please go see a doctor so they can check it out.

Why my headache is not going away? It’s a throbbing headache in the temple of my head.
Female | 25
The throbbing headache you've got is likely tension-related. Stress, fatigue, poor posture, or skipping meals can trigger these kinds of headaches. Be sure to drink plenty of water. Try relaxing with deep breaths or meditation too. If the headache won't quit, take a break. Rest in a calm, dark room for a bit.

I met with a head injury after a bike accident and suffered inter parenchymal bleeding as per ct scan doctors said I am alive just because blood did not clot inside head and it went out but m still facing issues with my memory after 2 months of the incident,in that accident my jaw was also dislocated but they operated it and fixed I don't know what is causing me memory problems
Male | 23
Memory trouble following a blow to the head might be due to the way it affects your brain. When the brain’s tissues become injured, this can impact its ability to store and recall information. Sometimes these kinds of injuries need time to heal so make sure you’re getting plenty of rest and eating well while also seeing your neurologist for regular check-ups. They might even recommend certain therapies designed specifically for improving memory.

Fall can be caused by many problems, including balance disorders, vision problems, or muscle weakness.
