I am 27 year old female I take sertraline I need to take betahistine for vertigo but I am afraid to take it because I’m scared of serious side effects or getting Steven Johnson syndrome
Female | 27
I get what you’re saying about using Betahistine with Sertraline. Don’t worry, few people get severe side effects like Steven Johnson Syndrome from Betahistine. Some common side effects might be a headache or an upset stomach. When you’re suffering from vertigo, it feels like everything is spinning around you. Betahistine works by increasing the blood flow within the inner ear which can help with this. However, it’s best to speak with your doctor before taking any medication.

One of the major culprits for neck pain, shoulder pain, and headache is the disorder called occipital neuralgia, cervical spondylitis, retrolisthesis, mucoceles, and rudimentary cervical ribs, which are the poles opposite to the normal clinical expressions of a person's health.

I can feel air moving thru the top of my head when I breath. Is that bad / dangerous?
Female | 25
Air can sometimes pass through the top of your head when you breathe. It may be due to a tiny hole in your skull or close to your sinuses. Or, you may have a blocked nose passage. See a doctor to know for sure. They can tell you the right reason and give treatment if needed.

Headache on frontal head with vomiting
Male | 59
Headaches at the front of your head, along with vomiting, can happen together. Common causes are migraines, tension, or sinus issues. To help, stay in a dark, quiet place, drink plenty of water, and avoid bright lights. Pain medicine might also help. If symptoms don't improve, see a doctor. It's important to rest and stay hydrated. If the symptoms are severe and ongoing, seek advice from a neurologist.

I am 22 years old and I’ve been having this problem I guess for a month where my cheekbones, my jaw part has been twitching for no particular reason. I would like to know the reason behind it
Female | 22
This condition called muscle twitches is typically benign, as it were. Stress, fatigue, or even the consumption of too much caffeine can be the causes of the condition. Try getting enough sleep, using relaxation techniques, and eating less caffeinated food. But if it still happens or becomes more intense, it's better to get it checked by a neurologist just in case.

Male | 17
The headache you have on the right side of your forehead may be a result of many things, examples being tension headaches, migraines, or sinus infections. It is recommended to consult a neurologist who will perform the physical exam and differentiate diagnoses of similar signs such as cognitive decline.

I am having hormonal migraines due to my period starting soon. My go-to remedies are not having any effect lately. I have already taken Excedrin but with no improvement. I want to take naproxen-sumatriptan. Can I take this after taking Excedrin? How long should I wait?
Female | 29
If Excedrin hasn't provided relief for your hormonal migraines, it's best not to take naproxen sumatriptan without consulting a doctor. Combining medications without guidance can be harmful. Seek advice from a healthcare provider or pharmacist for a safe alternative or proper timing to take naproxen-sumatriptan.

I am 25 years old, I am an epilepsy patient, Can I reduce my medicine ? I took medicine for epilepsy since I am child I didn't get seizure often , in 2019 I am get seizure Sir , is it cure or not ?
Female | 25
In case you are suffering from epilepsy, ensure that you adhere to the doctor’s prescription regarding your medication. It is still important to keep taking medicine even if you do not get many seizures as this will help reduce chances of more occurring. Medication manages seizures; it does not cure them though. Always remember that it is necessary to consult a neurologist before changing any of your drugs.

I am 66 years old.Iam having sensorineural hearing loss since 2021.Iam not able to hear without hearing aid.is it possible to reverse my hearing.
Male | 66
Sensorineural hearing loss happens when hair cells in the inner ear are damaged. This condition is common and can't be reversed, but hearing aids can help by making sounds louder and reducing noise. It's important to protect your ears from loud noises to prevent further damage. Regular check-ups with an audiologist are essential for effective treatment.

Hello! I am 30 years old and i have vertigo around 2 years now. Always coming and goes but is back again after a month or two. When it comes i might have some attacks for a week or so. Now i had 9 vertigo's in 2 weeks and the last one just made me feel horrible. I have a headache and cant hear very well from both ears. I have noticed when i have sex with my partner after i finish i get vertigo 3 out of 10 times. I had made lots of check ups also gone to two doctors for my ears and also neurology and orthopedic saw my check ups and said they are fine. I dont know what else to do in order to stop it.
Male | 30
Those problems can be caused by numerous reasons that may include the inner ear, the vestibular system, or even stress. The good news is that previous investigations were negative for any significant underlying causes. Try keeping a symptom journal that will assist you in figuring out possible triggers. Besides, balance exercises and stress-reduction techniques might help. I suggest that you should consult a neurologist about various diagnostic options and treatments that suit your case the most.

what is difference between lacosamide tablets BP and lacosamide tablets Ph. Eur.
Male | 15
Lacosamide tablets BP and lacosamide tablets Ph. Eur. are essentially the same, with the only difference being how they are approved for use in different countries. The symptoms, causes, and treatment are identical for both. The therapy works by normalizing abnormal electrical activity in the brain. Stick to the medication prescribed by your neurologist and follow their advice carefully.

35 year old male. Dull ache in top back of neck, on and off for 2 months but more constant now. Can come with head aches and occasional vertigo
Male | 35
It is plausible that the person has tension headaches due to muscle pain in his or her neck and shoulder. With occasional vertigo, other causes should be ruled out such as abnormalities in the cervical spine or inner ear. The individual is advised to consult a neurologist for more evaluation and treatment of these manifestations.

Gene therapy can cure mascular dystrophy
Male | 24
Muscular dystrophy is when the muscles are gradually deprived of the power they possess to work. Thus, even the most basic movements can become a challenge for sufferers. The reason for this is the malfunction of the genes. Gene therapy is a method that can help in the modification of these genes. It comes with the promise of restoring the mutated genes in muscular dystrophies and substituting them for healthy ones. This can be done through the improvement of the contractility of the muscles and hence, the whole body over a longer period.

Please help me We're in a war zone and can't take to a hospital What can I do ?
Male | 70
Seizures can be scary, especially when they happen often. In his case, they might be due to the testicular tumor or other health issues. To help him, keep him safe during a seizure by moving away harmful objects and laying him on his side. Comfort him and stay with him until it ends. Watch for any new symptoms and, if possible, gently clean any wounds he may have gotten. It's important to stay calm and supportive. Although you can't go to a hospital right now, keep monitoring his condition and get medical help as soon as possible.
