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.

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 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.

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.

My dad is 70 yrs old, had seizures since last October, diagnosed with testicular tumour and hypertension, an operation was done and he was OK, then the seizures recurred again about 6 times since January but last night was the worst. 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.

Sir, I am 17 years old. I have headache for last one year. I have also some symptoms like nausea,sickness, tension,stress. I forget what I say.

Male | 17

The condition of a person can worsen due to having headaches, nausea, and being under pressure from having too much work to do. This type of symptoms may occur due to different things such as; lack of enough sleep, poor eating habits, or being overwhelmed by what is happening around them. Make sure you look after yourself. Get enough sleep and eat well.

In advanced cases, deep brain stimulation may be considered. Exercise and stress management, are also important. The treatment approach is normally tailored to each individual's needs and may require regular adjustments and monitoring.

Help me dr headache problem

Male | 22

There are many reasons why people get headaches.  For example, pressure or strain due to stress can cause it; failure to drink water may also contribute, and spending too much time looking at a screen can be another factor.  To relieve yourself of these symptoms ensure that you are taking enough water and breaks as much as possible from screens while getting adequate sleep each night. If they persist then see a doctor immediately.
