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 18 and have recently been experiencing heavy memory loss (ex. unable to remember names, forgetting how to do tasks, driving unknown places). I have an appointment but I'm unsure whether I should go to urgent care for this instead or not.
Female | 18
Memory loss, particularly at a young age, is a matter of concern. Forgetfulness, having difficulties remembering names or tasks, and getting lost can be the signs of a serious issue. It might be due to stress, a lack of sleep, or a medical problem such as a brain injury or dementia. Getting a checked-up by a neurologist is essential. They can figure out the reason and offer the right treatment to help your memory improvement.

Perhaps your radial nerve injury led to a permanent loss of finger extension. It is better to visit a neurologist or an orthopedic surgeon to get an accurate diagnosis and what the possible treatments could be. They may also refer you to a hand specialist if necessary.

im a 13 year old female who experienced fainting for the first time and i’ve been having headaches and getting dizzy my knee then hurt suddenly but i taped it and it has been better
Female | 13
It’s understandable to feel concerned after experiencing fainting, headaches, dizziness, and sudden knee pain. These symptoms might be related to dehydration, low blood sugar, or even stress. It’s great to hear you’ve used tape on your knee, which can help stabilize it. Ensure you are drinking enough fluids, eating balanced meals, and getting enough rest. However, since this is your first fainting episode and you have multiple symptoms, it’s really important to speak with a neurologist. They can provide a thorough evaluation and tailored advice to ensure your safety and well-being.

I face severe headache problem
Female | 20
Myocardial infarctions are the leading cause of the medical field's death, which can be traced back to a bunch of varieties like stress, migraines, and sinus troubles. Common signs and symptoms of the disorder are a pulsating or beating headache, being sensitive to light, and the on-and-off feeling of nausea. Relieving the pain always goes hand in hand with getting enough water, doing away with stress through relaxation techniques, and having regular sleep patterns. Over-the-counter pain medication can, likewise, be helpful. However, if hyperemia develops or worsens, consult a neurologist.

My uncle is 67 years old with lung cancer and been in remission for a while. He suffers bad migraines. He was getting shots and nothing worked. He said he hit his head a couple times and developed a subdermal hematoma. He started throwing up and took him to er they transferred him to toledo hospital where they did burr holes and released blood from his brain. He is not recovering or answering any questions properly. Now he has air in the burrs. Last scan showed no air but blood has moved to the back of his head. They are giving fentanyl by IV and npo. 3 days not eating.He is confused and restrained. No communication with a doctor since after surgery We been here since Thursday He had his surgery friday. Should I take him somewhere else? His cancer is not killing him. These headaches from chemo and radiation after effects I believe.
Male | 67
The headache and confusion he is experiencing might be due to the hematoma, which is a blood clot in his brain. The air in the burr holes is concerning. The brain cannot tolerate excess blood, as it may cause problems. At least the pain medicine is helping him. His recovery process might be a bit lengthy. It's important to stay in constant communication with the doctors at the hospital.

My mother suffering from stroke last 3 days i have a ct scan report please analysis on it.
Female | 47
A stroke can lead to various symptoms, including weakness, confusion, or difficulty speaking. It happens due to disrupted blood flow to the brain, often from a clot or bleeding. The CT scan is vital for determining the type and extent of the stroke and guiding treatment. I strongly encourage you to share the results with her healthcare provider, as they can offer personalized insights and potential recovery plans tailored to her specific needs. Remember, professional medical support is crucial during this time. Be assured that there are effective approaches to assist her recovery journey.

Male | 39
Insufficient vitamin B12 amounts can lead to muscle aches and numbness which will be considerably suffered in fingers and legs. If your symptoms are related to low B12 levels, it may still be the case that your meat-eating habits do not have any effect. The best way to handle this with your doctor is to ask them to check your B12 levels and determine whether you need treatment or supplements.

Persistent headaches can stem from various sources, including tension, migraines, or even vision issues. It's essential to consider accompanying symptoms, such as nausea or light sensitivity, to better understand your situation. Maintaining hydration, practicing relaxation techniques, and ensuring regular sleep can be beneficial.

My wife has been recently diagnosed by one of neurologist a retinal migraine issue, she faces migraines headache in 2 or 3 months once only. Now the doctor has suggested few medicines which I think is affecting her mental health. She is prescribed with propranolol 25mg daily twice, topiramate 20 mg daily twice Due to this she always feel sleepy, dizziness, harsh behaviours, mood swings, lack of appetite, lack of focus, lack of confidence, feels awkward cannot stay awake, cannot use mobile for long time, headache affects her head daily in the evening mostly. She is using these medicine since two weeks, before she doesn't have these issue. She only had a migraine and she once had a spot in her right eye which goes after a week. But she has a small lump behind her ear which doctor mentioned it as a swellon nerve. Kindly please suggest is she getting correct treatment because her Condition is getting worse day by day in terms of mental health. She has a family history of migraine her mother and sisters.
Female | 34
Propranolol and topiramate sometimes result in symptoms such as drowsiness, lightheadedness, mood changes, and an inability to concentrate. You or she must discuss this with the neurologist who prescribed these drugs because they could fix this issue by adjusting dosages or prescribing different medications that would be effective against migraines without affecting mental stability. If the lump located at the back of her ear is not yet diagnosed then it should also get checked into by the doctor to find out if there might be any connection with other signs.

What is a sleep stroke?
Female | 30
There is no medical condition specifically referred to as a "sleep stroke." However, strokes can occur at any time, including during sleep. A stroke happens when blood flow to the brain is disrupted, either due to a blocked blood vessel (ischemic stroke) or bleeding in the brain (hemorrhagic stroke). The risk factors for stroke include hypertension, diabetes, smoking, and other cardiovascular conditions. If someone experiences symptoms like sudden numbness, confusion, trouble speaking, or severe headache, even during sleep, immediate medical attention is crucial.

You may have trouble sleeping. Not sleeping well means finding it hard to doze off or stay rested through the night. Daytime tiredness and lack of focus could signify this problem. Common culprits – anxiety, stress, and poor sleep patterns. To rest better, wind down before bed with calming activities. Avoid screens late at night. Most importantly, keep your sleep schedule consistent.
