Causes of Sudden Fainting: Medical Insights
What causes sudden faint
Neurosurgeon
Answered on 14th Aug '24
Sometimes, people faint unexpectedly. This occurs when blood doesn't reach the brain sufficiently. It might be low blood pressure, or maybe the heart rate dropped suddenly. Rapid standing, dehydration, and low blood sugar often cause fainting. To avoid it, stand up slowly from seated positions. Also, drink plenty of fluids regularly. Eating frequent meals helps maintain stable blood sugar levels.

Have a pulsating headache on both sides of my head since a month
Female | 18
Steady throbbing in your head for a month straight is a real downer. That might mean tension headaches. Stress, no sleep, eyes straining too much - those things can cause them. Take breaks from computer screens. Relax your body and mind. Sleep enough hours each night. Pain relievers you can buy without a prescription might help. Drink lots of water, too. But if the headaches won't go away, you should visit a neurologist to get checked out properly.

i am 20 years old female i am having twitching on left brain above ear and its been 3 days its happening
Female | 20
Twitching can be attributed to a lot of different things such as stress, being overworked, or too much coffee. At other times, the cause may be the nerve ability of the body. Make sure you sleep, eat healthfully, and drink enough water. You may wish to tell your medical provider that you are sleeping badly for this issue to be listed on your consultation form and assessed appropriately.

I am getting often headaches why
Female | 17
Headaches are a normal thing people get sometimes. The reasons can be stress, not sleeping well, not having enough water, or too much screen time. Even food or your surroundings may cause them. Drink water, get rest, eat healthy foods, and take breaks from screens regularly. Severe or frequent headaches mean you should talk to a neurologist. They happens for different reasons. It could be because of stress, lack of sleep, not drinking enough water, or even looking at screens for too long.

Female | 33
Epilepsy can be challenging at this time. It’s worrying that you have a few seizures each year. It may be a good idea to see a neurologist. They can help work out whether it’s safe for you to get pregnant while controlling your fitness. You need to strike the right balance for yourself and your unborn child too.

I tend to jump to worse case scenario but I recently got diagnosed with vertigo caused by middle ear fluid and recently it’s came back since where I am the weather has gotten worse and my vision is kind of blurry sometimes and I have a hard time focusing on someone when they are talking how likely is it that this is being caused by a brain tumor and not the middle ear vertigo or am I just completely over thinking this
Female | 21
The blurry vision and the difficulty in focusing can be the vertigo that the ear fluid causes. It is common and it does not mean that you have a brain tumor. The ear fluid can mess up your balance and vision. Usually, it gets better on its own, but you might need medicine or special exercises if the problem keeps bothering you.

Hello sir, I have a pain in my left side skul part ...it had so many years .but now thepain gets worst...more pain...that pain passes to the left sideof ear ,eye, throat, hand also ...and one more thing is...now left eye is getting pain and falls tears also...what is this symptoms
Female | 26
You could be undergoing a migraine experience. Migraines can bring about severe pain in the head which is usually unilateral. It can then spread from the eye, ear, throat, and sometimes even to tearing. Going through the menopause, you may have seasonal hormonal changes. Most people feel that climate change can trigger migraines. To try to avoid migraines, note what triggers to look for, practice some relaxation techniques, and get over-the-counter drugs used with guidance under the care of your doctor could be some good ideas.

Please help me I'm 38 years old I have pain all over my body I feel sick all the time I'm tried all the time and I have nights sweats for the last week
Male | 38
It seems like you may have some symptoms which could mean many things. Pain everywhere, feeling bad a lot, always being worn out, and sweating at night are all signs of different illnesses. A virus infection might be one cause but so could an immune system disorder or even just stress alone. You need to see a doctor so that they can find out what is going on with you exactly--and then give feedback that is helpful for treating whatever this turns out to be.

Hy. More than one month ago during shower I have washed my anus and ( probabile also my colon). I have removed the shower head and i have put the nozzle into my ass...like 3 or 4 times. Like 10 minutes later started a flash stabbing pain in my left big toe. Next days better little bit after i have niumbness, flashing sometimes prickling and tingling in my legs and arms. In this moment I have burning in my all upper body. ( in my back and arms burn , hot.) I don't have fever! So probabile I have neuropathy ( polyneuropathy) symptoms. My question is the anal douching it could have been caused this symptoms ? Or it's caused by something else?? I am 28 years old. I don't have other sickness. Sorry for my english.
Male | 28
Dependent on the symptoms given, it’s unlikely that anal douching causes your neuropathy symptoms. Neuropathy mostly comes from related factors such as diabetes or nerve injury neuropathy. For a proper diagnosis and treatment plan, see a neurologist. Meanwhile, avoid inserting anything into your anus and focus on staying healthy generally.

Female | 24
You experience stuttering, where speaking smoothly feels difficult. Maybe you feel nervous or tired. For some people, stuttering improves on its own, especially children. However, therapies, and techniques exist to support fluent speech. Speech therapy is one option. It's crucial to discuss with a speech therapist or doctor to find the appropriate path for you.

I am suffering from severe back pain for the last 4 days. My xray report says: bilateral sacralization of LV5 and body of LV2 shows wedging deformity anteriorly
Male | 33
Severe back pain may indicate different conditions that can be causing the pain. According to x-ray reports, you have a case of LV5 & LV2 and the anterior part of LV2 is going through wedge shape deformation. This tells me you have probably some vertebrae problems that need to be checked out by a spine expert. Print We recommend you make an appointment with a spinal surgeon.

I have pain in hands and feet, I also feel blurred vision, I am suffering from persistent mucus production, I am a high BP patient.
Male | 42
It seems like you might have systemic hypertension—this can lead to symptoms such as pain in the hands or feet, blurred vision, or more phlegm. These are all signs of high blood pressure. You need to check your blood pressure regularly and do what your doctor says to keep it under control. Changing your lifestyle by eating well-balanced meals, getting regular exercise, and dealing with stress can make things better for you.

i suffered a TBI, it was almost 8 months ago but recently have been getting super hot out of no where, getting persistent headaches even after drinking water and sometimes pain medicine, everything gets very bright, i get dizzy, i feel nauseous and if i smell anything good or bad it makes me gag, what should i do?
Female | 17
You might be suffering from post-concussion syndrome. This can often occur after traumatic brain injury. The main symptoms are the sudden surge of heat, constant headaches, light, and smell sensitivity, dizziness, and vomiting. Taking a break from activities that require mental concentration, drinking enough water, steering clear of triggers, and keeping in touch with your neurologist are all necessary steps for your recovery. They can offer help of the right kind that would be suitable for you.

My left hand is numb and sometimes have a tingling feeling, before it was from finger tips to wrists but it extended till elbows. I consulted a doc and he said that there is no sign of nerve injury as there is sweat in my hand. He said that if there is a nerve problem my hand will not sweat. He also said that it maybe because i may have it some bone or nerve unknowingly, and did not prescribe any medication. However the numbness is still there for nearly 2 days and it has extended till my shoulder joint. I have no feeling in my left hand. No pain no sense no feeling.
Male | 17
You’re having a health issue in your left hand, as notice of the deadness is still staying up to your shoulder. This might result from a compressed nerve or issues in your neck or shoulder. It is essential to make a doctor’s condition, request these tests, and do imaging tests such as MRI. Do not put off these symptoms.

What causes me to be dizzy and if I look at something it looks like it moving
Male | 54
Inner ear diseases, headaches and migraines, low blood pressure and some medications can cause dizziness or abnormal visual perceptions such as the illusion of movement. A neurologist should be consulted for the right diagnosis and treatment.

I’m a 26 year old female who is a diagnosed epileptic. I have been taking 200mg of lamotrigine since January. However I’m still having frequent seizures and cluster seizures so I’m looking to see if I could get an additional medication prescribed alongside the lamotrigine to support my symptoms and gain more control over my seizures.
Female | 26
It’s important to tell a neurologist about those symptoms again. Sometimes taking another medicine such as levetiracetam or valproate can help to bring seizures under control. These drugs act in different ways to help lower the chances of having a seizure. Your doctor will be able to advise you better on what treatment plan will suit you most appropriately.

Cerebral atrophy impairs the patient\'s coordination to the extent that he/she loses the touch to walk and speak, and the manual dexterity needed to carry out simple tasks. The condition is demonstrated when the brain cells are gradually losing their size. The medication prescriptions your mother is taking might only produce short-term benefits, you must carry out the consultations with the responsible neurologists who are in charge of her health.
