Why do I have head tightness, leg weakness, dizziness?

Tightness like band in back of head, weakness in legs, gastric and slight dizziness

1 Answer

Answered on 4th Mar '25

Experiencing pressure in the back of your head, combined with leg weakness and mild dizziness, can be concerning but may stem from various causes such as tension, poor posture, or stress. These symptoms can also result from dehydration or fatigue. It's essential to stay hydrated and consider gentle stretching or relaxation techniques to alleviate tension. However, since symptoms like these can occasionally indicate more serious issues, I recommend visiting a neurologist for a thorough assessment. They can provide personalized advice and ensure your well-being.

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.

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.

‏Hello doctor، I got an illness 12 months ago because of a pain in my neck، then my hands stopped moving and then I couldn't walk، then I lost my breathing، I was on a ventilator for 3 months، after 2 months I got better، my legs started moving but I took a pill and my legs it was disabled ، my arm is bent and now I'm fine at home but my legs don't work، I can't walk. I'm in Kurdistan and the doctors are hesitant. I have a disease that many people say is Gillian Barry syndrome or Myelitis, should I come out of the country or Europe, it's good for me?, thank you.

The signs of your disease, such as immobility and the respiratory issues, imply the development of an autoimmune condition such as Guillain-Barre or myelitis. It's necessary to visit a specialist and get suitable drugs. If the domestic health institutions do not want to take that risk, you may go for care abroad where you can find special rehabilitation centers. Make sure to seek advice and assistance from the doctors who treat you as well as get any therapy you need.

I am suffering the following: - Post Polio Residual Paralysis cerebral vascular accident Is it coming under Multiple disability or Locomotor Disability

Male | 64

Your conditions, Polio Residual Paralysis and cerebral vascular accident (stroke) would generally be categorized as "Multiple Disabilities" rather than "Locomotor Disability." Multiple Disabilities involve coexisting impairments in different body systems, while Locomotor Disability typically refers to issues related to mobility. It's important to consult a medical professional for accurate classification.

Ive been facing tingling in hands and feet also having digestive issues since 1 week, had mild headache also. And now when I fall asleep, my whole body keeps shaking, gets normal, when I move little. Yesterday got my blood reports. I have 197 VIT B12 on ref level of 211-950(acc to lab). Therfore a deficiency. Also vast deficiency in VIT D. Is it all happening because of these deficiencies? Or any other reason?

Female | 19

Your symptoms sugge­st vitamin deficiencies. Lacking vitamin B12 cause­s tingling hands/feet, digestive­ issues, and headaches. De­ficient vitamin D prompts shaky sleep se­nsations. These deficie­ncies likely cause your symptoms. To fix this, e­at vitamin B12 and D-rich foods. Your doctor may also suggest supplements to re­store levels.
