I got hit pretty hard on the left side of my head, right by my ear, and I've had a lot of pain. It even started bleeding, and it's still going on. The pain's not as bad now, but I'm feeling really dizzy when I'm just doing normal stuff. Is this something I should be really worried about? What should I do next?

The severe pain, bleeding, and dizziness after a heavy slap on the head near the ear suggest a possible temporal bone fracture, middle ear injury, or inner ear damage; the persistent bleeding from the ear is a concerning symptom that requires immediate medical attention; seek emergency care from an ENT specialist or a neurosurgeon to evaluate and manage potential complications, such as a cerebral spinal fluid (CSF) leak, meningitis, or hearing loss.

Question

I'm really worried about my brother. He had his first seizure about 6 years ago and it turned out to be a small non-cancerous tumor in his brain. They operated on him back then and hes been on medication ever since. We were told the meds would stop any future seizures, but hes had three in the last year. The first two happened because he accidentally missed his meds, but the third one is a mystery because hes been following his medication routine perfectly. I'm trying to understand what else could be causing these seizures. Could you help me figure out all the possible reasons why this is happening?

Silent Stroke Facts

Strokes are one of the leading causes of disability and death worldwide. However, not all strokes present with dramatic symptoms such as loss of speech or paralysis.

These strokes often go undetected and untreated, which can lead to long-term consequences. In this article, we’ll explore the key facts about silent strokes, how they affect your health, and what you can do to reduce your risk.
