I'm really worried about my father-in-law. He just had bypass surgery and a valve change, and things seemed okay when he was discharged. But then, just three days later, he had a brain hemorrhage and went into a coma. We moved him to another hospital and the doctor there is asking for blood plasma. The thing is, they're not really giving us any clear answers about when he might recover or how he's doing overall. Can you give us any advice or insight on this situation? We're feeling really lost right now.

Given the complexity of your father-in-law's condition, consider seeking a second opinion from a neurosurgeon or a critical care specialist to better understand his prognosis and treatment options, and ask the current doctor about the specific reasons for requesting bloodplasma, as well as the expected benefits and potential risks of this treatment approach.

Question

I'm a bit worried because one of the doctors suggested a DC procedure. Could you walk me through what that involves and what side effects I might face in the future? I'd really appreciate any advice or insights you could give me.

Question

I've had this constant heaviness in my head since July 2013 and it's really affecting my balance when I'm walking or standing. It feels like there's pressure moving around in my head all the time. When it first started, I was feeling dizzy constantly and I couldn't hear properly for like ten days. This all happened after I experienced some dizziness and I was on Mala D pills for about seven to eight months because of my PCOD. Back then, I even felt balance problems while standing during my PCOD treatment. I've tried anxiety meds but they didn't help for long. I'm not sure what's going on but I've been on different medications since, and nothing has worked. Right now, there's constant pressure around my head, I'm always tired and dizzy, and my energy is super low. I can't stand still without feeling this heaviness moving around. It's so frustrating and I can't really describe how weird it makes me feel. Plus, I don't get my periods without medicine... because of PCOD. Could you please help me figure out what's happening?

Question

I've been getting these bad headaches every time I take a head bath, and it doesn't matter if the water's hot or cold. Sometimes the pain's so intense that I even feel like throwing up. What could be causing this, and should I be worried?
