I've been dealing with ocular myasthenia gravis since November 2016. I had a blood report and a CT scan in 2017, which were normal, but then another CT scan in 2018 showed some infection. A chest specialist suggested doing a FOB, and when I asked about how my ocular myasthenia could affect the FOB check-up, the doctor mentioned there's no connection. When I asked about possible infection in the thymus gland according to the CT scan, the doctor said there wasn't one. They mentioned these infections could be pneumonia and might be linked to the prednisolone tablets I'm taking, but these infections weren't there before. Can you guide me on if this is the right approach? An ophthalmologist gave me a Botox injection in my right upper eyelid in January 2017 without doing the ice pack test, Musk test, or diagnosing myasthenia gravis. What role does an FOB play in handling ocular myasthenia gravis?

I've consumed 10 ml of povidone iodine germicide gargle, once in the morning and once again in the afternoon, and I am already on other medications like an antibiotic while having gastritis. I'm getting worried here. Could this have any impact on my health?

Question

Why am I feeling lightheaded and dizzy almost every day? It feels like it's happening all the time and I'm starting to get worried. Is there something I should be looking out for or doing differently?

Question

Can being out in the sun cause dizziness, headaches, and make you sleepy? I've been feeling really dizzy in the afternoon and evening, and I've noticed my blood pressure drops to 9060. Should I be worried about this?

Conversion Disorder in Adults

Conversion disorder, also known as Functional Neurological Disorder (FND), is a complex mental health condition characterized by neurological symptoms that medical or neurological conditions cannot explain. These symptoms can include paralysis, tremors, or non-epileptic seizures, and they often arise in response to psychological stress or trauma. Unlike other neurological disorders, conversion disorder does not have a clear organic cause, making it a unique intersection between mental and physical health.
