Can you let me know how many hours of sleep are recommended if I'm taking Montek LC? I usually get around 7 to 8 hours, but I'm still feeling drowsy. Is this normal or should I be concerned?

7-8 hrs of sleep is enough but the tablet usually makes you feel drowsy for upto 10 hrs.

I've been having this pain in the back of my throat for a while now, like 3 months, and even though Ive seen a few doctors, they didnt seem worried. But I finally saw a gastroenterologist who said I have reflux and also treated me for an intestine infection, which is better now. The chest pain's still there though, and he thought it might be osteochondritis but said it should go if the infection cleared up, which hasn't happened. Im mostly worried because I noticed really dark veins in my throat, and even after finishing a treatment for a throat infection a few days back, there's still some pain. Also, my ear started inflaming about 4 months ago, and while ibuprofen helped last month, it's bothering me again, especially at night. Could this all be connected somehow?
Its good that youve been working with doctors to address your symptoms, but since theyve persisted and seem to be affecting multiple areas, it would be helpful to follow up with specialists, like an ENT or a musculoskeletal specialist, to further evaluate your throat, chest, and ear symptoms. Its possible that the ear pain and throat discomfort are related to your GERD or a lingering infection, but a more thorough examination will help provide clarity.

I'm really struggling with my vertigo, specifically BPPV. I had an episode in the past and was on Vertin 16mg and Stugen for about 20 days, and it seemed like it went away completely. But then, after stopping the medication, it came back a week later. I've done all the tests, like CT scans and X-rays, and they're all normal. I'm worried because the vertigo just won't go away permanently. Could you suggest any way to get rid of this for good?
To achieve permanent relief from benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV), consider the following steps: 1) consult an ENT specialist or a vestibular rehabilitation therapist; 2) undergo the Epley maneuver or other canalith repositioning procedures (CRPs) to help relocate the otoliths in your inner ear; 3) perform vestibular rehabilitation exercises (e.g., Brandt-Daroff exercises) to improve balance and reduce vertigo symptoms; 4) consider lifestyle modifications, such as avoiding triggers (e.g., sleeping on your side), reducing salt intake, and increasing water consumption; and 5) if symptoms persist, discuss with your doctor the possibility of a vestibular suppressant medication, such as betahistine, to help manage symptoms.
