View allI've been feeling really dizzy and heavy-headed for the past few months and it's really starting to worry me. I visited a neurologist and he said it's Migraine associated Vertigo. He suggested I take Amitone 25 and Stalopam, but after trying them for two weeks, they didn't help much. A friend recommended Vertin 25 and Stemitil, which worked for a bit, but the vertigo attacks have started again. I've noticed that these attacks seem to happen more in AC environments like in a car or at the office. I feel a bit better at home or outside. My ears feel blocked and my head feels heavy for over 24 hours. Sleeping seems to help, but the feeling comes back as soon as I'm up. Sometimes it feels like I might pass out. I've already been to four different doctors, did a CT scan, neck X-ray, and MRV scans, but nothing showed up. Do you have any idea what could be going on or any suggestions?
It sounds like you are experiencing persistent vertigo attacks despite trying different medications. Based on your symptoms and the pattern of your attacks, it may be worth considering a diagnosis of Meniere's disease, which is a disorder of the inner ear that can cause vertigo, ear fullness, and hearing loss. In such cases, a combination of Betahistine (Vertin) and Prochlorperazine (Stemetil) can be effective in managing symptoms. Additionally, you can try using a nasal spray decongestant to help with your blocked ears, such as Oxymetazoline. It is important to avoid triggers like cold temperatures and air conditioning, as they can exacerbate symptoms. If your symptoms persist or worsen, it may be helpful to consult with an Ear, Nose, and Throat (ENT) specialist for further evaluation and management.

I'm really struggling with migraine headaches that I've been dealing with for over 15 years now. I usually take Naprosen when the pain becomes unbearable, but I used to take Rizact before. I haven't been able to figure out what's triggering them since no specific food seems to be causing it. I do notice that lack of sleep or disturbed sleep sometimes leads to a headache. What can I do to avoid these headaches or stop them right when they start?
because of stress& lack of sleep

I've been dealing with a bulging disc at L4 L5 S1 on my right side, and I used to get this electric shock-like pain down my right leg when sleeping, walking, or sneezing. But now the pain has switched to my left leg in the same area, and the worst part is I'm getting that shooting current-like pain in my left front thigh joint when walking. Is there any way this can heal completely without needing surgery?
Your symptoms suggest bilateral nerve involvement. Non-surgical options like physiotherapy, posture correction, and medications can help, but MRI and expert evaluation are essential.
