I have this weird sensation of water in my head and constant tightness, along with sensory OCD. I've tried every type of medication SSRIs, SNRIs, tricyclics, even antipsychotics but nothing has helped. Is there anything else I can try, like surgery or electric therapy? And is this condition even curable?

Water sensation and OCD with med failure may benefit from advanced options like Deep Brain Stimulation or rTMS—consult neurologist or neuropsychiatrist.

I've had a seizure in December and another one just recently, both times while I was sleeping around 5:15 in the morning. I had an MRI and it came back fine, but my blood work showed elevated liver enzymes and a higher white blood cell count. Should I be worried about these results, and is there a chance they're related to the seizures? What should my next steps be?

I'm having this issue where every time I open my mouth, I feel this sharp pain on the side of my head. It just started a few days ago, and I usually study till 3 AM every night. Do you think my late nights could be causing this? The pain is right around the head, where the top of the ear is, but it's definitely the head and not the ear. Stretching my mouth or moving it in weird ways also triggers the pain. What could be causing this, and is there anything I should do about it?
The pain on the side of your head when opening your mouth could be related to several factors, including: *Possible Causes* 1. *Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ) Disorder*: The TMJ connects the jawbone to the skull. Late-night studying and irregular sleep patterns might have triggered TMJ strain, leading to pain on the side of your head. 2. *Tension and Stress*: Prolonged studying and lack of sleep can cause muscle tension, leading to pain in the head and neck region. 3. *Jaw Misalignment or Bruxism*: Grinding or clenching your teeth during sleep or due to stress might have caused jaw misalignment, leading to pain on the side of your head. *What to Do* 1. *Apply Heat or Cold Packs*: Apply a warm or cold compress to the affected area to relax the muscles and reduce pain. 2. *Practice Relaxation Techniques*: Engage in stress-reducing activities like meditation, deep breathing, or yoga to manage tension and stress. 3. *Improve Your Sleep Habits*: Establish a regular sleep schedule, avoiding late-night studying and ensuring 7-8 hours of sleep each night. 4. *Jaw Exercises*: Perform simple jaw exercises like opening your mouth wide, moving your jaw from side to side, and massaging your temples to relax the jaw muscles.
