I'm a 47-year-old woman and I've been experiencing some concerning symptoms lately. For about a week now, I've been feeling really weak and dealing with vertigo, especially when I'm sleeping and when I wake up in the morning. I just started taking vertinstar 16 two days ago. On top of that, my periods have been irregular. I'm really starting to worry about what's going on. Can you help me understand what might be causing these issues?

It sounds like you're experiencing symptoms of vertigo and weakness, which could be related to several factors, including hormonal changes given your irregular periods. Since youve started taking Vertinstar, it may help with the dizziness, but I recommend consulting with your doctor for a thorough evaluation, as these symptoms could indicate an underlying issue like dehydration, blood pressure fluctuations, or an inner ear problem.

Question

I sometimes feel a sort of vibration or like an electric shock sensation hitting my body. Could this be something serious?

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?

Question

I've been experiencing these sudden jerks in my head lately. At first, they were just on the left side and didn't happen that often, but now I'm feeling them on the right too. What could be causing this? Should I be concerned?
