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.

View allI'm really concerned because my mom keeps having this burning sensation all over her body. I'm trying to figure out what might be causing it. Could you suggest some effective medicine or treatment options that might help her?
burning sensation throughout the body can be unsettling. There are several possible explanations, and I'll outline some potential causes and suggestions: *Possible Causes* 1. *Nerve damage or neuropathy*: Damage to nerves can cause burning sensations. 2. *Vitamin deficiencies*: Deficiencies in vitamins like B12, B6, or B1 can lead to burning sensations. 3. *Diabetes*: High blood sugar levels can cause nerve damage, leading to burning sensations. 4. *Thyroid disorders*: Both hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism can cause burning sensations. 5. *Menopause*: Hormonal changes during menopause can lead to burning sensations. 6. *Medication side effects*: Certain medications, such as antibiotics or anticonvulsants, can cause burning sensations. 7. *Infections*: Certain infections, like shingles or multiple sclerosis, can cause burning sensations. *Medications and Remedies* Please consult your doctor before taking any medications. They will help determine the underlying cause and recommend the best course of treatment. 1. *Vitamin supplements*: Ensure your mother is getting adequate vitamins, especially B12, B6, and B1. 2. *Pain relievers*: Over-the-counter pain medications like acetaminophen (Tylenol) or ibuprofen (Advil) may help alleviate burning sensations. 3. *Topical creams*: Creams containing capsaicin or lidocaine may help reduce burning sensations. 4. *Anticonvulsants*: In some cases, anticonvulsant medications like gabapentin or pregabalin may be prescribed to help manage burning sensations.

I'm really worried about my mom. She was having viral and we were giving her paracetamol like the doctor said, but her fever went up to 103 on the third night. We talked to the doctor, and he told us to give her Meftal 250 mg. The next morning, she had excessive gas and stomach pain, and then she fainted and had a seizure for 35 seconds, which has never happened before. The doctor thinks it might be a reaction to the Meftal or maybe because she was dehydrated. She's doing better now, but should I be really concerned about this?
The seizure-like episode your mother experienced, likely due to a reaction to Meftal (Mefenamic acid) and dehydration, is a serious concern, as it may indicate a predisposition to seizures or a neurological issue; schedule a follow-up appointment with your doctor to discuss the incident, and consider consulting a neurologist for further evaluation and guidance to prevent future episodes.
