I'm experiencing a kind of heaviness in my head, especially behind it, and sometimes my ear feels blocked when I wake up. It usually goes back to normal after a little while, but I'm curious if this is something I should be worried about. What could be causing this?

I'm experiencing dizziness for the past 4 weeks. My ENT doctor prescribed STABLANZ PV and VERTIGON tablets, which help a lot when I take them. But when I stop, the dizziness and spinning in my head come right back. Does this sound like vertigo to you, or could it be something else? Also, any advice on how to get rid of this dizziness, or if there's anyone else I should consult?

I'm really worried about my dad. He had a paralysis attack three years ago, and it's been tough since then. He's got 34 tiny blood clots in his brain, kidney issues, and arthritis. We've seen so many doctors and even had to put him on a ventilator twice. He's mostly bedridden now, and it seems like the paralysis has affected his tongue and mouth too. Sometimes he can open his mouth for food, and other times we have to do it for him. We've been to different hospitals, but we're still struggling to find a solution. Do you know what else we could try or maybe recommend hospitals with blood clot removing tech? Any advice would be really appreciated.
