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've been feeling unsteady while walking for the past 3 years, so I got a CT scan that showed dehiscence of the lateral semicircular canal. I had ear surgery, but the surgeon said there was no dehiscence only an infection, which they cleared during the procedure. My unsteadiness hasn't improved, and I'm really confused was the CT scan wrong or did the surgeon miss something? Who should I see next to figure this out? It's been so long without any answers, and I'm really worried this might be something serious with no solution

do all requred lab report first to understand risk and progress.

I've been feeling this heaviness in my right cheek and I'm not sure why. I also have neck pain and sometimes a bit of pain in my head. It's making me feel really anxious. I occasionally get this weird sensation on my lips where it feels like palpitations, usually once or twice a month. I'm confused about which type of doctor I should reach out to. Any ideas on what could be going on?

Possible Causes_ 1. _Overstimulation_: Continuous masturbation for 3 days can cause overstimulation, leading to dull and occasional pain. 2. _Friction and irritation_: Excessive friction during masturbation can cause irritation, especially if proper lubrication is not used. 3. _Inflammation_: Inflammation of the penis, testicles, or surrounding areas can cause pain. _Instant Remedies_ 1. _Abstinence_: Avoid masturbation for a few days to allow your body to recover. 2. _Cold compress_: Apply a cold compress to the affected area to reduce pain and inflammation. 3. _Warm bath_: Soak in a warm bath to relax the muscles and reduce discomfort. 4. _Proper lubrication_: Use proper lubrication during masturbation to reduce friction and irritation. 5. _Over-the-counter pain relievers_: Consider taking over-the-counter pain relievers like acetaminophen or ibuprofen to alleviate pain. _Preventative Measures_ 1. _Practice moderation_: Avoid excessive masturbation to prevent overstimulation and irritation. 2. _Use proper lubrication_: Always use proper lubrication during masturbation to reduce friction and irritation. 3. _Maintain good hygiene_: Keep the genital area clean and dry to prevent bacterial or fungal infections.

I've been taking Neurobion Forte injections every week, but today I accidentally took the tablet form instead. Should I be worried about this mix-up? Is there anything specific I should watch out for or do differently now?
