I'm feeling some tightness in a portion of my head, just above my left ear, and it's been going on for about a year now. When I massage that area, it seems to relax. I'm a bit concerned and wondering what might be causing this. Could it be something I should look into further?

The tightness you're feeling above your left ear could be related to muscle tension, stress, or even a tension headache, especially since massaging the area provides relief. However, if the sensation persists or worsens, or if other concerning symptoms arise, its a good idea to consult with a healthcare provider for a proper diagnosis and tailored treatment.

I'm feeling some strange movements just below my eye, under the skin, and I'm concerned because I've been using guasha. I might have pressed too hard when I was massaging, and now I'm worried I might have damaged the tissue there. Theres no redness or puffiness, and it looks normal, but it does make me uncomfortable sometimes. Is there any medicine or treatment that might help with this?

What's vestibular migraine exactly? I've been experiencing some weird symptoms like being really sensitive to sounds, feeling nauseous, and sometimes I get this sudden dizzy feeling that makes it hard to walk for more than 10 minutes. And then there's this numb sensation in my feet that comes with the giddiness. Should I be worried about these symptoms, and are there precautions I can take?

To stop taking the Fexofenadine + Montelukast combination tablet: *Gradual Tapering* 1. Consult a new doctor or an allergist for personalized guidance. 2. Gradually reduce the dosage over 1-2 weeks to minimize withdrawal symptoms. 3. Start by reducing the frequency (e.g., every other night) or the dosage (e.g., half the tablet). *Managing Withdrawal Symptoms* 1. For itching, try applying topical creams or taking oral antihistamines like diphenhydramine. 2. If symptoms persist or worsen, consult your doctor for alternative solutions. *Follow-up* 1. Schedule a follow-up appointment with your new doctor to monitor your condition. 2. Discuss any concerns or changes in your symptoms.
