I'm getting a sharp pain on the right side of my head when I masturbate. It's really uncomfortable and I'm not sure what's going on. Do you have any advice on how I can make this go away or prevent it from happening again?

I've been noticing that I only feel dizzy when I sneeze, and it's something that's happened several times in the past. But today, it got really bothersome because after a sneeze, I actually lost my balance and fell down. Is there any medicine or solution that could help with this?

This sounds like a case of vasovagal syncope, where sneezing triggers a sudden drop in heart rate and blood pressure, leading to dizziness and fainting. Medication such as Fludrocortisone can help increase blood volume and reduce the likelihood of fainting episodes triggered by sneezing. However, it is important to consult with a healthcare professional before starting any new medication.

Can I take melatonin to help me sleep if I'm already prescribed a 25 mg amitriptyline pill daily to reduce my headache frequency? I'm just worried if there's any interaction or issues mixing the two.

Melatonin and amitryptiline has a potential for interaction so it should be used very carefully as they both increase sedation and drowsiness. The medications should not be had unless directed by your treating doctor. If you develop any problem visit the ER at the earliest.

I've had a fracture in my right hand, and as a result, my radial nerve got damaged. Now my wrist has dropped, and I can't lift my fingers anymore. I'm currently going through physiotherapy, but I'm not seeing much improvement. What could be going wrong, and is there anything else I should be doing to help with the recovery?

I'm sorry to hear about the difficulty you're experiencing with your radial nerve injury. It's common to see slow progress with nerve recovery, but consistency with physiotherapy is key. If you're not noticing significant improvement, it might be helpful to reassess your treatment plan with your healthcare provider to explore additional options.

Conversion Disorder in Adults

Conversion disorder, also known as Functional Neurological Disorder (FND), is a complex mental health condition characterized by neurological symptoms that medical or neurological conditions cannot explain. These symptoms can include paralysis, tremors, or non-epileptic seizures, and they often arise in response to psychological stress or trauma. Unlike other neurological disorders, conversion disorder does not have a clear organic cause, making it a unique intersection between mental and physical health.
