I'm really struggling because I'm super sensitive to light and sound. I sometimes have to work night shifts, and the flashlights during those times just make my headaches way worse. It's becoming a daily thing now, and it's hard for me to focus on my work or even on stuff at home. Can you give me some advice on how to handle this?

View allI'm looking at my blood work results and I'm curious about my white blood cell count, which is 13.3, and my neutrophils are at 75.4 with lymphocytes at 17.8. I don't have any symptoms, but I've been taking Topamax for my headaches. Should I be worried about these numbers?

I've been dealing with persistent headaches for the past six years and whenever I have one, I usually take either Migranil or Topaz. The problem is that these medications don't seem to provide quick relief. I'm getting frustrated and worried. Could there be a reason why they're not working that well for me? Is there anything else I can try or do differently?
Consider the Following_ 1. _Consult a doctor_: Schedule an appointment with your primary care physician or a pulmonologist to reassess your condition. 2. _Chest X-ray_: Get a chest X-ray to rule out any underlying lung conditions, such as pneumonia or bronchitis. 3. _Blood tests_: Your doctor may order blood tests to check for infections, inflammation, or other underlying conditions. 4. _Allergy testing_: If your doctor suspects allergies, they may recommend allergy testing to identify potential triggers. _Medication Adjustments_ 1. _Tasq DX syrup_: This syrup contains ambroxol, which helps loosen mucus. However, since it didn't provide relief, your doctor may recommend alternative expectorants. 2. _Green linctus BM_: This syrup contains a combination of ingredients, including menthol, eucalyptus, and terpineol. If this syrup didn't provide relief, your doctor may suggest other cough suppressants or combination products. _New Treatment Options_ 1. _Cough suppressants_: Your doctor may prescribe cough suppressants like codeine or dextromethorphan to help relieve your dry cough. 2. _Inhalers_: If your doctor suspects asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), they may prescribe inhalers to help manage your symptoms. 3. _Antihistamines_: If allergies are suspected, your doctor may recommend antihistamines to help alleviate your symptoms.
