I'm really worried about my mom. She was having viral and we were giving her paracetamol like the doctor said, but her fever went up to 103 on the third night. We talked to the doctor, and he told us to give her Meftal 250 mg. The next morning, she had excessive gas and stomach pain, and then she fainted and had a seizure for 35 seconds, which has never happened before. The doctor thinks it might be a reaction to the Meftal or maybe because she was dehydrated. She's doing better now, but should I be really concerned about this?

The seizure-like episode your mother experienced, likely due to a reaction to Meftal (Mefenamic acid) and dehydration, is a serious concern, as it may indicate a predisposition to seizures or a neurological issue; schedule a follow-up appointment with your doctor to discuss the incident, and consider consulting a neurologist for further evaluation and guidance to prevent future episodes.

View allI'm a 47-year-old woman and I've been experiencing some concerning symptoms lately. For about a week now, I've been feeling really weak and dealing with vertigo, especially when I'm sleeping and when I wake up in the morning. I just started taking vertinstar 16 two days ago. On top of that, my periods have been irregular. I'm really starting to worry about what's going on. Can you help me understand what might be causing these issues?
It sounds like you're experiencing symptoms of vertigo and weakness, which could be related to several factors, including hormonal changes given your irregular periods. Since youve started taking Vertinstar, it may help with the dizziness, but I recommend consulting with your doctor for a thorough evaluation, as these symptoms could indicate an underlying issue like dehydration, blood pressure fluctuations, or an inner ear problem.

I've been dealing with this constant headache that kicks in every evening. It doesn't just stay in one place; the pain kind of migrates from my head to my neck and shoulders.
