I'm really worried about my mom. She's got sciatica, and the pain was just unbearable this morning, so she went to see a doctor. He gave her Pregabalin and Mecobalamin capsules to take. I totally get that the doctor knows his stuff, but I'm just a bit concerned since she also has high blood pressure. Are these capsules safe for her to take? I'd really appreciate any advice or reassurance.

I'm experiencing numbness during the night in my pinky and ring finger on my left hand. It's been happening for the last couple of months, almost 5 to 6 times a week, and I'm not sure if it's due to the way I'm sleeping or another health issue. Any idea what might be going on?

The red dots on your penis head could be caused by various factors, such as: Fordyce spots (benign, small bumps) Pearly penile papules (small, harmless growths) Folliculitis (inflammation of hair follicles) Since you're experiencing minimal itching, it's likely not a serious condition. Consult a dermatologist or a urologist for a proper examination and diagnosis. Avoid scratching or popping the bumps, as this can lead to infection or scarring.

I recently had a seizure and even though my ECG came back normal, the doctor now wants me to get a 2D echo. Its quite expensive, so I'm wondering if it's really necessary. Can you help me understand why this test might be needed?

I've been experiencing some real issues after I masturbate. First, I get really dizzy and then it turns into vertigo. It's pretty intense. After a bit, it leads to vomiting and I also have to deal with highly pressurized stool. The vertigo just doesn't quit and can last up to 8 hours. I'm kind of at a loss here and Im wondering who I should talk to about this. Any ideas on whats going on or whom I should consult?

The symptoms you're experiencing after masturbation, such as dizziness, vertigo, vomiting, and stool, are not typical and may indicate an underlying condition. *Possible Causes* 1. *Vasovagal Syncope*: A reflex that causes a sudden drop in blood pressure, leading to dizziness and fainting. 2. *Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS)*: A condition characterized by a rapid heart rate and other symptoms that occur upon standing. 3. *Migraine or Vestibular Migraine*: A type of migraine that affects the vestibular system, causing vertigo and other symptoms. 4. *Gastrointestinal Issues*: Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), or other gastrointestinal conditions may be contributing to your symptoms. *What to Do* 1. *Consult a Primary Care Physician*: Schedule an appointment with your primary care physician to discuss your symptoms and determine the underlying cause. 2. *Keep a Symptom Journal*: Record your symptoms, including when they occur, how long they last, and any potential triggers. 3. *Avoid Triggers*: If you suspect that masturbation is triggering your symptoms, consider avoiding or reducing the frequency of this activity until you consult a doctor. *Specialists to Consider* 1. *Cardiologist*: If your doctor suspects a heart-related condition, such as POTS or vasovagal syncope. 2. *Neurologist*: If your doctor suspects a neurological condition, such as a migraine or vestibular disorder. 3. *Gastroenterologist*: If your doctor suspects a gastrointestinal condition, such as GERD or IBS.
