I'm really worried because he's been dealing with this for about 20 years now. Sometimes it's manageable, but then it just flares up again. Stugeron used to help keep things under control, but over the past month, he's been taking it three times a day along with 12 tablets of Dytol 5mg daily. He's also been using Stemetil, but this time it seems like nothing's working. We're at a bit of a loss here. Do you have any advice on what we should do next? Can we possibly arrange a visit to discuss this further?

Missed Period, Invalid Pregnancy Test, and Physical Symptoms: Next Steps
Given your symptoms and missed period, it's essential to determine the cause. Here's a step-by-step approach:
Possible Causes
- Pregnancy: Missed period, breast tenderness, and cold sore could be indicative of pregnancy.
- Hormonal Imbalance: Hormonal fluctuations can cause breast tenderness, cold sores, and irregular periods.
- Stress or Fatigue: Stress and fatigue can disrupt menstrual cycles and cause physical symptoms.
Next Steps
- Repeat Pregnancy Test: Try another pregnancy test, preferably a digital one, in the morning when hCG levels are highest. If the result is still invalid or negative, proceed to the next step.
- Consult a Gynecologist: Schedule an appointment with a gynecologist to discuss your symptoms and determine the cause of your missed period. They may recommend:
- A blood test to check hCG levels and confirm pregnancy.
- A pelvic exam to check for any underlying conditions.
- Ultrasound or other imaging tests to rule out other causes.
- Address Physical Symptoms: In the meantime, consider taking over-the-counter pain relievers like acetaminophen or ibuprofen to alleviate breast tenderness and cold sore discomfort.
Important Notes
- Don't panic: A missed period and invalid pregnancy test don't necessarily mean you're not pregnant. It's essential to consult a gynecologist for a proper evaluation.
- Maintain a healthy lifestyle: Continue to follow a balanced diet, stay hydrated, and engage in regular exercise to support your overall health.
Please consult a gynecologist for personalized guidance and care.

View allI've been having these vertigo episodes over the last six months, and despite seeing an ENT and getting all sorts of tests like VNG and audiometry, everything came back normal. The ENT even said it might not be vertigo and suggested I see a neurologist. I had an MRI done, but that was fine too. I've been on stuzeran 25 and renerve plus for about four months, and while there's a bit of improvement in my dizziness and motion sickness, it's nothing significant. Lately, I've started getting headaches after sitting in front of the computer for a long time, about 2-3 hours. I even saw an ophthalmologist, but my eyes are perfectly fine. With all these doctor visits, nobody's been able to pinpoint what's actually causing my problems. Any idea what's going on or what could be the reason for these headaches?
in conclusion, while many tests have come back normal, its still possible that issues like posture, stress, or medication side effects could be contributing to your ongoing symptoms. Its important to maintain open communication with your healthcare providers, and exploring physical therapy for your neck and posture might be a useful next step.

I'm really worried about my situation. I've been having these really severe headaches lately and on top of that, I'm dealing with a lot of stress. It's like a vicious cycle because the stress just seems to make the headaches worse. What could be causing this, and what can I do to get some relief? It's becoming really hard to manage daily tasks.
It sounds like he's experiencing a tension headache, likely triggered by stress, which is exacerbating his existing migraine condition (siviour headache); recommend relaxation techniques like deep breathing, meditation, or yoga to help manage stress,
