I've been dealing with ocular myasthenia gravis since November 2016. I had a blood report and a CT scan in 2017, which were normal, but then another CT scan in 2018 showed some infection. A chest specialist suggested doing a FOB, and when I asked about how my ocular myasthenia could affect the FOB check-up, the doctor mentioned there's no connection. When I asked about possible infection in the thymus gland according to the CT scan, the doctor said there wasn't one. They mentioned these infections could be pneumonia and might be linked to the prednisolone tablets I'm taking, but these infections weren't there before. Can you guide me on if this is the right approach? An ophthalmologist gave me a Botox injection in my right upper eyelid in January 2017 without doing the ice pack test, Musk test, or diagnosing myasthenia gravis. What role does an FOB play in handling ocular myasthenia gravis?

View allFor almost two weeks now, I've been having trouble with my balance. It's making it hard for me to work. Whenever I move, I feel like my head gets heavy or light, and sometimes it's even like everything's spinning. Walking is really tough because I can't stay steady. I went to see an ENT doctor and took the medication they gave me for five days, but nothing's changed. How long does it usually take for these symptoms to go away, or do you think it could be something more than an ENT issue? I'm worried because this is affecting my job too. What should I do next?
That needs evaluation like ct brain and sr electrolytes,visit neuro physician for the same and appropriate management

I'm really concerned about a pulsating sensation I've been feeling above my temple, which seems to extend towards my ear. It's become quite severe at times and feels like a sharp, injecting pain. This has been happening on and off for a few months now, and I'm genuinely worried that this might mean my blood vessels could burst. I've also got some stress, wisdom teeth pain, and ear blockage on the same side. Everything seems to be happening on the right side of my head, and it's making me really anxious. Is this something serious that I should be worried about?
yes

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,
