I've been feeling really dizzy and heavy-headed for the past few months and it's really starting to worry me. I visited a neurologist and he said it's Migraine associated Vertigo. He suggested I take Amitone 25 and Stalopam, but after trying them for two weeks, they didn't help much. A friend recommended Vertin 25 and Stemitil, which worked for a bit, but the vertigo attacks have started again. I've noticed that these attacks seem to happen more in AC environments like in a car or at the office. I feel a bit better at home or outside. My ears feel blocked and my head feels heavy for over 24 hours. Sleeping seems to help, but the feeling comes back as soon as I'm up. Sometimes it feels like I might pass out. I've already been to four different doctors, did a CT scan, neck X-ray, and MRV scans, but nothing showed up. Do you have any idea what could be going on or any suggestions?

It sounds like you are experiencing persistent vertigo attacks despite trying different medications. Based on your symptoms and the pattern of your attacks, it may be worth considering a diagnosis of Meniere's disease, which is a disorder of the inner ear that can cause vertigo, ear fullness, and hearing loss. In such cases, a combination of Betahistine (Vertin) and Prochlorperazine (Stemetil) can be effective in managing symptoms. Additionally, you can try using a nasal spray decongestant to help with your blocked ears, such as Oxymetazoline. It is important to avoid triggers like cold temperatures and air conditioning, as they can exacerbate symptoms. If your symptoms persist or worsen, it may be helpful to consult with an Ear, Nose, and Throat (ENT) specialist for further evaluation and management.

Query: I've been dealing with this nerve-pulling sensation in my legs, mainly my right thigh, and hip pain for over a year now. I've been taking Gabapin NT since it started and mixed it with a couple of other medications like Rejunex OD, Homin, and Pregabalin with Mecobalamin at different times. Recently, I've been also using Shelcal and Zincovit. I'm curious if there might be something else I can do about this or if there's a reason why it's not getting any better with the current treatment. What do you think?
Sudden Lower Back Pain: Emergency Guidance_ Given the sudden onset of severe lower back pain, radiating to your legs, and difficulty moving, it's essential to prioritize your health. Since it's been 2 hours, please consider the following steps: *Immediate Action* 1. *Call emergency services or seek immediate medical attention*: Visit the emergency room or urgent care if you haven't already. 2. *Rest and immobilize*: Avoid moving or bending, as this can exacerbate the injury. 3. *Apply ice (optional)*: If you're unable to seek medical attention immediately, apply ice to the affected area for 15-20 minutes to help reduce pain and inflammation. *Potential Causes* 1. *Herniated disk*: Sudden bending or lifting can cause a disk herniation, leading to pain and numbness in the legs. 2. *Muscle strain*: Overstretching or tearing of muscles in the lower back can cause severe pain and limited mobility. 3. *Other possible causes*: Kidney stones, spinal stenosis, or other underlying conditions may also contribute to your symptoms. *Medical Attention* A medical professional will assess your condition and provide a proper diagnosis and treatment plan. Be prepared to provide detailed information about your symptoms, medical history, and any previous injuries or conditions.

I'm really struggling with cervical spondylosis and loss of cervical lordosis. My MRI report indicates some serious stuff like a C5-C6 disc with an annular fissure and diffuse posterior bulge, and it's even got central herniation pressing on my spinal cord and affecting both neural foramina. There's this hyperintense signal on the left side of my spinal cord suggesting myomalacia. Also, the C6-C7 disc has its own issues with another fissure and bulge, plus a right paracentral herniation affecting my spinal cord and right C7 nerve, again encroaching on both neural foramina. With all this, I get this annoying tingling in my legs and nerve pain in one of my right-hand fingers. Sitting for long periods just makes my entire spine hurt. I'm curious if there's any Ayurvedic treatment out there that could completely cure this. Also, would I be able to handle any job with my condition? I've tried physiotherapy treatments like IFT, ultra cervical traction, and steam for months, which seemed to help for a while. But the pain is back. Should I keep doing the same physiotherapy again, or is there anything else you'd recommend?
