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.

I'm experiencing some numbness in my hands that's been going on for the past 2 to 3 months. It seems to happen when I'm doing my regular activities like lifting a bag or sometimes even when I wake up from sleep. I never had this issue before, and it's starting to concern me. What could be causing this, and should I be worried?

Im dealing with this heaviness and mild pain on my left side that seems to radiate towards my back. Occasionally, I also find it hard to catch my breath, and it feels like there's a lack of blood supply. Could this be linked to my neurological issues, given that I have cervical spondylosis? Ive attached a chest X-ray could you check if everythings okay with my lungs?

I'm really worried about my father-in-law. He just had bypass surgery and a valve change, and things seemed okay when he was discharged. But then, just three days later, he had a brain hemorrhage and went into a coma. We moved him to another hospital and the doctor there is asking for blood plasma. The thing is, they're not really giving us any clear answers about when he might recover or how he's doing overall. Can you give us any advice or insight on this situation? We're feeling really lost right now.

Given the complexity of your father-in-law's condition, consider seeking a second opinion from a neurosurgeon or a critical care specialist to better understand his prognosis and treatment options, and ask the current doctor about the specific reasons for requesting bloodplasma, as well as the expected benefits and potential risks of this treatment approach.
