I've been having these weird episodes where I stand up and suddenly feel really dizzy and lightheaded. My vision goes a bit blurry, and I lose my balance to the point where I almost fall over. It's pretty scary. What could be causing this? Is it something I should be worried about?

View allI've been dealing with some serious low back pain for the past eight months, and I'm really getting concerned. I'm 24 years old, 6 feet tall, and weigh 80 kg, and I'm experiencing pain that radiates into my legs, thighs, hips, and even affects my walking and standing. I already tried lots of allopathy medications, but I still haven't found any relief. An X-ray scan showed that there's a diffuse bulge at disc L5S1. It even hurts when I cough or sneeze. Can you suggest something that might actually help?
For a diffuse bulge disc L5-S1, consider the following diagnostic steps and treatment options: Diagnostic Steps 1. MRI or CT scan: Confirm the diagnosis and assess the extent of the disc bulge. Treatment Options 1. Physical therapy: Strengthen back muscles, improve flexibility, and alleviate pain. 2. Pain management: Explore medication options, such as pain relievers, muscle relaxants, or oral steroids. 3. Epidural injections: Administer corticosteroids or pain relievers directly into the affected area. 4. Chiropractic care: Spinal manipulation and adjustments to relieve pressure on the affected disc. 5. Surgery: Consider discectomy, microdiscectomy, or spinal fusion surgery if conservative treatments fail.Lifestyle Modifications 1. Maintain a healthy weight: Reduce pressure on the spine. 2. Exercise regularly: Engage in low-impact exercises, such as yoga, swimming, or cycling. 3. Improve posture: Practice good posture to reduce strain on the back. 4. Lift properly: Use proper lifting techniques to avoid putting unnecessary strain on the back.

I've been dealing with dizziness for a while now, like it started some years ago and it's happening again. I'm really worried about why this dizziness keeps coming back. Do you think it could be something serious? What should I do to figure out what's going on?
Recurring dizziness may indicate an underlying condition, such as inner ear problems (e.g., benign paroxysmal positional vertigo), migraines, or vestibular issues; consider consulting an ear, nose, and throat (ENT) specialist or a neurologist to rule out any underlying conditions and develop a treatment plan to manage your symptoms.
