My 78-year-old mom had a brain hemorrhage on the left side from high BP and has been unconscious for 12 days on a ventilator. The doctors said surgery isn't an option due to her condition and only a miracle can wake her up. What else can be done to help her?

I've been feeling really dizzy for about two months now, and it makes keeping my balance while walking pretty tough. After the first week, things got a bit better, but I still went to see a neurospecialist who gave me some medication. The dizziness just doesn't seem to go away, and it can be different at different times, mostly when I move my head around in a rotational way. It's weird because it doesn't feel like the room is spinning, just my head feels off, and walking becomes difficult. Things seemed to calm down for a while, but it's been acting up again for the past 23 days. Now it gets worse when I move my head up or down. Do you have any idea what might be causing this and if there's a way to treat it?

Vertigo can be caused by various underlying conditions such as inner ear problems, vestibular migraines, or Meniere's disease. Since your symptoms have persisted despite medication, it is important to follow up with your neuro-specialist for further evaluation and management. In the meantime, you can try taking Betahistine. Betahistine is commonly used to reduce the frequency and severity of vertigo attacks. It is important to continue communicating with your neuro-specialist to determine the underlying cause of your vertigo and to adjust your treatment plan accordingly.

So, I've been having this thing happening where when I lie down and close my eyes, I start feeling this pulsating sensation and a little dizziness, like a tightness in the back of my head. It comes and goes, especially when I'm breathing in and out. It usually goes away after a bit, but I'm not sure what's triggering it. Sometimes I don't feel it at all, but other times it'll happen while I'm just sitting too. Also, I have an anxiety disorder, and my heart rate usually stays between 80 to 90 bpm. Does this sound like something I should be worried about, or is it more linked to my anxiety?

My wife's been having these really bad migraine attacks that come with insane headaches, vomiting, and dizziness. They just seem to hit out of nowhere. I'm wondering what kind of home remedies could help her out, and what sort of professional consultation we should look into. Any guidance would be really appreciated.
