My brother has been taking Tegretol CR 200 and Frisium 10mg tablets for his fits since he was 5 years old, but now we can't find the Tegretol CR 200 in stores or online. What can we use as a substitute for it? We really can't afford for him to skip his medicine, so I'd really appreciate any advice.

I'm really worried because my mom started taking Martifur, just like her doctor said, but now she's experiencing a pretty bad burning sensation and her legs, along with the rest of her body, feel shaky and weak. Is this something we should be concerned about, or is it a normal side effect?

The severe burning sensation, shaky and weak legs, and body weakness your mother is experiencing while taking Martifur (a urinary tract antiseptic) are not typical side effects

I'm experiencing this odd sensation, like an earthquake, where it feels like my bed or something at the back of my head is moving back and forth when I'm trying to fall asleep. There's no nausea or headache, but I've been noticing this faint beep in my left ear for a while now. The sensation seems to worsen when I sleep for a longer time. I've been taking Vertin for 23 days, but it doesnt seem to be helping. Is this something I should be worried about? What steps should I take next?

it can be BPPV you can take ENT consultation for better understanding and treatment

I'm having a tough time with my anxiety disorder lately. Suddenly, I'm feeling this odd tingling in my hands, plus stomach pains, my elbows burning, back pain, and sometimes it's hard to catch my breath. I'm also sweating way more than I used to, especially in my hands, feet, and forehead. And when I'm lying down, I can feel this really strong pulse in my hands and at the bottom left of my feet. It's super weird because I've had a ton of tests like ECGs and stress tests, and they all showed up normal. I also have POTS and my heart feels like it's racing even if I'm just walking. And with Raynaud's syndrome, it used to just affect my hands but now it's all over my body, leaving these red patches and it feels like prickly burns. My gums have started bleeding too, and my wisdom tooth has been hurting like crazy, especially when I eat. The pain after stress is baffling, thoughit only lasts for a few hours. Could you help me figure out what might be going on and what I should do next?

It sounds like you are experiencing a variety of symptoms related to your anxiety disorder, POTS, and Raynaud's syndrome. The tingling in hands, stomach pains, burning sensation, elbow and back pains, shortness of breath, excessive sweating, strong pulse sensation in hands and feet, as well as the red patches and burning sensation all over your body are likely related to your underlying conditions. To help manage your symptoms, you can consider the following medications: - For anxiety and panic attacks, you can try taking **Clonazepam** 0.5mg twice daily as needed. - For stomach pains and burning sensation, you can take **Omeprazole** 20mg once daily before breakfast. - For pain relief in your elbows and back, you can take **Ibuprofen** 400mg every 6-8 hours as needed. - For excessive sweating, **Glycopyrrolate** 2mg once daily can be helpful. - For Raynaud's syndrome, **Nifedipine** 30mg extended-release once daily can help improve blood flow. - For dental pain from your wisdom tooth, you can take **Acetaminophen** 500mg every 6 hours as needed for pain relief. It's important to follow up with your healthcare provider regularly to monitor your conditions and adjust your treatment plan as needed.
