My dad has been in a coma for 50 days after brain hemorrhage surgery and keeps coughing a lot. The nurses are giving him duolin LD nebulization twice a day and doing suctioning, but the coughing won't stop. Should we keep giving him the duolin LD or is there something else we can try?

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've been dealing with essential tremor and anxiety for the last 2 years along with constant head shaking. The medications I'm taking don't seem to help at all. Are there any short-term treatments or surgical options available for this condition and what would the approximate cost be

For persistent, medication-resistant essential tremor with head shaking and anxiety, consider short-term treatments like botulinum toxin injections or anxiety-reducing medications like benzodiazepines. Surgical options include deep brain stimulation (DBS) and focused ultrasound thalamotomy. The cost of these treatments varies widely, but DBS is generally in the range of $50,000 to $150,000.
