My dad has had muscle wastage in his shoulders for the last 25-30 years, and now it's starting in his legs. He had cervical surgery for C5-C6 in 2001 because of tingling, but one doctor thinks it might be MND. We're really unsure could this be MND or something else?

View allI've been dealing with this persistent headache at the top of my head and forehead. When I watch TV, the pain just sticks around, right on the top of my head and in my eyes, which feel heavy. I've tried taking lots of painkillers, but nothing seems to help. I'm also feeling really tired. I'm worried and curious about what might be going on. Could it be something serious? What should I do to feel better?

I've had this constant heaviness in my head since July 2013 and it's really affecting my balance when I'm walking or standing. It feels like there's pressure moving around in my head all the time. When it first started, I was feeling dizzy constantly and I couldn't hear properly for like ten days. This all happened after I experienced some dizziness and I was on Mala D pills for about seven to eight months because of my PCOD. Back then, I even felt balance problems while standing during my PCOD treatment. I've tried anxiety meds but they didn't help for long. I'm not sure what's going on but I've been on different medications since, and nothing has worked. Right now, there's constant pressure around my head, I'm always tired and dizzy, and my energy is super low. I can't stand still without feeling this heaviness moving around. It's so frustrating and I can't really describe how weird it makes me feel. Plus, I don't get my periods without medicine... because of PCOD. Could you please help me figure out what's happening?
It sounds like you may be experiencing symptoms related to vestibular migraine, which can cause a variety of symptoms including dizziness, imbalance, and pressure in the head. The history of giddiness, balance problems, and ongoing symptoms like tiredness, dizziness, and low energy are suggestive of this condition. To help manage these symptoms, you can try taking preventive medications such as Amitriptyline
