My mom has been feeling a burning sensation all over her body, especially on her back, legs, stomach, and face. I'm concerned because there aren't any rashes or signs of an allergy. Should I take her to a dermatologist or a neurologist?

-It sounds like your mom's symptoms could be related to nerve irritation or other underlying issues, so it's a good idea to start with a neurologist. They can help diagnose if it's related to nerve conditions like neuropathy or other neurological concerns

Question

I've been feeling really dizzy and heavy-headed for the past few months and it's really starting to worry me. I visited a neurologist and he said it's Migraine associated Vertigo. He suggested I take Amitone 25 and Stalopam, but after trying them for two weeks, they didn't help much. A friend recommended Vertin 25 and Stemitil, which worked for a bit, but the vertigo attacks have started again. I've noticed that these attacks seem to happen more in AC environments like in a car or at the office. I feel a bit better at home or outside. My ears feel blocked and my head feels heavy for over 24 hours. Sleeping seems to help, but the feeling comes back as soon as I'm up. Sometimes it feels like I might pass out. I've already been to four different doctors, did a CT scan, neck X-ray, and MRV scans, but nothing showed up. Do you have any idea what could be going on or any suggestions?

These strokes often go undetected and untreated, which can lead to long-term consequences. In this article, we’ll explore the key facts about silent strokes, how they affect your health, and what you can do to reduce your risk.
