For the past month, I've been noticing a salty thin liquid on the right side of my throat. When I spit it out, it's clear and thin but doesn't look like regular sputum. I keep swallowing or spitting to clear my throat, but it's only happening on the right side. I had ear surgeries and tonsils removed as a kid could this be related or is it something normal?

View allI'm dealing with vertigo and I'm not sure whether I should see an ENT specialist or a neurologist, or maybe even both. Can you help me figure out which one would be more appropriate for my symptoms? Also, is this condition harmful or something I shouldn't be too worried about? I'm curious if it's something that can be treated with just medicine or exercises. Is surgery sometimes necessary for this kind of issue?
If you are experiencing vertigo which is triggered by positional changes, such as whilst getting up from a lying down position, or whilst turning your head quickly, you should consult an ENT specialist in order to rule out BPPV (benign paroxysmal positional vertigo). If your vertigo is triggered at random, without any particular change in position, you should consult a neurologist for further evaluation.

I'm usually a really good sleeper, but lately, I've noticed something a bit worrying. When I wake up, there's blood mixed with my saliva. It's only four or five drops, but it's still concerning. I know my blood pressure has been at 130 over 87. Could these two things be connected, or is there something else I should be worried about?
One possible cause could be gum disease or gingivitis. To address this issue, you can use a mouthwash containing chlorhexidine to help reduce inflammation and prevent infection. Additionally, you can take Vitamin C supplements to support gum health. Regarding your blood pressure of 13087, it is slightly elevated. You can manage this by making lifestyle changes such as reducing salt intake, exercising regularly, and maintaining a healthy weight. It is important to monitor your blood pressure regularly and consult with a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.
