So, I've been having this thing happening where when I lie down and close my eyes, I start feeling this pulsating sensation and a little dizziness, like a tightness in the back of my head. It comes and goes, especially when I'm breathing in and out. It usually goes away after a bit, but I'm not sure what's triggering it. Sometimes I don't feel it at all, but other times it'll happen while I'm just sitting too. Also, I have an anxiety disorder, and my heart rate usually stays between 80 to 90 bpm. Does this sound like something I should be worried about, or is it more linked to my anxiety?

I banged my head pretty hard on the garage door when it was going up last night. I didnt pass out, there's no blood, and I haven't thrown up or anything, but there's this burning sensation and a slight headache going on. The ER doc said it's not a concussion, but I'm kind of worried. How would I know if there's any internal bleeding? And also, should I consider pausing my birth control pills while I'm figuring this out?

Monitoring for Internal Bleeding_ 1. *Watch for worsening headache*: If your headache worsens or becomes severe, seek immediate medical attention. 2. *Look for other symptoms*: Monitor for symptoms like: - Dizziness or loss of balance - Nausea or vomiting - Blurred vision or sensitivity to light - Confusion or disorientation - Weakness or numbness in arms or legs 3. *Seek immediate medical attention if you experience*: - Sudden severe headache - Difficulty speaking or swallowing - Weakness or paralysis in face, arm, or leg - Vision changes or double vision _Birth Control Pills_ As a precautionary measure, consider stopping your birth control pills temporarily until you're cleared by your doctor. Birth control pills can increase the risk of blood clots, which may be a concern if you have internal bleeding. _Follow-up_ Schedule a follow-up appointment with your primary care physician or a neurologist within the next 24-48 hours to reassess your symptoms and determine the best course of action.

I'm dealing with a slip disk at L4-5 and L5-S1, and my doctors are suggesting surgery. But I've been on medications like Razo 20mg, Pregabid 75mg, Decort 6, and D3 once daily, and I've noticed some improvement over the past week, especially with the numbness getting better. I really don't want to go through surgery if I can avoid it. Do you think it's possible to keep this improvement going with just meds and avoid the operation altogether?
