hydrocephalus is a condition in which the fluid in the brain increases so much so that it presses on the brain tissue. if the pressure keeps on increasing, a lot can go wrong. the increase in the fluid can be due to over production or due to inefficient drainage. the only available treatment is by shunting which is done by surgery by inserting a shunt. you should undergo surgery ASAP. to avoid complications. no other treatment is available in any form of medicine.

I'm experiencing this strange internal vibration or buzzing sensation throughout my body, especially in my legs. It really becomes noticeable when I'm sitting or lying down almost like an electric current running through me. I've been on PPIs like ranitidine, rabeprazole, and omeprazole recently, though I only took the first two for a day each and omeprazole for four days. They also prescribed gabapentin, but I haven't tried it yet because I'm worried about the side effects. It's been weeks now, and while I initially thought this was all due to some acidity or acid reflux, what scares me more is my muscle mass seems to be disappearing. I can press or pull my muscles too easily, and sometimes I feel weak or numb and even have trouble breathing while reading or studying. What's going on with me?

you may have vitamin B12 deficiency.
