I'm really concerned because I recently found out I have an 8mm calcified focus on the left side of my brain. Can you explain what this might mean? Should I be worried about it? What could have caused this, and what are the potential effects or treatments? I just need some clarity on what I should expect or do next.

I've been noticing that I only feel dizzy when I sneeze, and it's something that's happened several times in the past. But today, it got really bothersome because after a sneeze, I actually lost my balance and fell down. Is there any medicine or solution that could help with this?

This sounds like a case of vasovagal syncope, where sneezing triggers a sudden drop in heart rate and blood pressure, leading to dizziness and fainting. Medication such as Fludrocortisone can help increase blood volume and reduce the likelihood of fainting episodes triggered by sneezing. However, it is important to consult with a healthcare professional before starting any new medication.
