Question 1

I'm really concerned about something unusual that happened today. My friend experienced twisting of her tongue a couple of times at different intervals. We went to see a general physician who checked her vitals and said everything seemed normal. However, he recommended we get an MRI or a CT scan done. Now, I'm wondering if we should also consult a neurologist. Does this situation typically require a specialist? Would love to hear your thoughts on this.

Accepted Answer

I would definitely advise you to get it checked out by a neurologist in person for further evaluation and management.
He will examine you and suggest you further.

Question 2

I've been experiencing some sudden dizziness and nausea, and it's really uncomfortable. I also start sweating whenever the dizziness hits. There's also this weird uncomfortable feeling right around my diaphragm area. It's kind of worrying me. Could you help me figure out what's going on with these symptoms?

Accepted Answer

As an eggetarian, you can consider the following options to boost Vitamin D levels:

*Prescription-based options*

1. *Vitamin D3 (Cholecalciferol)*: Available in various strengths (e.g., 60,000 IU). Consult your doctor for the recommended dosage.
2. *Vitamin D2 (Ergocalciferol)*: Another form of Vitamin D, available by prescription.

*Over-the-counter (OTC) options*

1. *Vitamin D3 supplements*: Available in various strengths (e.g., 1,000-5,000 IU). Choose a reputable brand and consult with your doctor.
2. *Multivitamins with Vitamin D*: Ensure the multivitamin contains Vitamin D3 (Cholecalciferol) and follow the recommended dosage.

*Food-based options*

1. *Fortified plant-based milk*: Choose milk with added Vitamin D.
2. *Fortified cereals*: Select cereals with Vitamin D fortification.
3. *Eggs*: As an eggetarian, you're already consuming eggs, which are a natural source of Vitamin D.

Remember to:

- Consult your doctor before starting any supplements.
- Get regular blood tests to monitor your Vitamin D levels.
- Maintain a balanced diet and lifestyle.

Question 3

I'm experiencing dizziness whenever I sit in one place for around 10 minutes or so. When I stand up, my head starts spinning, but it goes away after a little while. I recently had my blood pressure checked and it was normal. Can you help me understand why this is happening?

Accepted Answer

Visit Physician for evaluation and appropriate management

Why do I forget things?

Severe stress, depression, a vitamin B-12 deficiency, insufficient sleep, some prescription drugs and infections can all play a role.
