Brain and Spine Problems

My neck stiffness, headaches, etc started after stopping psych meds like fluoxetine. Post stopping, I lost sleep, got neck muscles spasms, headaches migraines, eye sensitivity, lost lot of weight, and no sleep. Even meds had stopped working on restarting after months. MRI brain taken after 2 years was normal. But I'm still having insomnia, memory issues and focus and slight co-ordination issues. Breathing also is shallow. Is it only a neurotransmitters imbalance or blood flow or csf flow was affected due to this? I had severe bursting headaches, neck stiffness etc. with homeopathy, the migraines and neck stiffness got cleared. As soon as this got resolved, light sensitivity disappeared but tinnitus started. I also had acidity, gas that time. Did I injure my brain or no? Because MRI brain is normal. Any neuronal damage has happened? Please guide correctly.

30F here Need some queries answered about spinal headaches due to spinal anasthesia. I had a spinal anasthesia procedure 2 weeks back. As a result of spinal anasthesia I had a spinal headache. My headache has reduced significantly in the last 2 weeks. I feel light most of the times. However, in an hour of sitting up; I feel a spark in my head for a flash second. Sometimes this spark like headache is followed by 2-3 more sparks(mostly when I move my head)or sometimes there is no more pain for a while. I get around 20-30 such spark like pains in a day. I also have stiff neck 2-3 times a day which relieves almost immediately. 1. Is it normal to feel this kind of pain after spinal headache was relieved? How long does it take for the pain to go away? 2. Is this kind of pain normal for PDPH recovery path? Do I need to take any further precautions till complete recovery? I am heavily anxious I will be stuck with this for my whole life to come!!!

I hit my head fairly hard this morning while I was opening my almirah to search for something. There was no bleeding and the exact spot where I hit my head does not hurt much, but since then I’ve been feeling dizzy and not quite like myself. I have mild dizziness, a strange “off” feeling in my head, and slight pain at the back of my head (even though I didn’t hit that area). I could not study for more than 1 hour because I was feeling "off". Is this normal? Do I need to rush to emergency? I didn't have any blackout or vomiting..

Am a 26-year-old male having recurrent episodes of neurological-type symptoms: • right-sided heaviness/“weakness” feeling (hand and foot more noticeable) • dizziness/light-headedness • mild head pressure There is no objective weakness — I can lift my arm and leg, walk normally, walk on heels/toes, grip objects, and do fine finger movements. Strength and coordination appear normal, but the right side feels achy/heavy. These episodes do not start suddenly like a stroke and usually last for several hours. History: • 2024: similar episode → CT brain normal • March 2025: severe episode → MRI brain normal • Symptom-free for months, now symptoms have returned since yesterday/today. I want to know the possible causes, whether any further evaluation is needed, and how to manage or prevent these episodes.

My child with 3 years of age got febrile seizure like two febrile seizure in 24 hours. In the begining he was taking levetiracetam (1.5 ml) twice a day. After eeg report, my doctor advised me to increase the dose by 0.25 (1.75ml) now and also changed the syrup to Levipil. He started taking levipil in the month of August. Now today the date is 28 January. It's almost 6 months from now. My doctor advised me to continue the syrup . Shall I continue the syrup or reduce the quantity or should I give one time. Please suggest me with your precious reply. My mother told me that I also got seizure but she didn't even gave for any syrup. I am totally confused what to do in this situation. As almost everyone told me to consult another doctor if the child is ok. Earlier my doctor told me to continue for 3 months after eeg she said continue for more 3 months then we'll do another eeg. but now she is not interested in eeg rather she is simply saying to continue the syrup for another 6 months.

On January 6th, early morning, I was working with my team and as I stretched on the left side to fetch a packet, I experienced severe pain on my right leg, starting from my buttocks through the ankle. The pain was excruciating and continuous. I took two pain killers tablets of Voveran SR, but the pain remained. After about two hours, I somehow managed to visit an acupuncture doctor. The needle therapy relieved me a little, but I was still unable to sit. I continued the treatment for 4 days and then started physiotherapy. At the physiotherapy center, the physiotherapist forced my leg upwards as I was lying down on my back and the pain came back. The next day in the evening, I experienced the severe pain again. It got me in tears. After 5 hours, 5 pain killer tablets and 1 tramadol injection the pain subsided. Now, I am scared to do any movement. My right lower ankle stays stiff and has a continuous pain. Also the lower right leg has no sensation on the skin. Please help!

I reached home at 7:30 PM (3 hours post-incident).  Upon reaching home, the phone was placed on a sofa and some notebooks.
