Dear Doctor,
I am a 27-year-old male experiencing recurrent episodes of dizziness and imbalance. I do not feel that the room is spinning. Instead, I feel as if there is movement inside my head, which makes me feel dizzy and off-balance. I often feel like I may lose my balance or fall, especially while standing, walking, or travelling on a bike or in an e-rickshaw.
My recent health check-up showed:
• Vitamin D: 13.7 ng/mL (Deficient)
• Vitamin B12: 167 pg/mL (Low)
• Platelet Count: 117 × 10³/µL (Low)
• HDL: 23.7 mg/dL (Low)
• LDL: 131.4 mg/dL (Borderline High)
My blood sugar (Fasting Glucose & HbA1c), thyroid profile, kidney function, iron studies, ESR, and urine tests were normal.
Could my symptoms be related to an inner ear (vestibular) disorder or another balance-related condition? Please advise if I need an ENT examination, hearing assessment, vestibular function tests, or any other investigations.
Thank you.
Dear Doctor,
Something pricked the inside of my mouth on July 2nd. Three days later, it turned into a wound-like sore. Even now, five days later, it hasn't healed. It hurts when I eat or press against it with my tongue, though there is no pain or bleeding otherwise. Please suggest a treatment; I am worried.
Dear Sir,
I am prescribed apriprazole for psychosis, I have problem in my ear. After talking to psychiatrist they prescribed vertin. After taking vertin I am fine but when I miss dosage i start having dizziness. My psychiatrist has asked me to consult an ENT. I humble request you to take my case and assess whether vertin injection can be administered.
I’ve had mild throat discomfort since around June 4. The pain is about 2/10, occurs randomly around 7–8 times a day, lasts only 1–3 seconds, and is not consistent. After visiting a general physician and taking the prescribed medication, the stinging pain resolved. However, I now occasionally experience random episodes of dry throat. I’m also currently getting a wisdom tooth on the same side. I’ve attached a photo of my throat for reference (my tonsils have been visibly enlarged since childhood). I’m also very anxious because I gave oral sex to my boyfriend in 2023 and 2024. Last year, he developed an HPV wart on his palm, which was diagnosed by a doctor. He has never had any genital warts. I’m worried whether my current throat symptoms could be related to HPV and would like to know if any evaluation or tests are necessary.
I have severe pain under my left ear downwards to my neck and I feel difficult in swallowing and there is slight inflammation there but no redness and nothing just i have severe pain there what could be the reason doc is it something serious or it will be ok by itself within few days, by the it is since last 3-4 days , is there any home remedy which I can do to reduce this because I live in hostel and it's my exam time I can't even go for checkup.
