I am diagnosed by my doctor with severe anxiety disorder, depression and pppd .
Started with paroxetine 12.5 cr for 1 month. It definitely working for both anxiety and pppd by 50%. So now my doctor wants me take paroxetine 25 mg cr
But i can not tolerate 25 mg cr even after 1 month.
So can i take 12.5 mg cr twice a day ? Rather then 25 mg cr od ?
Hi Doctor,
For the last 8 days, I have been experiencing a strange sensation in my head. It initially started on the left side at the back of my head, near the ear. For the past 4 days, it has changed to a feeling of heaviness or pressure, like there is some weight on that side. It is not really a headache, but I occasionally feel small, pin-like pains here and there.
I have checked some of my neurological functions myself, and everything seems normal. I can move my eyes normally, walk properly, do household activities, and continue my office work without any problem.
Do you think I still need a CT scan or MRI based on these symptoms?
I am also quite scared about the possibility of a brain tumor/cancer. I understand that no one can rule that out without proper examination or scanning, but I wanted to know whether my symptoms alone suggest anything concerning that would require imaging.
Please advise me on what I should do next.
I fell on backside of my head in the bathroom. I having slight headache and head pain for last 7 days. Can anyone suggest whether I shall go for neurologist or general physician?
My wife sufferings headache from more then 2 years
And last 2 months she suffered daily headaches on head all sides. We consult MD doctor and she completed migraine medicine 10 days course but still not help.
Now doctor ask us to another specialist who can confirm about CT/MRI
Did we right track?
My mother developed sudden slurred speech and numbness on one side of the face, so we took her to a nearby multispecialty hospital immediately. She was evaluated by a neurologist, who ordered an MRI brain with MR angiography (report attached) and an ECG. The neurologist said there was no major acute abnormality on the MRI, advised her to continue her current medications (Tazloc 40 and Zapiz 0.25), and recommended a cardiology review with echocardiogram, lipid profile, fasting blood sugar, and HbA1c tomorrow.
However, her slurred speech and facial numbness are still present. If the MRI does not show an acute stroke, what could explain these persistent symptoms? Could this still represent a TIA/small stroke not visible on imaging?she had Bell's palsy (she had Bell's palsy 3 years ago but got cured), or another neurological condition? What additional evaluation or management would you recommend?
