Health Q&A
Light Headedness and Brain Fog

I am a 32 year old male experiencing persistent light headedness, brain fog, blurred vision, and neck stiffness for the past 2 years. The symptoms are present almost daily and significantly affect my quality of life. I have consulted multiple neurologists, a cardiologist, and an orthopaedic specialist. MRI scans and other investigations have been reported as normal. I continue to experience these symptoms despite normal test results and no clear diagnosis. Could this be related to a vestibular disorder, cervical spine dysfunction, TMJ/jaw clenching, autonomic dysfunction, posture related issues, or another underlying condition? What further investigations or specialist consultations would you recommend?

Depression stress

In depression (primary) or secondary cause( inflammation, medicine drug withdrawal, migraines, headaches), low nutrition etc, is there any death of brain cells? As one online resource was saying that inflammation causes depression and leads to loss of brain cells. Is there any loss of brain cells in stress, anxiety, depression? Yes or no? Reversible or irreversible? Rtms and psych meds cause any harm? Loss of sleep due to neurotransmitters imbalances for any reasons, causes loss of brain cells(any)? Please guide correctly. In physiological stress and mental stress, breathing becomes shallow and rapid. Does this cause any neuronal loss or damage due to less oxygen or brain maintains oxygen? Please let me know. Stopping of psych meds causes serotonin to drop and causes headaches. Does this reduce blood supply to the brain causing any memory issues or no?

Mother is on ventilator.

My mother is on ventilator due to right sided ischemic stroke post her mitral valve replacement surgery in Narayana hospital Bangalore. She has been on ventilator since 27/05/2026. She can move her right leg and right hand fairly well. But her left leg has little movements and left hand is immobile. She opens her eyes on calling, takes her tongue out on commanding. She responds to commands. Her ct mri earlier showed brain swelling but now it has reduced due to medicines. But still she can't pas her extubation trial. And now doctors planned for tracheostomy. I m confused and scared how long it will take for her to come out of ventilator support. What are the recovery and survival chances?
