Health Q&A
Feeling dizziness
I have been experiencing recurrent episodes of dizziness. 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 also feel as though I might lose my balance or fall, especially while standing, walking, or travelling on a bike or in an e-rickshaw.
Parkinson's
Hi, My brother's (Age 38) TRODAT result came as below: Presynaptic dopaminergic dysfunction on both sides (L>R). Doctor Prescribed following tablets and he is yet to start the medication. 1. Rasalect 1 mg (once daily) 2. Amantrel 100mg (twice daily) Currently the symptoms what he is having is mild and only discomfort in one hand finger movement and he is able to manage. My questions are 1. Is it necessary to start the meditation immediately as he is able to manage with just minor discomfort only. (Understood that these medications create side effects) 2. Does starting meditation early or late have any merits / demerits with respect to the progression of the disease? 3. Is this scan report finding confirmed Parkinson? Kindly help with your opinion on this please. Thank you in advance.
Prolactinoma
My prolactin was around 150 twice measured at 10 days gap Doctor suggested to go for MRI pituatary Findings in my MRI report "There is an ovoid nodule measuring 6.6 x 8.8 x 5.7 mm (AP x TR x CC) seen in pituitary gland on left side, which appears isointense on T1, heterogeneously hyperintense on T2, hypoenhancing on early phase of dynamic contrast images and intense homogeneous contrast enhancement on delayed images of dynamic study. Pituitary stalk is deviated towards right side. Imaging findings are suggestive of pituitary microadenoma. Serum prolactin estimation is suggested" Now Doctor has suggested me Cabergolin 0.25mg twice a week Is this good?? Does it have side effects?? Who should avoid this?? I felt a lil dizzy i think next day of consumping it I also have PCOS other than this
Spinal problem
Osteophytes and mild disc dessication. Perineural cysts in proximal sacral spinal canal at the level of $2 vertebra. Mild facet joint arthropathy at l5-$1 level. Subtle posterocentral disc protrusion at L4-L5 and L5-$1 levels causing mild anterior thecal sac indentation however there is no obvious impingement of nerve roots. AP spinal canal (thecal sac) diameter: L1-L2- 13.4mm L2-L3-11.8mm L3-L4 -11.5mm L4-L5-10.5mm L5-S1-10mm Spondylotic degenerative changes in form of loss of cervical lordosis, multilevel small marginal endplate osteophytes and disc dessication. Posterior disc osteophytic complexes from C3-C4 to C6-C7 levels causing mild anterior thecal sac indentation and mild narrowing of spinal canal. Few small perineural cysts are seen in bilateral neural foramina at multiple levels. At C4-C5 & C5-C6 levels, there is mild narrowing of right neural foramen with possible mild impingement of exiting nerve root.
