Dizziness??
So yesterday I felt sudden dizziness and subtle imbalance. Had to rest after that, whole night wasn't so active like always. Then the next morning it felt like heaviness on the head and imbalance, unsteady while walking or movement. And 2 days back I got excessive sweating while working. So need to know is this happening due to heat or anything like that?
Pets nails Scratch
We attended one pet event on 11th April, my son got tiny scratches of chest. We have given first dose of Rabies on 14th April, ( is it too late)? Second dose onward we shifted to Municipality hospital. Second dose taken on 17th April and Third on 21st April and now 4th dose will be on 11th May. As per Municipality 4 does is good enough, is it correct?
Restlessness after Surgery
My 78-year-old grand father had recent hip surgery 15 days ago Initially (few days after surgery), he had: confusion and delirium which improved after we started melatonin 3mg. But for the last 3 days: during daytime he is mostly normal At night (after ~9 PM), he becomes very restless: keeps turning left - straight continuously cannot stay in one position even for a few seconds asks to sit every 10–15 minutes, sits briefly, then lies down and repeats appears sleepy but unable to fall asleep There are no hallucinations now, but restlessness is severe. His reports show low sodium (129). His sugar in today morning - 78 2 hours After lunch (just 2 spoon) - 90 He is also eating very little. He doesn't like taste of anything at all. No juice, no food nothing. He's hardly eating 2-3 spoon. So somehow I started giving him ORS twice a day. And yes He's very stubborn person - doesn't like to go or stay in hospitals. even for broken bone surgery we had to convince him too much.
