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?

I got terrible headache / migraine 2 days ago and took vasograin containing ergotamine tartrate and caffeine tablets (1mg+100mg) one on june 1st night, then june 2nd night and today morning june 3rd. I also felt feverish due to overexhaustion yesterday and took a crocin 650 yesterday night (june 2nd) and today morning. Later I checked on the net that vasograin is unsafe during breastfeeding, but I have already fed him after taking the tablet. What measures can I take now to keep my baby safe? Also I feel I am having pain in my throat. What medication can be suggested for migraine and fever for a breastfeeding mother? Please help.

Astigmatism, Development Delay

Hi, My son is around 3 years old and has a development delay. For a few weeks we have noticed that he put pressure on one corner of the eye with finger and then moved his both eyes to one corner and focused on objects which are little far. We visited the paediatric ophthalmologist today and he told us there is refractive error in both eyes and the dilated eye exam needs to be done after that he will be prescribed the number. Also, My kid had Dengue Shock Syndrome when he was 4-5 months old. How much do we need to worry about refractive error issues? Does he need to wear spect's lifetime? Does Dengue Shoch Syndrome have anything to do with this refractive error or my child's development delay? Also, he has some redness in the eyes, so the doctor prescribed moxicip d, moxicip, pataone eye drops for one week. Are these safe? And Does both adults and children both have the same drops?
