Why am I excessively sleepy and lightheaded?

Your symptoms of excessive sleepiness, tiredness, weakness, and lightheadedness could indicate anemia. Anemia occurs when your body lacks enough red blood cells to carry oxygen to your organs, making you feel tired and dizzy. This may be due to iron deficiency, blood loss, or a health issue affecting your red blood cells. I suggest visiting a doctor for a blood test to check your iron levels. Including iron-rich foods like spinach, beans, and lean meats in your diet can also help.

Can I Work in Hospital with Electromagnetic Radiation Post-Shunt Placement?

Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension (IIH) can cause headaches and vision problems due to increased pressure around the brain. One common treatment is shunt placement, a tube that drains excess fluid. Working with radiation equipment in a hospital is unlikely to affect your shunt, as shunt valves are not impacted by electromagnetic radiation.

Is my worsening headache with fever and neck stiffness serious?

Headache with fever, stiff neck, and nausea along with them could be a serious matter. These symptoms, especially the worsening headache, might indicate meningitis, which is a swelling around the brain. In most cases, this is due to infections. If you have suffered a head injury recently, it becomes even more crucial for you to get checked by a neurologist urgently.

Did Holding My Breath Cause Brain Damage?

Holding your breath for a long time can sometimes make you dizzy or suffocate, nevertheless, it is improbable for you to suffer from a permanent brain injury. Your brain which requires oxygen is doing well because you have been receiving good oxygen levels. If you're feeling worried, try some relaxation techniques like deep breathing or talking to someone you trust.

Could my frequent severe headaches be serious?

It sounds like you may be experiencing a migraine. Migraines can cause severe headaches along with symptoms like dizziness, blurred vision, shaky hands, restlessness, and sharp head pain. Some people also experience a buzzing sound or ringing in their ears. Try tracking your headaches and possible triggers, such as stress, lack of sleep, or certain foods. Stay hydrated, eat regular meals, and practice relaxation techniques like deep breathing or light exercise. If the headaches persist, it's best to consult a neurologist for further evaluation and treatment.
