Heaviness in Head: Urgent Medical Assistance Needed
It’s good that you’ve ruled out heart issues and hypertension. However, the persistent heaviness in the head and fatigue could be related to other causes such as anemia, thyroid issues, or even stress and anxiety. I would recommend visiting an internal medicine specialist or a neurologist for a thorough evaluation to pinpoint the cause and get appropriate treatment.

Can We Cure Hemifacial Spasm Permanently?
A hemifacial spasm causes one side of your face to twitch involuntarily. This happens when a nerve gets irritated in your cheek area. Although uncontrolled facial twitching is unpleasant, treatment options like Botox injections or surgery exist. These can help relax the affected nerve, stopping the spasms. Such treatments aim to provide relief, improving your quality of life. So do not lose hope, as permanent solutions are available.

It can lead to symptoms such as headaches, neck pain, dizziness, or walking problems. Treatment can be routine medications for the symptoms and sometimes surgery to relieve the pressure on the brain.

Why do loud sounds make me feel dizzy?
You may be experiencing noise-induced dizziness, wherein loud sounds or certain surroundings make you feel off-balance or dizzy. It can occur as a result of the sensitivity of your inner ear. It is perfectly normal to be anxious in such situations. Try the earplugs in the noisy areas and take short breaks in the quieter spots. If the issue remains, it is necessary to talk with a neurologist for more information in case of a further problem.
