Elderly Back Pain and Loss of Balance: What Could Be the Cause?

Patient's Query

My grandmother is suffering from back pain and she is suffering from twisting the tongue and she didn't balance her body and also she has blood pressure and we take her to the near by doctor he gave her tablets and we continue with that tablets What is the reason for her unbalance and she didn't twist her tongue

Answered by Dr. Gurneet Sawhney

Your grandmother’s imbalance and tongue sensation may be due to nerve issues, side effects of medication, or a minor neurological problem. Since she's already on treatment, it's best to consult a neurologist for a detailed check-up to find the exact cause.

i'm getting extreme severe pain at the back of head. it's feeling as if someone's hitting me with hammer with each heartbeat. I had lunch in the afternoon and slept. The pain has been there from the moment I woke up. It's in the occipital region, like the occipital headache. I'm assuming 4 main reasons. 1st one is gastric pain(if gas pain has been struck in my head). it occured to me before and also maybe this time since I didn't walk after having lunch, i usually have gastric issue. 2nd is I have severe wax in my ear. my ear's also paining, so i'm assuming this back head pain because of ear wax. third is the stress/strain which i've been experiencing from a month or so, due to the exam fear n stress, i didn't sleep properly from a month and yesterday night I had undergone an incident with the biggest stress in my life, so, i'm assuming that. 4th reason is that frm childhood, i have severe severe body heat within my body, my body overheats a lot within and i had continously overheating food from 2 days and didn't drink much water, so i'm also assumung pain because of overheating. pls tell me the final diagnosis. Dear Sir/Mam, you can cross question me how much ever deep u want ! jus give me the cause n solution pls doctor! i'll be really really grateful to u sir/mam

Hello guys, I am a male 24 years old. So in early 201 9 i started to get weird symptoms than at the end develop constant feeling of them.lt all started with just sinus pressure and dizzines,but it develop in to constant unsteadiness like i am walking on a boat 24/7.It does never stop not even for a single second. It does not matter if i am laying,sitting or walking the sensation is there always.This sensation is accompanied with sort of like bouncy vision which is constant same as the unsteadiness.lts hard for me to focus on objects because i have a sensation that they are moving or bouncing.This dual sensation varies in intensity depending on the day. Those both sensation are going on for 5 years.l have developed anxiety with it and often find myself panicking over this symptoms I did an MRI scan that showed no malignat changes on the brain and a C6-C7 discus hernia and relative spinal stenosis. I also went to few ENT doctors,that recommended me to do a deviated septum surgery which i got. They said it could be to air pressure in my ears and oxygen deficiency which ultimately did not prove to be right. I went to a few neurologist that all said the same,that there is nothing wrong according to them I also went to an eye doctor who said i do not have anything wrong with my eyes despite my bouncy vision.Even when i explained my symptoms she said that she had never heard of something like this On the recommendation of my ENT doctor i did caloric test that show the next parametars: Right ear showed 2.20 and left ear showed 2.50 (keep in mind i do not know what this means) I also have checked my blood vessels on my neck to check for circulation and it came out fine I am literally out of options and i do not know what to do next. Anyone out there with simillar kind of symptoms? Can anybody give me some advice for what to do next?

Hello sir my mother is having paralyzed stroke and she is having nerves problem also kindly update me is it possible to operate

Female | 62

A paralyzed stroke is a condition where the blood supply to a certain part of the brain is minimal. This may, consequently, lead to nerve complications that can result in paralysis. Performing surgery on the brain in the case of stroke-related issues is rarely the first line of treatment after a stroke. Rather, the physicians place more emphasis on rehabilitation therapy to restore the patient's ability to walk and do everyday activities.

Feeling Dizzy vomiting headache

Female | 21

It may be caused by the virus for instance, and your body is struggling with it, or it may be a simple dehydration issue. Drink water frequently, rest, and eat well-cooked bland foods (crackers being one of the great options indeed). If your symptoms do not improve, consult a doctor.

I feel very strong pressure in my head and behind my eyes whenever I lie down or sit, but it eases when I stand, and sometimes I hear a slight crackling sound or the sound of small bubbles from inside my head. I went to a neurologist and the results of the MRI determined that I had spondylosis in the cervical vertebrae and stenosis in the cervical spinal canal, and he prescribed these medications to me. baclofen 10mg twice a day antox, santanerva, celebrex 200mg once a day antodine three times a day I started treatment three weeks ago, but the symptoms are the same and there is no improvement. The doctor told me that the headache and pressure should decrease, but once the effect of the baclofen wears off, the pain and pressure return as they were. I take the medications regularly. Every time I ask the doctor, he doesn't answer me anymore, and I don't know whether to take the treatment or stop, and I know that I can't stop baclofen suddenly because it's dangerous. What should I do?? Are there medications that are better than these medications or more effective in relieving pain at least, and is there anything additional in the x-ray that the doctor did not say about? normal weight, chronic diseases: gerd

Female | 21

The pressure in your head and crackling sound may indicate a nerve issue in the neck. While the medication you're taking can help, if you're not feeling better, it's important to explore other treatment options. Don't worry about changes in your baclofen dose, but consult your neurologist before making any adjustments. You may also want to ask about other medications that could be more suitable for your condition. As for the X-ray, the doctor likely focused on the areas related to your main symptoms, which is why nothing else was mentioned.

meri yaddast kam hoti ja rahi hai,mujhe ghabrahat hoti hai, kuchh normal nahi lagta bahut weakness mahsus hoti hai, man hamesha dukhi rahta hai. dimaag me confusion si rahti hai

Male | 42

You are having stress and anxiety symptoms. Stress can result in poorer memory, anxiety, and distorted reality. Fatigue, perpetual gloom, and delusion are also possible indicators of stress. To feel better, engage yourself in some calming activities such as breathing deeply, speaking with someone you trust, or doing something you like, such as listening to music or taking a walk.

When I was studying and learn I don't remember anything in exam and also distraction is high I can't focus on study so I heard about alpha gpc tablet that's why I want to ask what can I do , plz prescribed?

Male | 19

This might be a few things such as stress, sleeplessness, and bad food quality. Using alpha GPC tablets can be a way to boost your memory and concentration. But, first, you should deal with the main cause of your symptoms, such as not enough sleep, a balanced diet, and stress management. To improve your studying, you may want to make a study schedule, take breaks, and keep things organized.
