Hi, I need urgent treatment for vestibular migraine. Please guide me with its treatment.

Answered by Pankaj Kamble

Hello,

  • There's no specific medication for vestibular migraines. Your doctor will prescribe different drugs to stop an attack when it happens, same is called abortive therapy:
  1. Triptans: this medicine is taken at the first sign of headache symptoms.
  2. Vestibular suppressant: It can ease your dizziness and motion sensitivity. This type of drug works on the balance center in your inner ear. Your doctor might prescribe benzodiazepines like lorazepam (Ativan), anti-nausea drugs like promethazine (Phenergan),
  3. Antihistamines: like meclizine.
     
  • If you have frequent or disabling vestibular migraines, your doctor may try drugs similar to traditional migraine prevention meds. These include:
  1. seizure medicines,
  2. blood pressure medicines (like beta blockers and calcium channel blockers),
  3. and some antidepressants.
     
  • CGRP inhibitors: are a new class of preventive medicine that your doctor may recommend if other medicines don't help.
     

We suggest you consult a doctor regarding migraine treatment, before going for any medicines, as they prescribe you the medicine according to your health condition, and our page might help with that - General Physicians in India. Hope this answers your query.

My grandfather age is 69 he had second brain stroke after 3 month now he able to speak slow slow today he got anger and eat food by himself without ask anyone after I ask him is any problem you in eat he said no problem and easy to eat . so please doctor suggest me can we start giving him food by mouth

Male | 69

It is quite predictable for a person who had a stroke for the second time to have trouble speaking and experiencing behavior changes. The good thing is that he ate without any problem which is a way forward. His improved swallowing ability is reflected in his independent eating skills. It's necessary to lay a good basis by cutting out soft foods and liquids to avoid choking. Let him carry out the process of swallowing without being rushed. It's recommended that a speech therapist or a healthcare provider be the one to provide him with a diet plan that he must follow carefully.

Urgent- I am 53 old male with history of restless leg syndrome from approx. 20 years. With time it as become more severe as because I can’t sleep for many nights. By advance diagnosis doc discover i lack in dopamine production. I am having depressing thoughts .. can u give me promising treatment?

Male | 53

No single "promising treatment" will work for everyone with restless leg syndrome. Commonly recommended treatments include medications, lifestyle changes, and physical therapies. Medications and treatments can be prescribed only after a proper diagnosis. Rest you should avoid caffeine, alcohol, and tobacco to reduce the severity of symptoms. Physical therapies such as stretching, massage, and yoga can help relieve muscle tension and improve sleep quality. It is also important to discuss any feelings of depression with your doctor and consider seeking therapy or counseling.

My vitamin b12 levels are near about 200 ng/ml from 10 years although I am non vegetarian.currently i am on ssri from 1 year for anxiety and depression.now iam feeling muscle pain legs,numbness in fingers of hand sometimes very rare. It is due to anxiety issues or b/12 .

Male | 39

Insufficient vitamin B12 amounts can lead to muscle aches and numbness which will be considerably suffered in fingers and legs. If your symptoms are related to low B12 levels, it may still be the case that your meat-eating habits do not have any effect. The best way to handle this with your doctor is to ask them to check your B12 levels and determine whether you need treatment or supplements.

पुरुष | 19

A stroke is a nervous system problem that can cause symptoms like weakness, difficulty speaking, and confusion. It happens when the brain is starved of oxygen due to a blocked blood vessel or a burst blood vessel. Stroke treatment varies and may include medications, therapy, or surgery. The best chance of recovery is if you get to the hospital as soon as possible.
