Why am I weak, tired, and confused post-malaria treatment?

Patient's Query

I'm feeling very weak, tiredness confusion, headache after completing malaria drugs a week ago what could be the problem?

Answered by Dr. Babita Goel

Its actually not uncommon to experience weakness, tiredness, confusion, and headaches after completing certain types of malaria treatment. Some medications can stay in your system for a while even after you've finished the course. In fact, these symptoms could be due to the medication's side effects or possibly even a lingering infection. I would recommend reaching out to your physician to discuss your symptoms. They may want to run some tests to check your blood count and see if there are any other underlying issues that need addressing. In the meantime, make sure you're staying hydrated and getting plenty of rest.

Hi, I'm m18,I consumed edible cannabis around a week ago , days has passed by ,and right now I'm having constant headaches and in some positions I can feel the blood pumping in brain too.

Male | 18

Your headaches which occurred after eating edible cannabis could be connected with cannabis use. Occasionally, marijuana can trigger headaches as a result. This might be an explanation for the sensation of blood pouring into your brain. To manage your symptoms, do not forget to drink plenty of water, get enough sleep, and try to consult a specialist for further advice.

When someone one trying to get alpha gpc for focusing on study then what dosage you give for 19 age

Male | 19

If you're considering Alpha GPC to enhance your studies, proceed with caution. A safe daily dose for a 19-year-old is 300-600 mg, but it's best to start with a lower dose for a few days to see how your body responds. While Alpha GPC may improve cognitive function, remember to maintain a balanced diet, stay hydrated, and get enough sleep for overall health and focus.

I am feeling dizzyness and heavyness on right side of temple in forehead and pressure in forehead, ear, cheek, and nose block on right side of the face. Please suggest me diagnosis and treatment.

Male | 41

As per the complaints, this is a case of Sinusitis.

If you have sinusitis, the doctor may be able to recommend additional medications to relieve your symptoms, such as steroid nasal sprays or drops to reduce sinus swelling.

antihistamines - if your symptoms are caused by an allergy

Antibiotics - if you have a bacterial infection and are severely sick or at risk of consequences, antibiotics may be prescribed (but antibiotics are often not needed, as sinusitis is usually caused by a virus)

My uncle is 67 years old with lung cancer and been in remission for a while. He suffers bad migraines. He was getting shots and nothing worked. He said he hit his head a couple times and developed a subdermal hematoma. He started throwing up and took him to er they transferred him to toledo hospital where they did burr holes and released blood from his brain. He is not recovering or answering any questions properly. Now he has air in the burrs. Last scan showed no air but blood has moved to the back of his head. They are giving fentanyl by IV and npo. 3 days not eating.He is confused and restrained. No communication with a doctor since after surgery We been here since Thursday He had his surgery friday. Should I take him somewhere else? His cancer is not killing him. These headaches from chemo and radiation after effects I believe.

Male | 67

The headache and confusion he is experiencing might be due to the hematoma, which is a blood clot in his brain. The air in the burr holes is concerning. The brain cannot tolerate excess blood, as it may cause problems. At least the pain medicine is helping him. His recovery process might be a bit lengthy. It's important to stay in constant communication with the doctors at the hospital.

My son 21 years old. Struggling with migrains. Have now started to feel pressure in forehead and dizzy. Have just now taken paracetamol 1 gram. Is it ok to take migraine medication he got from doctor last time now already? He is really scared to wake up and get it like last time. It was really bad with vomiting.

Male | 21

Weakness and sensitivity to light, as well as vomiting, may be the result of migraines. He is on paracetamol which is great, but he can also take the migraine medication his doctor prescribed if it is the case, even though it is soon after the paracetamol. It is important that the doctor’s guidance is adhered to and the medication is taken as instructed which will also help to prevent the next similar episode from happening.

Female | 36

This can be due to various reasons. It may be because you are not taking in enough water, or perhaps you are feeling stressed or tired. Things such as not eating regularly or having low blood sugar can also make you feel this way. Drink a lot of water, take a proper diet, and avoid overexertion. Suppose in case dizziness persists, it is feasible to check with your doctor so that any serious issues will be identified.
