What's vestibular migraine exactly? I've been experiencing some weird symptoms like being really sensitive to sounds, feeling nauseous, and sometimes I get this sudden dizzy feeling that makes it hard to walk for more than 10 minutes. And then there's this numb sensation in my feet that comes with the giddiness. Should I be worried about these symptoms, and are there precautions I can take?

To stop taking the Fexofenadine + Montelukast combination tablet: *Gradual Tapering* 1. Consult a new doctor or an allergist for personalized guidance. 2. Gradually reduce the dosage over 1-2 weeks to minimize withdrawal symptoms. 3. Start by reducing the frequency (e.g., every other night) or the dosage (e.g., half the tablet). *Managing Withdrawal Symptoms* 1. For itching, try applying topical creams or taking oral antihistamines like diphenhydramine. 2. If symptoms persist or worsen, consult your doctor for alternative solutions. *Follow-up* 1. Schedule a follow-up appointment with your new doctor to monitor your condition. 2. Discuss any concerns or changes in your symptoms. Remember, it's essential to consult a healthcare professional before stopping or adjusting any medication.
