View allI'm really concerned about my mom. She had brain tumor surgery last year, and the doctor prescribed her Hisone 5mg pills to take daily since then. Lately, she's been having some dizziness and occasional blackouts. Could these symptoms be related to the Hisone pills she's taking? What might be causing this?

Although it's true that shortness of breath typically occurs in the third week, it's not a hard and fast rule. Your doctor will continue to monitor your condition and adjust treatment accordingly. Focus on resting, staying hydrated, and following your treatment plan. You're in good hands; let the medical team manage your care.

My dad has this constant electric current-like noise in his head, like a ringing eeee sound. He also gets cramps and pain in his upper abdomen, but his LFT and KFT tests came back normal. He had a hip replacement two years ago, two discs put in his neck spine 14 years back, and his gallbladder was removed. His blood test for thick blood was normal too. Any idea what could be causing his symptoms?
