I'm a 52-year-old who has been on Parkinson's medication, specifically Syndopa, for the past year. Recently, I've developed a stomach infection and was considering taking O2 tablets for it. Is it safe to combine these with my current medication for Parkinson's? I'm a bit worried about any potential side effects or interactions.

View allI'm having this issue where every time I open my mouth, I feel this sharp pain on the side of my head. It just started a few days ago, and I usually study till 3 AM every night. Do you think my late nights could be causing this? The pain is right around the head, where the top of the ear is, but it's definitely the head and not the ear. Stretching my mouth or moving it in weird ways also triggers the pain. What could be causing this, and is there anything I should do about it?
The pain on the side of your head when opening your mouth could be related to several factors, including: *Possible Causes* 1. *Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ) Disorder*: The TMJ connects the jawbone to the skull. Late-night studying and irregular sleep patterns might have triggered TMJ strain, leading to pain on the side of your head. 2. *Tension and Stress*: Prolonged studying and lack of sleep can cause muscle tension, leading to pain in the head and neck region. 3. *Jaw Misalignment or Bruxism*: Grinding or clenching your teeth during sleep or due to stress might have caused jaw misalignment, leading to pain on the side of your head. *What to Do* 1. *Apply Heat or Cold Packs*: Apply a warm or cold compress to the affected area to relax the muscles and reduce pain. 2. *Practice Relaxation Techniques*: Engage in stress-reducing activities like meditation, deep breathing, or yoga to manage tension and stress. 3. *Improve Your Sleep Habits*: Establish a regular sleep schedule, avoiding late-night studying and ensuring 7-8 hours of sleep each night. 4. *Jaw Exercises*: Perform simple jaw exercises like opening your mouth wide, moving your jaw from side to side, and massaging your temples to relax the jaw muscles.

I've been feeling really dizzy and heavy-headed for the past few months and it's really starting to worry me. I visited a neurologist and he said it's Migraine associated Vertigo. He suggested I take Amitone 25 and Stalopam, but after trying them for two weeks, they didn't help much. A friend recommended Vertin 25 and Stemitil, which worked for a bit, but the vertigo attacks have started again. I've noticed that these attacks seem to happen more in AC environments like in a car or at the office. I feel a bit better at home or outside. My ears feel blocked and my head feels heavy for over 24 hours. Sleeping seems to help, but the feeling comes back as soon as I'm up. Sometimes it feels like I might pass out. I've already been to four different doctors, did a CT scan, neck X-ray, and MRV scans, but nothing showed up. Do you have any idea what could be going on or any suggestions?
It sounds like you are experiencing persistent vertigo attacks despite trying different medications. Based on your symptoms and the pattern of your attacks, it may be worth considering a diagnosis of Meniere's disease, which is a disorder of the inner ear that can cause vertigo, ear fullness, and hearing loss. In such cases, a combination of Betahistine (Vertin) and Prochlorperazine (Stemetil) can be effective in managing symptoms. Additionally, you can try using a nasal spray decongestant to help with your blocked ears, such as Oxymetazoline. It is important to avoid triggers like cold temperatures and air conditioning, as they can exacerbate symptoms. If your symptoms persist or worsen, it may be helpful to consult with an Ear, Nose, and Throat (ENT) specialist for further evaluation and management.
