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've noticed that every time I try to stand on one leg with my eyes closed, I lose my balance. Should I be worried about a nervous disorder? Everything's fine when both legs are on the ground or if I have my eyes open standing on one leg. Plus, I'm having a tough time concentrating and remembering things, like names of old friends and terms from books, which started about a year ago. Could these be related?

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.

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?
Symptoms may be neurological or metabolic—consider neurology consult and repeat imaging if needed.
