I'm looking at my MRI results and I'm seeing terms like calcified granuloma in the right parietal lobe and mild diffuse cerebral atrophy. Can you help me understand what these really mean? Is there something I should be worried about?

View allI've been to the neurologist again for my neck pain and dizziness, and he found my blood pressure at 15090 with a pulse of 130. After asking some questions, he prescribed me Gaba300, Prolol 40, and Nexito Plus, advising me to take them for a month. Is it okay to use these medications for a second time? He mentioned everything is normal and to stay happy, but I'm not sure what to do next. Could you guide me on whether I should consult a different doctor or if there's anything else I should consider?
The medications prescribed to you by your neurologist are appropriate for managing your symptoms. Gaba300 (Gabapentin) can help relieve nerve pain and may also help with dizziness. The usual dosage is 300mg to 600mg three times a day. Prolol 40 (Propranolol) is a beta-blocker that can help lower blood pressure and heart rate. The usual dosage is 40mg to 80mg once a day. Nexito Plus is a combination medication containing Escitalopram and Clonazepam. It is used to treat anxiety and depression. The usual dosage is one tablet daily. It's important to follow your doctor's instructions and take the medications as prescribed. Additionally, make sure to monitor your blood pressure regularly and follow up with your neurologist as scheduled. If you experience any concerning symptoms or side effects, contact your doctor.

I've been experiencing some sudden dizziness and nausea, and it's really uncomfortable. I also start sweating whenever the dizziness hits. There's also this weird uncomfortable feeling right around my diaphragm area. It's kind of worrying me. Could you help me figure out what's going on with these symptoms?
As an eggetarian, you can consider the following options to boost Vitamin D levels: *Prescription-based options* 1. *Vitamin D3 (Cholecalciferol)*: Available in various strengths (e.g., 60,000 IU). Consult your doctor for the recommended dosage. 2. *Vitamin D2 (Ergocalciferol)*: Another form of Vitamin D, available by prescription. *Over-the-counter (OTC) options* 1. *Vitamin D3 supplements*: Available in various strengths (e.g., 1,000-5,000 IU). Choose a reputable brand and consult with your doctor. 2. *Multivitamins with Vitamin D*: Ensure the multivitamin contains Vitamin D3 (Cholecalciferol) and follow the recommended dosage. *Food-based options* 1. *Fortified plant-based milk*: Choose milk with added Vitamin D. 2. *Fortified cereals*: Select cereals with Vitamin D fortification. 3. *Eggs*: As an eggetarian, you're already consuming eggs, which are a natural source of Vitamin D. Remember to: - Consult your doctor before starting any supplements. - Get regular blood tests to monitor your Vitamin D levels. - Maintain a balanced diet and lifestyle.

I've been having this weird cold sensation in my head, like trickling water, for two days now. On top of that, I've been getting these mild headaches every so often over the past few days. I'm a bit worried about the cold feeling in my head. What do you think I should do?
Could be a sinus infection. I recommend taking a decongestant like Sudafed (pseudoephedrine) 30mg every 4-6 hours to help with the congestion and cold sensation in your head. Additionally, you can take a pain reliever like Tylenol (acetaminophen) 500mg every 6 hours for the headache. Make sure to stay hydrated and get plenty of rest. If your symptoms persist or worsen, please consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation.
