My dad has been in a coma for 50 days after brain hemorrhage surgery and keeps coughing a lot. The nurses are giving him duolin LD nebulization twice a day and doing suctioning, but the coughing won't stop. Should we keep giving him the duolin LD or is there something else we can try?

I'm really confused and a bit worried about something I've been experiencing for the past year. I've been having this floating sensation and imbalance when I walk. I got an MRI done for both my brain and cervical spine, but they came back normal. What's weird is that sometimes it goes away for about 15 days and then just comes back. It's driving me insane! I dont have headaches, blurred vision, hearing issues, high blood pressure, or diabetes. It all started with this spinning feeling when I got up from bed, but now it mostly feels like imbalance. I consulted an ENT doctor who said it's not BPPV. I've also been to 3 or 4 neurophysicians and tried some medications but they didnt help. One of them suggested it might be anxiety, but I'm really lost here and dont know what to do next. Could you please suggest any other possibilities or any other steps I should take? I'm honestly at a loss and could use some direction.

That could be BPPV or Anxiety,follow your doctors advice maintain proper posture,and stay physicially active and take adequate rest

I'm a 35-year-old IT professional, and I've been dealing with these persistent brain issues. It's like my brain just doesn't want to think clearly anymoreeverything feels so foggy, and I can't focus at all. My concentration and mental abilities seem to be getting worse, and on top of that, I keep forgetting simple things. Even writing documents at work is turning into a real challenge. It's really affecting my professional life. I'm wondering, what can I do to get rid of this brain fog? Should I see a psychiatrist, or is there some medication that might help? I'd love some guidance on this.

no need to worry follow your doctors advice
