View allI'm a 47-year-old woman and I've been experiencing some concerning symptoms lately. For about a week now, I've been feeling really weak and dealing with vertigo, especially when I'm sleeping and when I wake up in the morning. I just started taking vertinstar 16 two days ago. On top of that, my periods have been irregular. I'm really starting to worry about what's going on. Can you help me understand what might be causing these issues?
It sounds like you're experiencing symptoms of vertigo and weakness, which could be related to several factors, including hormonal changes given your irregular periods. Since youve started taking Vertinstar, it may help with the dizziness, but I recommend consulting with your doctor for a thorough evaluation, as these symptoms could indicate an underlying issue like dehydration, blood pressure fluctuations, or an inner ear problem.

I'm a 20-year-old guy and I've been in the habit of masturbating about three to five times a week. It used to be fine, but last year I started getting this weird needle and pin sensation and numbness in my hands. I stopped for about 10-12 days and the sensations eased up in about a week. But the moment I started again, the sensations came back the very first day. Can you help me understand what's going on with my sexual health? Are there any home remedies you'd suggest?
Your symptoms of needle-like sensations, numbness, and rapid relapse after resuming masturbation suggest a possible condition known as "neurogenic shock" or "over-stimulation neuropathy," which may be related to excessive masturbation, pelvic floor muscle tension, or peripheral nerve compression; consider home remedies like taking regular breaks from masturbation, practicing relaxation techniques (e.g., deep breathing, meditation), engaging in physical exercise, and applying warm compresses to the genital area to relieve tension; however, consult a urologist, or a neurologist for personalized guidance and to rule out underlying medical conditions.

I have this weird sensation of water in my head and constant tightness, along with sensory OCD. I've tried every type of medication SSRIs, SNRIs, tricyclics, even antipsychotics but nothing has helped. Is there anything else I can try, like surgery or electric therapy? And is this condition even curable?
Water sensation and OCD with med failure may benefit from advanced options like Deep Brain Stimulation or rTMS—consult neurologist or neuropsychiatrist.
