Hey there , I've been facing health issues lately... On normal days it's quite okay but once the headache starts it's unbearable , it feels that all those nerves are swollen .. Last time , i took saridon - 0 effect , I usually have gastric issues too so i took pantop dsr - still no help.. What should i do in this case ?? Go for a ct scan of my head or something

Ans: Head ache could be due to various reasons
Eyes to be checked, ENT consultation will help to rule out if you have any septal deviation or Sinusitis
Get your BP checked
Constipation gives headache too
Get yourself well hydrated and increase Roughage in your diet.
Consult a Medical specialist first to know which direction to look for the cause.
Some more clues
Sleep schedule and discipline in going to bed at early hours and avoid visual jarry inputs after 8 pm
Take a break from Laptop /phone/computer every hour
Palming of the eye helps to address the problem

Question by K - Feb 06, 2024Hindi

Health

I am 68 year old retired person. Over all my health is ok and vital organs are functioning satisfactorily. One problem I am facing since last two years is whenever I sleep left side I get pain in the left side of the head. If unknowingly I sleep for hours together the pain migrtaes to left ear or even to other parts in left side. So I need to take pain relieving medicines in such cases. Earlier such cases used to be at larger intervels but now a days it is frequent. It also happens that some times I getup witha head ache(leftside).My BP is under control and is under medication. One doctor suggested consultation with neurologist.But before going to specialist I would get the opinion of a General physician if there is any medicine you can suggest.

Ans: Hello K,
This kind of pain could be related to muscle knots on left side of the neck. It is called as trigger points in the sternocleidomastoid or scalene muscle. If you can first visit a physiotherapist who does techniques like dry needling, cupping, myofascial release it may help you a lot.
We have had patients with similar issues and withing 5-6 sessions they are completely fine now.
Please read about sternocleidomastoid/scalene/trapezius trigger points and you will understand better.
All the best!

My nerves c4 to c7 are narrowing due to which I feel headache, neck pain and dizziness all the time. Pl advise me best treatment to heal this problem

Ans: Thank you for reaching out. It appears that you may be displaying symptoms associated with cervical spinal stenosis, a condition characterized by the narrowing of the spinal canal in the neck area. It's crucial to seek guidance from a skilled medical professional, such as a neurologist or orthopedic surgeon, who can offer a thorough diagnosis and develop a treatment regimen tailored to your individual needs. A physical therapist can create a personalized exercise regimen aimed at strengthening the muscles that support the spine, increasing flexibility, and promoting better posture. Additionally, physical therapy may incorporate manual techniques to relieve discomfort and enhance mobility. Wishing you Happy Recovery

I was duped of some 8L rs by fraudster and had completed the legal process where in court has ordered indusind bank and bank of Maharashtra to refund me money which is held by them..it been more than month since order was issued still no update is available from bank regarding credit back of the amount in my account.what next I should do..

Ans: Hello;

Send a reminder notice to the banks seeking time bound implementation of the Court order.

Either they may be preparing to appeal against the lower court order or it may be just a case of procedural delay.

Await their feedback before escalating to the court.

Money

My loans have crossed 40 lakhs and i dont have job. I dont know what should i do as i do not have any money to pay back. I am taking loans to repay interest for old loans.

Ans: Hello;

Sell some of your asset like land, gold or vehicle to repay the loan on priority.

Don't borrow to repay existing loans. Restructure the loans or seek a moratorium till you get a job.

Borrow funds from family and friends explaining your mistakes and promise to repay once you get another job.

Keep in mind the old saying to cut your cloth as per your size and act accordingly.
