पिछले 10 दिनों से चक्कर आ रहा है। हर समय लगता है दिमाग घूम रहा है। कभी कभी बहूत ज्यादा हो जाता है। पास के डॉक्टर को दिखाया उन्होंने इसे दिमाग का कमजोर होना या डिप्रेशन बताकर ये दवा दी है। पहले 3 दिन फिर 5 और दिन फिर इसे दस दिन के लिए बाधा दिया। साथ में मल्टीविटामिन की टेबलेट भी। क्या यह किसी गंभीर बीमारी का लक्षण है? और इस समय किस प्रकार का उपचार ले?कृपया सहायता कर एक पुरानी समस्या रही है वो पेट रेगुलर साफ़ नही होता क्या उससे ये संभंधित हो सकता है?

Hi Desh..
If you are taking Dexona (dexamethasone) then if you believe me stop them immediately.. it is a steroid and have many side effects... it harms you more than it benefit..
And the best treatment is homoeoapthic... but consult with more details for proper treatment..
And also before consulting just consult a neurophysician to have the diagnosis of the vertigo....

Taken 6 dexona steroid injection during covid treatment. I wanted to know till how many days this steroid stays in human body?

B.Krishna Kanth

General Physician•Visakhapatnam

The half life of dexamethasone is 36 to 72 hours, it usually takes around 5 half lives for a drug to be completely eliminated from your system. So, it would be around 15 days in this case.

I am 60 year old diagnosed by transverse myelitis from last 6 months. I lost my lower limbs sensations about 80%. now I am having only bp and blood thinning medication. So what to do now?

The standard of care for transverse myelitis includes: intravenous (iv — into the vein) corticosteroids such as methylprednisone or dexamethasone may be given to help decrease the swelling in the spinal cord. In some cases, prednisone, taken by mouth, is used for a period of time after the iv therapy is completed.

Health Query

I had fever from last two days. My doctor gave me dexona injection. And used it on me. But my another doctor told me that if I use dexona in fever, it can make me a polio patient. Dexona in fever can give you polio in legs or other organs? I'm too afraid from this. Please help.

Health Query

My eyes develop tears when reading and tears become more when am exposed to more light. A doctor gave Ocutob D Eye Drop and I got some relief. Currently the drug is over. Can I continue using the eye drop. Thanks.

Dr. Sajeev Kumar91%(40820 ratings)

C.S.C, D.C.H, M.B.B.S

Cardiologist•Alappuzha

You cannot continue using the eye drop.and Ocutob D Eye Drop is a combination of two medicines: Dexamethasone and Tobramycin. Dexamethasone is a steroid which blocks the production of certain chemical messengers (prostaglandins) that make the eye red, swollen and itchy. Tobramycin is an antibiotic. It stops bacterial growth in the eye by preventing the synthesis of essential proteins required by bacteria to carry out vital functions.

Gynaecologist•Jaipur

Yes it does go to breast milk
Dexamethasone does pass into breast milk, but low doses taken by the mother are unlikely to significantly affect a nursing baby.
Take drugs that are absolutely essential for your health and inform your treating doctor about breast feeding so that doses can be adjusted or drug withdrawn

Health Query

Many thyroid symptoms. In addition, tsh 2.7, ft4 1, t3ru 18. 5 nodules under 2 cm found. Cortisol pm was not high cortisol early am 22 zscore: 1.7 platelet ct: 454 mch: 26.5 calcium: 8.4 non-hdl: 144 hdl: cholesterol: 59 total cholesterol: 203 ldl cholesterol: 120 antibodies 1 - green I know some of these are borderline or low. But, I am tired of all these symptoms. They began after an accident I was in 6 years ago, after prednisone treatment and seemed to flare after steroidal shots due to 3 fractures in cervical spine. In the matter of a year I gained 90lbs. Even though I only stopped working out for a month after the accident and didn’t stop maintaining the low calorie intake 1200-1400 calories a day. By flaring I mean there was 6 months I could not stand on my feet and walk 10 ft without feeling fire in my calves which a doctor attributed to water retention. After that, I received the steroid shots in my cervical spine and experiences extreme inflammation. I was given meloxicam to take as the inflammation is worse at night. So much so I cannot sleep. Weight gain which with calorie intake of 1200, juicing, and keto does’t help. I’m even add med that is suppose to help for weight loss as well which my doctor was hopeful for me to try but, does’t do much but help me focus which is still a good thing. I exercise 5 days cardio and weight intervals for an hour. I currently keep carbs as low as possible. Rarely eat bread or anything with preservatives or sugar. I do have fresh fruit on occasion. On the days that I can I wake up very early. For the last 3 years until a switch to a bp indicated for heavy bleeding, I experienced major amenorrhea which was also left unexplained. This are the major incidents I can think of aside from the typical hypothyroid symptoms. Might I i benefit from hypothyroid treatment perhaps? Your opinion is appreciated. I’ve felt miserable for half of my youngest sons life and I need help.

Dear lybrate-user,
you probably do not have hypothyroidism as your symptoms are non specific and your free t4 and tsh are normal. Your weight gain is probably related to the total cessation of physical activity after 6 months and the steroid injections but now that you are not on steroids that does not explain why you remain so overweight. The 8 am cortisol of 22 ug/dl is just above normal. You need to do a dexamethasone suppression test to rule out over-activity of adrenal glands. You need ...more
