The symptoms described for the 48-year-old individual, including dizziness, temporary darkness in front of the eyes, and an episode of falling, coupled with a retinal condition involving water (which might be indicative of some form of retinopathy or macular edema), suggest several potential medical conditions that need to be thoroughly evaluated by healthcare professionals. It's important to note that without a complete medical examination, including history, physical examination, and appropriate diagnostic tests, it's impossible to diagnose the condition accurately. However, I can provide some possibilities: orthostatic hypotension: this is a form of low blood pressure that happens when you stand up from sitting or lying down. It can cause dizziness and fainting. Vestibular disorders: issues with the inner ear and balance mechanisms can cause dizziness and a sensation of the environment spinning or moving. Transient ischemic attack (tia) or minor stroke: temporary blockage of blood flow to the brain can cause symptoms like dizziness, vision changes, and balance problems. Cardiac conditions: irregular heart rhythms or other heart issues can lead to reduced blood flow to the brain, causing dizziness and fainting. Retinal conditions: the mentioned 'water in retina' condition could be central serous retinopathy or another form of retinal detachment or edema. These can cause visual symptoms, but they are usually not directly associated with dizziness unless there's a broader underlying condition. Neurological disorders: various neurological issues can lead to dizziness and vision problems. Dehydration or electrolyte imbalance: sometimes, dehydration or imbalances in electrolytes can cause these symptoms. Anxiety or panic attacks: these can also manifest physically with symptoms like dizziness and altered vision, though they are typically accompanied by feelings of extreme anxiety. Given the recurrent nature of these episodes and the seriousness of potential underlying causes, it's crucial for this individual to seek further medical evaluation. This should ideally include a thorough cardiovascular examination, neurological assessment, and potentially, a referral to an ophthalmologist for the retinal issue. Diagnostic tests might include blood tests, ecg, echocardiogram, holter monitoring, mri or ct scan of the brain, and a detailed eye examination.

Hello- the causes of impotence varies. Erections result from a complex combination of brain stimuli, hormonal actions, and blood vessel and nerve functions. Any interference with with these factors can lead to impotence. Other contributing causes of impotency include alcohol, cigarettes, arteriosclerosis, sexually transmitted diseases, high blood pressure, hormonal imbalances (such as low levels of thyroid hormones) or abusive masturbation. In some instances, impotence results from the lack of sexual desire. This cause may be linked to the loss of attraction to a partner, but it can also result from depression, illness or medications. There are over 200 drugs that may cause impotence. Some of the most common are antidepressants, antihistamines, antihypertensives, blood-pressure medication, cancer chemotherapy, diuretics, narcotics, nicotine, sedatives, steroids, stomach acid inhibitors and ulcer medications. Fortunately, ayurveda has an answer to it irrespective of its cause.

Hi. I would suggest you visit your physician and check on the drug interactions. Pain killers and anti-anxiety pills can be addictive and you may develop tolerance. Additionally, you can experience deleterious side-effects. As mentioned earlier, psychotherapy can be helpful. The side effects you are experiencing can be worsened by an underlying disorder. For example, pain, sleep problems, fatigue, brain fog etc. Can signal anxiety. Emdr is known to be helpful for pain management and intense psychological distress. Relaxation techniques for your muscles which are in pain can mitigate these symptoms. Routine management and scheduling yoru activities can go a long way as well. Do let me know if you wish to talk.

A prolactin (prl) test measures how much of a hormone called prolactin you have in your blood. The hormone is made in your pituitary gland, which is located just below your brain. When women are pregnant or have just given birth, their prolactin levels increase so they can make breast milk. But it’s possible to have high prolactin levels if you’re not pregnant, and even if you’re a man. Normally, men and nonpregnant women have just small traces of prolactin in their blood. When you have high levels, this could be caused by: prolactinoma (a benign tumor in your pituitary gland that produces too much prolactin) diseases affecting the hypothalamus (the part of the brain that controls the pituitary gland) anorexia (an eating disorder) drugs that are used to treat depression, psychosis, and high blood pressure chest injury or irritation (for example, scars, shingles, or even a bra that’s too tight) also, kidney disease, liver failure, and polycystic ovarian syndrome (a hormone imbalance that affects ovaries) all can affect the body’s ability to remove prolactin. You don’t need to make any special preparations for a prolactin test. You will get a blood sample taken at a lab or a hospital. A lab worker will insert a needle into a vein in your arm to take out a small amount of blood
