Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo, happens when tiny calcium crystals (otoconia) break free from a sac inside the ear and travel into nearby passageways, floating in the fluid there. When your head moves, the displaced crystals also move, interfering with nerve signals to the brain and causing that spinning sensation.
Treatment for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) depends on how much the symptoms are bothering a man. Sometimes lifestyle changes are enough to decrease symptoms, such as regular trips to the bathroom and not drinking fluids after dinner. Also ask if one of your medications could be making symptoms worse. Two types of medications are prescribed most commonly, one to relax the muscles around the prostate and urethra and the other to shrink the prostate. Several surgical procedures are available when necessary.
There is no direct relationship between gastric (stomach) problems or panic disorder and benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). However, anxiety could cause panic episodes, an upset stomach and make symptoms of BPH more pronounced. Some men who are nervous and tense urinate more frequently. Reducing anxiety and stress by exercising regularly and practicing relaxation techniques such as meditation can be very helpful.
Symptoms in these two conditions are not identical. For example, loss of smell and cough are more common among people with long COVID than with chronic fatigue syndrome (also known as myalgic encephalomyelitis).
However, there is a lot of overlap between symptoms of long COVID and chronic fatigue syndrome. For example, either condition may cause:
• difficulty concentrating, poor memory, “brain fog”
• muscle and joint aches
• severe fatigue
• anxiety and depression
• exercise intolerance or a worsening of symptoms after physical exertion
• symptoms that begin suddenly after a viral infection
The specific cause of these symptoms in these conditions and the optimal treatment remain uncertain.
Some of the best home remedies for a stiff neck include:

People with cerebral palsy have trouble with movement and using their muscles. The problem originates in the brain, and can be caused by many different things that affect the brain before or after birth, including prematurity, lack of oxygen, infection, injury and genetic factors.
Precancerous cells are abnormal cells that could turn into cancerous cells. Depending on the grade of the precancerous cells of the cervix, you may need to undergo treatments. In rare cases, these procedures can interfere with a patient’s ability to conceive, but women of childbearing age who still want to conceive are usually treated with the procedure that is least likely to have an impact on fertility.
Cloudy urine could be the result of inadequate cleaning of the opening of the urethra before urinating into the specimen container. Other causes include an infection of the bladder, kidney or urethra; kidney stones; acute kidney injury; or marked dehydration.
Epiphora is the medical term for excessive tear production, commonly called “watery eyes.” The excessive tears are not dangerous, but the reason it’s happening may be caused by something serious. There are many possible causes:
• Eye infections, such as viral conjunctivitis or the more serious bacterial or herpes eye infection
• Foreign object, which can lead to a corneal abrasion.
• Dry eyes. It sounds odd, but people with dry eyes often make excess ineffective tears in response to the dryness.
• Allergies.
• Colds, COVID, sinus infections.
• A blocked tear duct.
• Stye, chalazion, blepharitis (inflammation of the eyelids), ingrown eyelash.
There are so many reasons for abdominal pain. The best way to think about your pain is to ask yourself the following questions:
• Did the pain start abruptly in the past one to two hours, or has it been going on for a few days or even longer?
• Which part of the abdomen hurts the most, or does it hurt all over?
• Does the pain come and go, or is it steady?
• What is the quality of the pain: sharp, dull, burning?
• Does the pain stay localized, or does it move to the back or up into the chest?
• Are you having other symptoms, such as fever, chills, diarrhea?
By answering these questions, you can narrow down the possibilities.
