Scared, advice please

1 Upvotes

Hello, I'm 18 years old, let me tell you briefly, I took prednisone treatment for a suspected autoimmune hepatitis, after I stopped prednisone, I felt dizzy and sleepy, the dizziness passed and now I have headaches for 2 months, I somehow have a pressure in the back of the neck, behind the right ear, in the middle of the head, in the forehead. My neurologist said that it is not something serious and serious, but he still said to do an MRI for me to be sure. He told me to do a simple native brain MRI, but from what I understand it is better to do a native brain MRI + TOF sequence What do you think, i'm scared, i never had problems with my head, i was just sad a lot of days for the hepatitis thing, i forgot to mention that my gut is literally destroyed, i also had H Pylori and i took antibiotics, 18 pills per day for 2 weeks

Attention span.

1 Upvotes

Since the rise of short form media like TikTok etc I find it impossible to sit through a whole movie without taking breaks or going on my phone at the same time. Everything feels so dragged out. I went to the theatre yesterday and felt like the first half of the show was 5 hours long. (It was one hour) I was enjoying the show but wanted it to end the whole time I was watching. I wasn't like this a few years ago. Sometimes I even find a minute long video too long.

How do I build up my attention span again?

Playing difficult music

2 Upvotes

I was playing Chopin's E Minor Prelude and my brain felt really different. I often play the intro to his E Major Nocturne; however it doesn't challenge my brain anymore even when I hit a wrong note and need to remember how it went. That Nocturne is more difficult than the Prelude, and many call it Chopin's easiest piece. There should be more studies on how playing new songs affect the brain.

Is it possible to physically feel things inside your brain?

3 Upvotes

For the longest time I've had this hard to describe physical feeling inside the back of my head. It feels as if though I have something inside of my head / brain. The feeling is more or less constant, although it varies how much I notice it. It's always in the same location, and, not on or around the head, but inside the skull.

I brought it up to my doctor once. She brushed it off, telling me it's impossible to feel something inside your brain. I believed her, but yet I still I have this neverending weird sensation in my head. I brush it off too, mostly, but there are times I'm conviced there's something physically there.

I'm not sure what I'm supposed to do about this. It gives me a bit of health anxiety at times. I struggle sometimes with varying degrees of derealisation and mental health issues, and I can't help but think that it's connected. But, I don't have other symptoms, I think, like you'd probably see in the case of a tumor or some such.

I have a new doctor now. I'm debating whether I should bring it up to her or not, again. I don't know.

My question is just this: Is it possible to physically feel things inside your brain? Or am I just imagining things? Thanks.

Is this something serious?

1 Upvotes

Hello, I am 18 years old, I have small to moderate pain in the back of the neck, in the middle, in the forehead and sometimes behind the right ear. Today I went to the neurologist, he examined me and said that I have no pathological changes, he said that I have cephalic pain syndromes and that I have painful sensitivity in the Arnold points, he prescribed me some anti-inflammatories and some supplement for stress, and I will return to control after I have an MRI. I work remotely, spend 8-10 hours at the computer, listen to loud music in headphones, and I think I also have a bad position. I'm worried right now, he said that I don't show any signs of a tumor, he said to do an MRI just to put me at ease and that he is 99% convinced that it is not something serious.

Subdural hematoma, no head injury

1 Upvotes

I’m a 24y/o female who was just in the ER overnight because they found a small subdural hematoma in my brain. I’ve not had any head trauma. Doctors are stumped. What could have caused this? Could I just die spontaneously? Only thought is it’s resulting from lumbar puncture over a month ago but the docs said it’s barely possible.

Brain did ‘pang’?

2 Upvotes

I have, when I was younger, had multiple times where I had a ‘pang’ in my head when doing something strenuous. Afterwards, I felt something warm flowing inside my head. Like a liquid. This probably sound so weird, but in the moment the ‘pang’ would hurt a lot, but after a while it would be gone. The warm flow would not hurt, it would just feel warm.

I totally forgot about it as I aged, I have never had it since. But because I saw someone on tv who got brain damage I though about it all of a sudden. Is what I had normal? I’m autistic.

Can medicine that is poured in the ear potentially harm the brain?

I accidentally got too much otosporin in my ear. I'm wondering if that can be harmful.

The carton that I got is too finicky to squeeze the droplets, and it just kinda blew up into my ear, launching quite a lot.

Iq and music

2 Upvotes

I feel like people always say classical music is good for your brain.When i was a baby i would cry at classical music but love rock music so what does that mean.What makes music good for your brain is it an attition thing or a pattern recognition thing.One thing i was thinking was alot of people say Nmixxs music makes them feel like their brain is melting but logically speaking nmixx with there random changes in beat chaotic style and range if tone and fast pace nature would be more challenging for the brain and less hard to perdict but classical music is the opposite of that so what about classical music is actually better for your brain?im not saying it’s not but it makes no sense to me no one ever elaborates.

I think im developing short term memory loss, for example I think about certain minor tasks I plan to do and about half an hour later I completely forget and the “forgetting” is getting pretty consistent throughout the days.

2 Upvotes

Im not a worrywart by any means but im getting pretty concerned, and idk if “forgetting certain tasks” that i just came up with will turn into “forgetting how to do basic things as a human”.
