Question 4

Accepted Answer

Sinus: Common for cold virus to cause sinus congestion and this can lead to a sinus infection.  Typically symptoms can be alleviated and resolved with decongestant and frequent nasal saline washes. If the problem persists and you develop a fever then an antibiotic can help. If necessary you could connect with one of the HealthTap physicians if that therapy would be indicated.

Question 5

Accepted Answer

Possibly: There can be a link with antidepressants and weight gain.  However, there is also a link with depression and weight gain.  It is possible that your depression is not fully treated.   It is also possible you have something else going on and should speak with your primary care md about this.

Question 6

hi. i have been taking 16mg betahistine 3 times a day for 4 days now and seem to be getting quite bad headaches around an hour after taking them. ?

Accepted Answer

Stop it: You get adverse reaction from a drug, it is a warning that you should not be taking it.  If you are taking it for nasal congestion from an allergy,  a nasal steroid will likely be more effective without the potential side effects of betahistine.

Question 7

bad headaches only when i am in the heat and sun. it happens everyday. i have to lay in a dark room. ive been wearing shades but its not helping

Accepted Answer

Can't be exact about: The cause of headaches because there are several major types, e.g., vascular, sinus, muscular, tension, etc.
Please see you doc so he/she can examine you and give you the proper treatment for the type of headache you have.  Biofeedback or clinical hypnosis (see www.asch.net for referrals) can be helpful. Peace and good health.

Question 8

for about a week now, when i touch (even gently) on the right side of my head or lay i get really bad headaches on just that side. its has gotten much worse and wakes me up a night and mornings are miserable. why is this?

Accepted Answer

: It is not feasible to provide a meaningful opinion without additional history, physical examination and may be some tests. It is unlikely at your age, but temporal arteritis needs to be excluded. Alternatively, it may be a form of migraine. It would be prudent to see a doctor. Wish you good health!

Question 9

i just started taking wellbutrin (bupropion) xr a week ago and am now suffering from bad headaches and dizziness. is this normal and will it go away? i feel awful

Accepted Answer

Wellbutrin (bupropion) and HAs?: Wellbutrin (bupropion) XL is an antidepressant. It is also marketed at zyban, and may be prescribed for smoking cessation. I'm glad to see you're getting treatment for your depression! Whenever you have a side effect you don't anticipate, it's always a good idea to give a call to your prescribing doc to discuss what exactly to do in your case, to have you feeling your best ASAP.

Question 10

i get really bad headaches what should i do?

Accepted Answer

See medical doctor: Severe headaches can be difficult to diagnose so visiting your medical doctor first is most important. If he can't determine the cause of your serious problem you may have muscle tension pain that needs to be corrected by a dentist.
