Question 1

is it possible for your eyes to fall back into your head?

Accepted Answer

Not at all: The eyes sit in the eye socket (orbit), which has a cone shape formed by the skull bones. The tip of the cone points back toward the brain and has a hole that is much smaller than the eyeball. Also, the eye is tethered in place by muscles, so it cannot fall into the head. Trauma to the face can break the bones in the floor of the orbit and the eye can sink down a little, but it cannot fall back.

Question 2

eveytime i fall asleep, i usually wake up 5 minutes later because i feel as i blackout and my eyes roll to the back of my head. my head now hurts.?

Accepted Answer

Sleep disorder: You may be experiencing episodic sleep apnea, but i would wonder if there is some seizure activity.  Do believe you should see a sleep specialist and undergo an overnight sleep study.  If indeed you have sleep apnea, and a clue might be snoring, you could benefit from a c-pap unit.  Get all of this evaluated, you will be far more satisfied.

Question 3

im 22 years old.and i have smoking habbit before 6 months back.and now when i sad or too much hurt that time i feel like breathing problem and head ache and suddenly i am fall down and shivering, eyes going upword .. why?is it serious.?

Accepted Answer

: Yes, it can be serious as your description suggests seizures among others. Seeing your doc or a neurologist would be recommended. Do not drive or operate heavy machinery until cleared.

Question 4

before my period feel major neck back head pain, eyes hurt feel panicky. i can barely move my neck and i'm dizzy can't fall asleep feel electricity?

Accepted Answer

See ophthalmologist: You need to have a detailed ophthalmology exam.  This may be due to other reasons.

Question 5

odd spinning sensation in head mostly at night when i'm sitting or in bed sometimes. as if i'm going to fall back. ent said all ok.  is this anxiety?

Accepted Answer

Spinning sensation: Glad you saw an ENT and that he/she said you are ok medically.  Yes, anxiety can produce these symptoms.  Continue to have your doctor monitor you and please see a mental health professional who can teach you some anxiety management skills.  Peace and good health.

Question 6

i have blood shot eye after as fall hitting the back of head?

Accepted Answer

Can you see normally: Trauma to the head can cause some bleeding at the eye even if the eye is not actually hit.  if you can see normally, the blood shot appearance can clear on it's own.

Question 7

62 years old. i am waking up many times at night and at least once a night i can't fall back to sleep for one or 2 hours after that. skin crawling?

Accepted Answer

See a doctor: Your symptoms do not seem to be issues that should be ignored.  I would see your dr. Asap for potential tests and history.

Question 8

how effective / successful are hair restoration procedures for men (planting hair in the scalp, etc.)?  won't the hair just fall back out later?

Accepted Answer

Works well.: Hair transplantation is very effective when done properly, and the "new" hair is permanent - it will not fall out if it was done well and the hair was harvested from a health donor site. But it needs to be done properly, by someone who does lots of them, not one a month at a nationwide "chain." find someone with a transplant that looks great, and ask him who did his.

Question 9

lets say i start rogaine (minoxidil) and my hair comes back. if i stop it will it all fall back out? i heard that you can loose more hair than before.

Accepted Answer

NO: You heard wrong. At age 22 there may be some other factor in your hair change such as meds, pregnancy, birth control, PCOS, etc. See a dermatologist.

Question 10

fall onto hard kitchen floor over week ago on my left side caused black eye, have now increased  pain under right rib wall, radiating to middle back.

Accepted Answer

Get examined by Dr.!: You might even need an xray to make sure you haven't fractured a rib during your trauma. Plus, you need to be seen by the eye doctor to make sure you didn't cause injury to your eye, or have an eye fracture. This has to be seen in person. The rib connects from the spine (mid back?)to the sternum, depending on the Rib #. So get seen soon, and get relief!
