Can you stent a left posterior cerebral artery that is 90% blocked? I have left-sided head pain, blurry vision, memory issues, difficulty finding words, and fatigue. I was previously diagnosed with IIH. What happens when someone has a 90% block in that artery? What medication treats it? Are blood thinners enough? Can I show you a picture of where it's blocked? What happens if I have a tiny distal artery allowing some blood flow? Will my memory problems or the brain fog I'm feeling get any better? Does a blocked artery cause intracranial hypertension? Do I have to worry about this being fatal? How much will the medications reduce the blockage or can it? What causes this kind of blockage? Can this cause severe pain in arms and legs? What does thrombotic state mean? What actually treats the headache pain? Can you tell me what segment thatās blocked in?

I have had burning sensations in different parts of my body (specifically hands but can change throughout the day to arms and legs), hotness in my head, strong headaches at times, and fatigue. I do not have a fever nor am I COVID-19 positive (Iāve tested 3 times to negative tests between when the symptoms started and yesterday). Can it be a virus other than COVID-19?

I have an eating disorder which tends to cause GI issues. I experienced anal itching, diarrhea that was darker green with yellow mucus, mild cramps, and slight lower back ache. My dog also got sick, and I ate blueberries and strawberries that morning. I'm worried about parasites or more serious issues like liver or kidney problems. What could be causing these symptoms?

I'm having dizzy spells where I feel like I'm going to pass out and have to sit down, especially when I look down or move my neck a certain way. I had this once several months ago and again this morning. I'm 67 years old, female, and taking blood pressure and cholesterol medications. What could be causing this and what should I do?

Do you help with medication calculations? The patient has an infusion running with a standardized drug concentration of 600mg in a total volume of 100mL of 0.9% Sodium Chloride. The infusion is running at 3.0mL/hr. The patient weighs 90kg. How many micrograms/kg/min is the patient receiving?
