I have had positional headaches for 16 days, which are worse when standing and relieved when lying down. The CT scan shows sagging of the brain, suggesting a CSF leak, but my doctor wants to treat it as migraines. I have a history of migraines and visual migraines, but nothing like this. I've tried Tylenol, Advil, and a steroid dose pack, but they haven't helped. I'm also experiencing mild deafening in my ears when upright for too long, mild nausea with headaches, and high blood pressure since the headaches started. Where should I start for treatment?

I got my lab results back and they show I have low MCV, MCH, MCHC, and high RBC, with a low A/G ratio. Everything else was normal. My doctor never explained what this means. How long have you had CMV? How old are you? Are you currently using any medications? Anything else in your medical history you think the Doctor should know?

I have had chronic pain/cramping on the left side of my body for five years. It is intermittent and seems to be related to my spine, radiating from my neck to my butt and occasionally to my foot or ear. I've had ultrasounds that showed no issues with my abdominal organs, and I had breast implants a month before the pain started. Could this be related to a spinal/muscle issue, a pinched nerve, or something else?

I have been losing my voice intermittently since March. I am 38 years old, not on any medications, and work on the phone from 6:00 AM to 6:00 PM. I suspect something might be wrong with my throat. What could be causing this and what are the treatment options?

I was driving and got exposed to intense UV rays around midday, resulting in a dark spot on my lower lip that has since grown in circumference. The hyperpigmentation has now spread to other parts of my lower lip and seems to worsen with the consumption of iron-rich foods like spinach. I've tried various lip balms and home remedies without success. What can I do to address this issue, considering hydroquinone is not available in my country?

My daughter has nasal speech due to a cleft palate with no lip. She had undergone Furlow Z-plasty but still has a gap at the back of her throat. What should be the next step?
