Suggest Treatment For Dry Throat, Nasal Dripping, Confusion And Headache

Posted on Tue, 23 Jun 2015

Question: I woke up in the middle of the night with the left side of my face felling funny, along with my throat being rather dry. I got up and went to the bathroom and blew my nose, but it was only my left side. Then today my pharmaisist recommended that I do pot drip though both nostrils, thinking something foreign may be in there. I did it twice and went on about my day today. Later this afternoon, I went to check on something and got very very confused, I thought everyone had changed their apartment numbers on a floor and I was on the wrong floor (Im a real estate broker in building). My collegues suggest that I lay down for a bit. I now have a slight headache on the right side and nasal dripping. I was also chilly while I was laying down but took my temp and it was normal. What should I do?

Detailed Answer:
I warmly Welcome you Mr. XXXX!

Thanks for consulting me at virtual clinic. I have carefully worked through your case, and I can realize your health worries. Being your physician, I assure you not to worry as I will take care all of your medical concerns.

It may be due to some nerve problem. Hyperhidrosis of the throat at the time of awakening, and all other symptoms, strongly suggest that you make an appointment in person with a neurologist. He will do a complete physical examination with some nerve tests on you. He may also go for some nerve and muscle conduction studies (or EEG). After all the data in hand he will be able to give conclusion and treat accordingly.

He may need to start aspirin and nerve regeneration medications on you, so please don't get late. Do it today, and now.
