Can Drilling In Brain And Heart Murmur Be Signs Of STD?
I got a question at night when I sleep sometimes it feels like someone is drilling in the inside of my brain no major or critical pain but it just vibrates enough for me to wake up does that have anything to do with siphillis or neurosiphillis? mind you I have no symptoms I am aware but on that stood out to me was the rapid heart beat I had a minor heart murmur I did test but it wasn t critical but I haven t taken a std test before could any of these be signs of that std?

Hi and welcome to HCM. Thanks for the query.
Well sifilis is not the first thing to think of as many other possible causes are more common and you should see neurologist to find the exact problem. you need to do head scanning. Sifilis is rare today,especially neurosifilis and you would have some other symptoms before brain is involved,but you shoud do std testing if you suspect of unprotected sexual intercourse.
Wish you good health. Regards
