Suggest Remedy For Sweating Headache & Loss Of Balance

I slept for nearly 20 hours yesterday and am still exhausted. While I slept I'd wake up from time to time drenched in sweat. I'd also get chills. I've had a headache that is locallized to the back right side of my head. I am having difficulty with balance as well.

Hi, welcome to our site. I am Dr Saumya Mittal, MD.

Read your query. That is a very significant question and i appreciate your problem. I will try my best to answer your query

If you had mild fever, I would have thought about the possibility of meningoencephalitis very strongly. It is still a probable possibility and I would really suggest that you go for a CT scan or better still an MRI brain. These two will help us know if there is a meningitis or possibly another infection/condition that is affecting the brain.

The onset of these recently will probably rule out more benign conditions like migraine. Unless the neuroradioimaging comes out negative, I will certainly consider the infections and mass lesions as a strong possibility causing these symptoms.

The other non neurological syndromes may be considered after the neuroradioimaging turns out to be normal like spondylosis, sinusitis, migraine, arrhythmia, myocardial infarction.

In view of the latter 2 daignosis, I would suggest an ecg and echocardiography as well.

So do get a neuroradioimaging and the heart examinations

I hope this helps you. Inform the reports mentioned above/if any other so I can be of help further.

I have given you the answer to the maximum considering the information provided. The results of the tests could further enhance my answer to you.

Please do understand that some details could be extracted from a detailed history and examination.

Please feel free to ask another query. I would be glad to help you. Looking forward to your return query with the details asked so that I can help you further.
