Any ideas what may be wrong with my Gram?!
Question: Any ideas what may be wrong with my Gram.?
Doctor tells her its sinus infection. Haven't done blood or any interest in it. Just keep giving different or more antibiotics. Been going on for 4 weeks. One sided headache over the eye, tingling, electricity like sensation around tender eye. Nasseau, weakness, and extreme exhaustion, falls asleep just sitting. Has never had a cold in years. No congestion yet the Dr. treated like sinus infection. Treatment does nothing after weeks. Has good days and bad days. Any ideas. I thought lyme disease - which they haven't done any blood on, but she has no fever or swollen lymph nodes (like my son did with his lyme). Health Question & Answer
Answers:
Just remember anything that involves tingling, electricity like sensation could be nerve related. I would have her get another opinion and someone that will do a work up on her instead of sending her home with a/b's. The nausea and weakness along with extreme exhaustion and tingling are good enough reason to see someone else. Check her insurance to see if she needs a referral to a specialist or perhaps she can just get an appt with a neurologist. Hope this helps.Health Question & Answer
Her symptoms look like they could be neurological - possibly lesions or tumor in the brain. It might be a good idea to get an MRI of her head - that will show any sinus problems or issues in the brain. Health Question & Answer

My mom was sick this time last year, kept telling her it was a virus, gave her the whole antibiotic treaments, etc., she didn't get better. Months went by, no improvement. Then her blood pressure got out of control, she had a stroke, and then she died in January. Turns out her pacemaker wasn't working well.
She was 74. Please, please try to find a specialist.
I wish you the best, truly!!Health Question & Answer
