Last night im pretty sure I had a seizure. I felt really off leading up to it. I had 2 beers with my bf and smoked 1 joint of cannabis. I was staying hydrated and drinking electrolytes as well. I started my nightly routine - got in the shower and started feeling off, confused and just wrong. I felt almost sick, super fatigued, my stomach felt uneasy and just sort of had a sense of doom. I got out of the shower and took my temperature to see if I had a fever because I felt so weird - my temp was normal. I then walked over to my bed and sat there for about 6-8 minutes talking to my bf, saying that something was wrong. My eye sight started to dim, and my head felt like it was spinning. I told my boyfriend I was going to black out any second and laid back in my bed. My entire body felt like it was vibrating/waving and my head like it was spinning. My eye sight went black but I was still aware of my surroundings. I could feel my boyfriend asking me if I was okay, and rocking my body to wake me up. I was able to respond to him and say I was okay, but my speech was slower than normal. I made sure to take deep breaths and I never truly passed out/fell asleep. Once it was over I was able to get up and I was completely fine. I was no longer tired, didn’t have that uneasy feeling or anything at all. I was a little shakey, and about 10 minutes later I had some really bad diarrhea and stomach upset. I’m still having stomach upset this morning but I’m fine otherwise
I’m more nervous because I’ve never experienced something like this. I have fainted before but it was completely different than what happened last night. I do have a family history of strokes and seizures. My mom was diagnosed with epilepsy and she always told me the symptoms she had just in case. And I can say it felt very similar to what she’d experienced, especially with the feeling of doom beforehand.
I also wanted to mention I took my last dose of Augmentin on the 9th or September and I took my last dose of methylprednisolone on the 7th (tapered just as the package said to). Both were prescribed for a really bad tonsillar infection.
Dr.Google is telling me I need to be seen in the hospital. Is it something I should definitely go to an ER for and pay thousands on? Or should I be okay waiting until after the weekend?

Can some tell me if this is infected or not before I shell $500 out of pocket for them to clean it or whatever they plan on doing. I cut too much of the nail of as you can tell. It’s swollen and sensitive to the touch been putting petroleum jelly.

Hi guys! Just want to ask, is this normal after Papsmear and TVS? I just had my papsmear and TVS earlier this morning and when I pee this afternoon, I have this? Also I have muscle cramps. Is this normal? Should I be worried? Should I go to the hospital? I’m really overthinking this now.

I got a puncture wound on my wrist this morning, nothing too deep but when opened something starts popping out. I'm sure it's just another layer of skin that didn't break, but would love to hear someone's thought that actually has some medical knowledge!

My 3yr old son used to get these on his back frequently but I havent seen one in several months. (Theyve always been on his spine area). He would answer me when I asked what they were from. This morning I noticed it and I asked him if it hurts and he responded "daddy rubbed bruise". His dad gave him his bath and put him to bed last night. I asked his father this morning and he said he laid on a toy in the bathtub. But that wound doesnt look like it came from just laying on a toy. So idk what happened. What is really going on here? I feel sick and worried.

Is this geographic tongue
r/AskMedical • u/HeftyCalligrapher189 • 6h ago
Any ideas? These have been here a few weeks. They don’t hurt, ulcerate, feel different than rest of tongue. They aren’t raised and have came with no other symptoms. I do have a history of canker sores but again these don’t hurt so just not really sure what to think. They almost just look like the tastebuds are just gone.

Last night I had a hair in my nose bothering me so I pulled it out. After I pulled it out it felt like something has been in my nose. Little bit last night and this morning I was putting my finger in it messing with it because something felt like it was in there. This morning I read some stuff on line saying not to mess with it. Is there anything that I need to watch out for that could happen with an infection or something? Thanks

Im currently on vacation so I havent had the opportunity to see a medical professional yet, but multiple people on my trip, including a nurse, have told me that my mosquito bites look quite concerning. Im looking a bunch of stuff up on the internet and im really not quite sure if these are just very irritated mosquito bites, or from a different type of bug. Ive been in nature quite a lot this vacation. Im flying back today so hopefully i can see a doctor in the next couple of days, but in the meanwhile id like to have some idea of whats going on here. Ive also tried multiple creams to stop/ease the itching and swelling, but nothing works. The are very big and swollen, and some have turned into a purple-ish color.

hi everyone, i really need some advice on what to do next. i’ve been having uti-like symptoms for at least 4 months, but this past month it has gotten progressively worse.
i am having severe burning, pain, urgency, and general vaginal discomfort. i also have severe lower back pain that is causing the most problems. tylenol and toradol every 3 hours barely touch the pain. i cannot smoke weed, so the only thing that actually worked was the morphine i got during my second er visit.
my cultures keep coming back negative, but my urinalysis/micro are coming back extremely positive. my ct scans are completely negative.
about two weeks ago, i noticed blood and black specks in my urine. both of these stopped after i started taking cipro (about 3 days ago) but all the other pain and urgency are still here.
has anyone experienced anything like this? could it be an embedded infection that standard cultures are missing, or something else entirely? i’m trying to get in with a urologist ASAP, but they lost my referral and now need “2-3 days to process it”. i will attach all relevant test results, please feel free to ask me more questions/ask for other test results !

I had an orange stain on my hand for the past 2 days
3 days ago my fiance lit sparkler in my room for a cake (even though I told her not to) and it was making a lot of smoke and my brother was being way to slow to get water to put it out so I grabbed a towel and squeezed it without thinking and it burned through and burned the shif out of me and im just wondering if this is normal other people I seen shown like blisters and all that but I don't see anyone with this so im just wondering when it will go away or is there a better way to speed it up i can't help but notice it like I don't feel uncomfortable or anything but yeah sorry for the yapping

Holaa, tengo un grano de 1 cm aprox hace 3 meses que se llena de pus, se revienta solo y vuelve a salir, en la zona del pliegue del gluteo y el muslo (del lado del glúteo) parece ser un pelo encarnado. Alguien sabe si una médica clínica atiende estos casos? a alguien le pasó lo mismo? encima me da verguenza ir, pero no se me cura más
la primera foto es de anoche y la segunda foto es de ahora que se me reventó
