Starting to get Concerned

[southernbelleinoregon91]

Hi. I am 17 and have been having progressively worsening symptoms. i am on no medications: multiple headaches every day (mainly in the parietal region and behind my eyes), my ears ring along with a hearing symptom (the best i can explain it is: i can hear people when they talk but i cant understand what they are saying, it just sounds like gibberish/mumbling) that symptom is not all the time but enough to be worrisome and quite annoying. additional symptoms: confusion, insomnia (falling and staying asleep), memory loss (lots of misplacing things, forgetting what i was talking about in the middle of a sentence), sometimes ihave blurry vision, i also have quite of few times where i "cant talk." it seems like i no what i want to say but i cant actually say it, plus while talking i am "stumbling" alot, there has also been some dizziness along with some fatigue. one more symptom (i woke up in the middle of the night a couple days ago and my right side i believe was "twitching" and shoulder was contracting.) also, been gettin "shaky"

hope i described it enough...thanks

Hi,
The most probable cause of all the symptoms that you have described could be multiple sclerosis. It is a demyelinating disease which affects the nerves, causing muscle stiffness, fatigue, sleeplessness, loss of memory, confusion, muscle twitches, blurred vision, ringing in the ears and a lot of other symptoms. Please go for MRI of the brain and spine and consult a neurologist for the diagnosis and management of the symptoms.  A series of MRI and lumbar puncture may be required to diagnose the disease. Hope this helps you. Take care and regards!

Man that could be anything. Try narrowing it down  by talking to your doctor or lokoing online at things. Cuod be stress if you live a normal  life. Could be not eating right foods/not workout... Try meditating and figuring out where you are in life, cause headches come easily if you think about something you dont want to. i have ringing in my ears most ht etime too, and i think it affects my social life. I use relaxation techiques plus really putting myself out of my comfort zone and trying to get healthy by eating and working out and if your chrsitian, try prayer.
