Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

I have heart problems, heart murmur, epileptic seizures, and I am suffering from a severe concussion from traumatic brain injury. I have severe dental issues, the majority of my teeth are broken within the gums, rest decaying, abscessed, and swelling in my face and forehead. And I have dizziness, fainting, seizures, tremors, and blurred vision.

I have tightness in my face, jaw, and head as well as an extreme sense of pressure in my face and head also. I am currently under Depakote for epilepsy, Ibuprofen 800 for teeth as needed, and Penicillin.

What should I do? Please help me.

Thank you.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I read your query and understand your concern.

I suggest you consult a cardiologist to show all symptoms of the heart soon. Get a prescription from him and then visit a dentist near your place and show him all the medical conditions and explain to him about your face and mouth problems. He will first ask you to take the required medication and then will appoint you for further treatment after a week or more.I suggest you do the following:

  1. Do a full mouth scaling.

  2. Do not add salt to your food.

  3. Avoid coffee.

  4. Eat garlic for a good heart.

  5. Exercise and do yoga.

  6. Get your blood pressure and sugar checked.

  7. Do not open your mouth too widely.

  8. Do not press your teeth.

  9. Do not close your jaw too tightly.

  10. If you have a teeth-grinding habit then quit it soon.

  11. Take a meditation class.

  12. Do not drink alcohol and do not smoke.

  13. Eat fibrous food.

Wish you good health and happiness. Keep me updated with the improvements.

Thank you.

Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
