Hi,
The symptoms you describe could be related to several conditions, and it's important to seek medical attention as soon as possible to determine the underlying cause. Headaches and blurred vision could be a sign of increased intracranial pressure, while stomach sickness could be due to a gastrointestinal issue. In addition, involuntary movements could be indicative of a neurological disorder.
As a prostate cancer survivor, it's also possible that these symptoms may be related to cancer or its treatment. For example, radiation therapy can cause inflammation and swelling in the brain, leading to headaches and vision problems. Additionally, hormone therapy used to treat prostate cancer can cause gastrointestinal issues and other side effects.
It's important to talk to your doctor about these symptoms to determine the underlying cause and appropriate treatment. They may recommend imaging tests such as a CT scan or MRI to evaluate the brain, as well as blood tests to check for any hormonal imbalances. Depending on the cause, treatment options may include medication, lifestyle changes, or further medical interventions.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Priyanka, General & Family Physician
