Hi there. Causes of dizziness need to be looked for. These are low or high blood pressure, anemia, heart attack, arrhythmias, strokes, headaches, migraines, dehydration and blood electrolyte changes.

Are neurological symptoms (tingling in hands, feet, arms, legs, sunburned feeling on skin even though skin is not burned, etc.) common after pregnancy? Mine started at 7 weeks post partum and have lasted approx. 5 weeks to date. I have experienced postpartum anxiety/some depression. Anti-depressants (Klonopin and Celexa) have helped alleviate some of these symptoms, but not completely.
These could be related to a common cause located at the spinal levels or due to local neurological/ vascular causes. I would suggest getting this evaluated by an orthopedician or a neurologist for an accurate diagnosis and appropriate management.
Hope this is helpful.
Take care!

MS also causes depression and anxiety is two ways. First is in the brain itself. The lesions in the brain or inflammation cause the emotions to be affected.

Hi and welcome,
I would think the newer symptoms are more likely to be related to a urinary tract infection (UTI) due to the higher risk of UTI's with an indwelling catheter but it could also be related to migraine, although neither would explain why your experiencing bladder retention in the first place...
Hi there. There are certain causes responsible for muscle twitching like diet deficiency, drug overdose, and side effects of diuretics, corticosteroids, estrogens, exercise, benign twitches, and nervous system conditions like amyotrophic lateral sclerosis or ALS, muscle dystrophy, spinal muscular atrophy and myopathy. Your neurologist needs to look into these conditions one by one. The other possible cause could be multiple sclerosis and is a diagnosis of exclusion.

An ophthalmologist’s examination of the eye is required to rule out local pathology and an otolaryngologist needs to check you for tinnitus.

The various causes of blurred and double vision are cataracts, macular degeneration, damage to muscles and nerves in the eye which can be caused by thyroid problems, multiple sclerosis, strokes, high blood pressure, and diabetes. Diabetes can also cause these symptoms by diabetic retinopathy. Consult an ophthalmologist for eyes evaluation.
