Male | 47

Even if their routine blood and urine tests are normal and there happens to be just a swelling seen only in an MRI, definitely they should go for a neurologist. This calls for obtaining a diagnosis and treatment from a specialist to deter any complications that may arise.

Doctor I am a male of 45 year from Africa i feel this heaviness (dizziness) in the head and fatigue whenever i walk a little distance or engage in strenous work. I did ECG and ECHO2D tests. The doctor said nothing was wrong with my heart . I check my BP regularly. I am not hypertensive. I engage in regular fitness exercise . Yet this heaviness in the head and tiredness doesn't want to stop. I need your urgent reply. Pat.

Male | 45

It’s good that you’ve ruled out heart issues and hypertension. However, the persistent heaviness in the head and fatigue could be related to other causes such as anemia, thyroid issues, or even stress and anxiety. I would recommend visiting an internal medicine specialist or a neurologist for a thorough evaluation to pinpoint the cause and get appropriate treatment.

Your inability to sleep at night may indicate that you have a condition called insomnia. A specialist or neurologist in sleep disorders should be consulted.

Could you kindly advise treatment for HSP gene11, outcomes, side effects, any long term results please (for my sister, now cannot walk unaided, requires 4wheel mobility walker). Thank you.

Female | 63

The overexpression of HSP gene11 can cause a wide variation of effects and side effects. It can be long-term, and will for example impede walking, maybe, as your sister, has difficulty walking anymore. Obtaining help from a neurologist who treats Hereditary Spastic Paraplegia (HSP) for the right treatment and management is indispensable in this case.

My father is having blood clot in his brain. Which was recently found . He took medication for the same through drips for 5 days . Its been 20 days or more now he says that he feel numbness in hand and feel headache similar to the ache during the cold. And also he feel dizzy sometimes . Is this a normal symptoms of the brain blood clot or an serious issue?

Male | 54

\When a blood clot forms in the brain, numbness in the hand, headache, and dizziness could be worrying. The brain may be deprived of blood supply or there could be pressure on it due to these signs. Make sure he sees a neurologist again because these new symptoms might require more treatment or assessment.

Recently my father diagnosed with diffused cerebral autrophy with chronic microangiopathic changes involving deep hemispheric white matter (fazekas Grade 2 white matter hyperintensities) Kindly suggest what to do ?

Male | 65

Currently there is no specific treatment for managing white matter lesions/hyperintensities. The goal is to treat the reason of the damage and cease the progression and worsening of the disease.

Depending on the reason of damage, the doctor will start you on blood pressure lowering or cholesterol lowering medicines.

In case you have a social habit such as smoking, then it is suggested to quit smoking at the earliest for preventing any further damage.

Consult a neurologist for further treatment.

Why my headache is not going away? It’s a throbbing headache in the temple of my head.

Female | 25

The throbbing headache you've got is likely tension-related. Stress, fatigue, poor posture, or skipping meals can trigger these kinds of headaches. Be sure to drink plenty of water. Try relaxing with deep breaths or meditation too. If the headache won't quit, take a break. Rest in a calm, dark room for a bit.

I am 16 years old male, I have las 3 days of headache in one side of head and I have used saridon to recover this , now what can I do ?

Male | 16

Since your headache has lasted for three days and is on one side of your head, it’s important to see a neurologist to rule out any serious conditions. In the meantime, continue to rest, stay hydrated, and avoid stress. Please visit a neurologist for a proper diagnosis and treatment.

I was twitching all night and when I was awake too and that never happened before. Took magnesium but that did not help. Now still feeling like I am about to twitch again like electricity running through my body

Female | 27

Muscle twitches occur for varying reasons. Stress, lack of sleep, or excessive caffeine intake can trigger them. Alternatively, vitamin deficiencies may be the culprit. Since magnesium didn't alleviate your symptoms, trying other supplements or consulting a neurologist might be beneficial. Additionally, ensuring adequate hydration and rest could potentially mitigate the twitching.

I am a 31-year-old female with L3-L4 protrusion, disc herniation at the L4-L5 level causing severe narrowing of the spinal canal and sacralization of the L5 disc. I have consulted a couple of neurologists in Bangalore but it was not effective. Pain killers and muscle relaxants don't help to subside the pain. I am not able to sit as there is severe burning pain in my right leg. It has been 6 months and there has been no improvement, rather my health is deteriorating. I have tried physiotherapy as well but the pain seems to be increasing. Kindly help me with what treatment should I take up and from where?

Female | 24

You experience stuttering, where speaking smoothly feels difficult. Maybe you feel nervous or tired. For some people, stuttering improves on its own, especially children. However, therapies, and techniques exist to support fluent speech. Speech therapy is one option. It's crucial to discuss with a speech therapist or doctor to find the appropriate path for you.

Your symptoms seem concerning. Left-side headaches, leg tingling, vision troubles - these could link to nerve issues. That spine disk bulge is likely contributing too. Please see a neurologist soon for a proper diagnosis and care plan.

Respected Dr sahab I suffered laziness and tiredness every time but I taken satvit plus co q forte not batter. My sugar, thyroid, vitamin D and vitamin b12 all are ok. pl suggest

Male | 45

If your sugar, thyroid, vitamin D, and vitamin B12 are all normal, then the Satvit Plus Co Q Forte may not be the best choice for you. It is possible that you are just feeling tired due to a lack of sleep or stress. Consider getting more sleep, exercising regularly, and reducing stress. In addition, make sure you are eating a balanced diet with plenty of fruits and vegetables and avoiding processed foods. Finally, if you are still feeling tired, consider talking to your doctor about other potential causes and treatments.

Talking alopathyic medicine for bp & stroke. In this case can take ayurvedic medicines for insomnia

Male | 64

Insomnia makes it hard to fall or stay asleep. Stress, medicines, and health issues can cause it. Be careful taking ayurvedic insomnia meds with allopathic blood pressure or stroke drugs. Always talk to your doctor before trying new medicines. This prevents interactions and side effects. Communicate clearly with your healthcare provider.

Female | 18

Feeling dizzy and weak for days isn't great. It might be due to skipping meals, stress, or low iron. The headache and forehead pain could be related too. Make sure to rest, eat iron-rich foods like greens or meat, and stay hydrated. If you don't feel better soon, visit a neurologist.

I am a nurve patient, but my disease is not anymore, then also I am taking medicine, So my question is that within how many days can I decrease medicine power

Male | 25

When symptoms disappear, it indicates that the treatment is working. For nerve problems, the patient should gradually change medication. The body needs time, usually a few months, to adjust to a new dose before considering reducing it. If you rush this process, symptoms may return.
