It is crucial to take the right steps immediately and calling emergency services is an important one. They will give the needed treatment so that your friend can heal.

Usually, a doctor prescribes medicine after evaluating seizures in cerebral palsy. Seizures cause movement, staring, shaking. The prescription's goal is controlling seizures. Following the doctor's orders closely matters. Don't miss dosages. Always tell your neurologist of changes or effects.

Hi what causes fatigue , chest pain , pressure in my head , weakness in my left arm and leg , irregular heartbeat , I have bad dental and a lump at the base of my skull , low blood pressure
Female | 30
From what you describe, carotid artery disease could be causing your issues. This condition blocks blood vessels in your neck. It can lead to tiredness, chest discomfort, head pressure, and left arm/leg weakness. The irregular heartbeat, poor dental health, and skull base lump may relate. Reduced blood flow from the blockage could cause low blood pressure. To properly address this, seeking medical evaluation and treatment is vital.

Should I be worried constant head pressure and headaches a brain tumor or anxiety? Can anxiety symptoms last 24/7?
Female | 29
Feeling pressure in the head can stem from various sources, such as a brain tumor or anxiety-related issues. Notably, anxiety symptoms may persist consistently rather than appearing intermittently. Brain tumors often lead to additional manifestations like impaired vision or speech difficulties. If you experience concerning symptoms, it's crucial to promptly consult a neurologist for accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment.

My father is 77 years old, he has shivering problem, his hands and legs shook severely, now he has no control on toilet.
Male | 77
Sounds like your dad might have something called Parkinson’s. This makes hands and legs shake a lot and causes problems controlling when you have to pee. What happens is certain cells in his brain stop working right. A neurologist can give him drugs or teach him exercises to help with these things.

Female | 31
It can be neurological symptoms that could be related to a number of conditions. Pinning, burning, and sensory changes that start in one part of the body and spread to other areas could be a sign of nerve damage or dysfunction. See a neurologist as soon as possible to talk your symptoms more in detail and undergo a thorough physical and neurological examination.

I am 26 yrs old female from last 2 yrs I have an severe headache right of brain above ear My right side nerve beating fast throbbing badly When I have headache I feel totally blank nausea etc I don't feel good
Female | 26
These symptoms suggest an issue affecting the right side of your head, possibly linked to nerve-induced sound waves, headaches, and nausea. Conditions like tension headaches, migraines, or sinus problems could be causing this. It's important to stay hydrated, eat well, get enough sleep, and manage stress. However, if the symptoms persist or worsen, consult a neurologist for proper evaluation and advice.

I have vertigo problem .I done some m r i lot's of treatment but no results also I done physiotherapy but no results .with vertigo i hav ear ringing problem.i done hrct scan but it's normal.
Male | 28
When you have vertigo, you may feel like everything is spinning around you; however, this can be very frustrating if accompanied by tinnitus. These two symptoms have been known to persist even after an MRI scan or physical therapy has been done. It’s a good thing that your HRCT scan was normal. In this situation, I would advise you to see an ENT specialist so they can find out more about what might be causing them internally and from outside sources like infections, etc.

My uncle is 67 years old with lung cancer and been in remission for a while. He suffers bad migraines. He was getting shots and nothing worked. He said he hit his head a couple times and developed a subdermal hematoma. He started throwing up and took him to er they transferred him to toledo hospital where they did burr holes and released blood from his brain. He is not recovering or answering any questions properly. Now he has air in the burrs. Last scan showed no air but blood has moved to the back of his head. They are giving fentanyl by IV and npo. 3 days not eating.He is confused and restrained. No communication with a doctor since after surgery We been here since Thursday He had his surgery friday. Should I take him somewhere else? His cancer is not killing him. These headaches from chemo and radiation after effects I believe.
Male | 67
The headache and confusion he is experiencing might be due to the hematoma, which is a blood clot in his brain. The air in the burr holes is concerning. The brain cannot tolerate excess blood, as it may cause problems. At least the pain medicine is helping him. His recovery process might be a bit lengthy. It's important to stay in constant communication with the doctors at the hospital.

Good evening Doctor one of my cousin who is 11 yrs old last night suddenly her left leg n hand paralysed... Today we took her to the hospital they scanned her spinal cord fluid but the reports are normal ...what is the reason for her condition
Female | 11
It is caused by a temporary breakdown that interrupts the blood flow to the brain or nerves. The result from the spinal cord fluid scan indicates that she is normal. I would insist on regular checking where she can have enough rest, as it is key to her recovery. Typically, the body heals itself after some time, so in most cases, the paralysis will disappear. If, after all this period, she still experiences these symptoms or possibly worsens, then much stress is seen to be caused, and the situation demands continuous communication with her neurologist for safety.

Suffered from stroke 8 months back since the patient is suffering from dysphagia. From the 8 months nothing improvement is shown in dysphagia. When he tries to eat something suddenly the cough comes. From 8 months feeding is from Ryles Tube. Sir please tell us what we can do
Male | 65
Some people have trouble swallowing after a stroke. This condition is called dysphagia, and it's common after a stroke. If someone coughs while eating, it could mean that food is going into their airways instead of their stomach. A feeding tube can help for a while. Speech therapy often helps people regain their ability to swallow over time. Keep in touch with your doctors to get the best care plan.

I want ask if can take brahmi capsules for increasing my memory for examination and My exams are within 1 month. My age 21 How much should be the dosage? Will it help?
Male | 21
Brahmi capsules are often used for potential memory enhancement, but their effectiveness varies. Before trying them, consult a doctor due to differences in dosage and individual response. Generally, a 300-450 mg dose in divided amounts is common. Start well in advance of exams. Remember, supplements should complement good study habits, sleep, and a healthy diet. Side effects and interactions exist, so consult a neurology professional.

Have been having constant headaches for weeks now. Especially when I wake up in the morning. The headache is one the two sides of my head, most time one sided, most time all around my head or forehead. The headache gets worse when I sleep and wake up and in the evening before bed. I feel my head pounding.
Female | 27
Experiencing constant headaches for weeks, particularly upon waking up, with pain on one or both sides of the head, forehead, and sometimes all around the head, could be due to tension headaches, migraines, cluster headaches, sinusitis, sleep related issues, neck problems, or dehydration. Since it is severe please consult a neurologist or headache specialist in your locality.

Now it's mctd with myasthenia gravis had been diagnosed. Mi 2 a and 2b also positive. RNP/sm positive. RP155 POSITIVE. iam on prednisone and pyridostigmine now. Is this ok or any other medicine should be taken. CPK is 2272
Female | 55
You’re managing a complex situation with mixed connective tissue disease (MCTD) and myasthenia gravis. Your test results show positive markers, which means your immune system is attacking your healthy tissues. The combination of prednisone and pyridostigmine is helping control your symptoms. Since your CPK levels are high, it might be due to muscle damage. Your doctor may consider adjusting your medications or adding new ones to address inflammation and muscle weakness. It’s important to stay in close contact with your neurologist for regular check-ups and to discuss any new symptoms or issues.

Male | 18
Your headaches which occurred after eating edible cannabis could be connected with cannabis use. Occasionally, marijuana can trigger headaches as a result. This might be an explanation for the sensation of blood pouring into your brain. To manage your symptoms, do not forget to drink plenty of water, get enough sleep, and try to consult a specialist for further advice.

I'm a 35 year old man. I have numbness in both my hands for the last 4 days and today my lips are also numb. What should I do?
Male | 25
It might be numbness of hands and lips which could be a nerve problem. The main causes can be a lack of vitamins or compression of nerves. Make sure that your meals are diversified. Rather, try different procedures of raising your hands and be careful to keep the pressure off the nerves. Ask a neurologist to rule out possible causes if symptoms don't disappear or worsen.

I am located in Tanzania. I have ruptured my Achilles tendon. I know I need to have surgery. My concern is I have no feeling in the bottom of my foot, the doctors here want to do the tendon surgery and are saying the damaged nerves may repair themselves. I don't know if that is true or if I should have a neurosurgeon do the surgery.
Female | 51
The nerves that are damaged could heal by themselves with time but it is advisable to seek guidance from a specialist on how best to handle this situation. If you don't want to go ahead with surgery, have a second opinion from a neurosurgeon and based on that take the decision right for you.

It is always best to consult with her doctor to see what's the best course of action is for her. However, medications such as oxybutynin, tolterodine, and solifenacin may be effective in treating urinary incontinence. Additionally, physical therapy and pelvic floor exercises may help improve her walking and bladder control.
