The possible reasons may be stress, lack of water, or lack of rest, to mention a few. In this case, make yourself feel better by drinking enough fluids, eating the right nutrients, and doing calming activities like deep breathing or meditation. Sleep habits are also important. Nonetheless, if the symptoms persist you should consult a neurologist for personalized treatment plan.

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.

One more question my ears are ringing it's been 2 months to my accident and having a slight hearing loss in left ear it will go away or not ?

Male | 23

Ringing in the ears and deafness after an accident can result from injury to the tiny hairs in the inner ear. This might occur if there is an abrupt loud noise or trauma. It is necessary to consult with an audiologist. They will be able to determine what would be most helpful for your situation in terms of hearing improvement methods. Do not be afraid because there are treatments that can be used for you to be able to hear well again.

I'm having light headed and getting dizzy and shivering

Female | 23

You might be experiencing symptoms of low blood sugar, dehydration, or an underlying condition affecting your nervous system. I recommend you visit a general physician or a neurologist to get a proper diagnosis. Please don’t ignore these symptoms and get checked by a doctor at the earliest.

There is swelling in nerve on the side of ear and it causes pain in head and in neck

Male | 18

You might have something called occipital neuralgia. The nerves going from your spine to scalp get irritated or inflamed. This causes the head and neck discomfort. Other effects could be light sensitivity and a sore scalp. To ease the pain, take over-the-counter medicine. Apply warmth or cold to the area. Practice deep breathing and relaxing. But if it persists, see a neurologist for evaluation and treatment.

Dr my Sister is 16 years old , before two years she had suffered a severe illness 103F. And a month ago she was playing with little brother and fell down on floor just showing symptoms like epilepsy , I consult with many doctors they said that according to reports she is ok because all reports are fine including eeg , ct scan and mineral test. After that day she is felling pain in b/w eyes region and pain starts gradually and becomes severe at that time heart beat increases and feet become cold it happens normaly after one day or two days or even a week. She felt just like heaviness on eyes and head and she don't likes sound noise , light. A neurolgist dr gave me tablets( Inderal , froben) and said when pain starts you have to give her one tablet of each. Dr when severe pain happens b/w eyes , increase in heart beat , feet become cold and again and again urination(after 2 minutes or 5 minutes).

Female | 16

It sounds like your sister is experiencing a complex set of symptoms that are distressing for both her and your family. Even though her tests are normal, the symptoms you describe—severe pain between the eyes, increased heartbeat, cold feet, and sensitivity to light and sound—should not be ignored. It’s good that you have consulted with a neurologist, but if her symptoms persist or worsen, I strongly recommend seeking a second opinion from another neurologist. It's important to continue monitoring her condition and keep her doctors informed of any changes.

Dizziness for a long time.

Female | 77

Polonged dizziness requires attention. Causes range from inner ear issues to low blood sugar levels. Anxiety and dehydration can also trigger dizziness episodes. However, sometimes it signals a bigger health concern. If dizziness plagues you frequently, see a neurologist. They'll investigate and recommend proper treatment. Meanwhile, take precautions to avoid falls or injuries.

Why do I feel like pins are poking on my skin and whenever I try to move it hurts badly

Female | 20

The sensation of pins and needles you experienced can be caused by nerve irritation, peripheral neuropathy, inflammatory conditions, or nerve-related conditions. You must consult with a neurologist for a proper evaluation and diagnosis to figure out the cause and treatment options.

My vitamin b12 levels are near about 200 ng/ml from 10 years although I am non vegetarian.currently i am on ssri from 1 year for anxiety and depression.now iam feeling muscle pain legs,numbness in fingers of hand sometimes very rare. It is due to anxiety issues or b/12 .

Male | 39

Insufficient vitamin B12 amounts can lead to muscle aches and numbness which will be considerably suffered in fingers and legs. If your symptoms are related to low B12 levels, it may still be the case that your meat-eating habits do not have any effect. The best way to handle this with your doctor is to ask them to check your B12 levels and determine whether you need treatment or supplements.

It sounds like you're experiencing involuntary movements in your hand during the night.

Don’t worry, with the right medical guidance, you can improve and feel better.

I am getting often headaches why

Female | 17

Headaches are a normal thing people get sometimes. The reasons can be stress, not sleeping well, not having enough water, or too much screen time. Even food or your surroundings may cause them. Drink water, get rest, eat healthy foods, and take breaks from screens regularly. Severe or frequent headaches mean you should talk to a neurologist. They happens for different reasons. It could be because of stress, lack of sleep, not drinking enough water, or even looking at screens for too long.

I'm 17 years old. I'm having sleep problems.i can't sleep properly in night, it's almost took me 2 hours to sleep even after closing my eyes. And in day time , my eyes started to burning

Female | 17

Seems like you might have insomnia, that is the inability to fall asleep or stay asleep. If you can’t fall asleep at night this can cause tired eyes that burn all day long. Stress, caffeine and use of screens before bedtime are some common reasons why teenagers suffer from this condition. Establishing a night time routine, avoiding caffeine and switching off the screens before going to bed may help improve your sleeping patterns.

My father is now 78 years old and before 8 months he was having stroke and now it’s recovered, today morning his face started swelling mainly both lower & upper lips.

Male | 78

Swelling in the face, particularly around the lips, may result from a number of causes like allergies, infections, or fluid retention. It is beneficial that your father has returned to his healthy state after his stroke, but any new symptoms should not be neglected. This swelling maybe developed into an allergy or it would be a causal issue. I suggest you consult a neurologist.They will do tests on him to identify the problem before they decide on treatment.

My son is 5yrs old. He is suffering by autism. What are the treatment here for the autism?

Male | 5

The signs in kids may involve having trouble with social interactions, repeating certain behaviors, and speech being delayed. As of now, there is no known cause for this condition. Treatment can consist of different therapies such as occupational therapy which focuses on skills needed for day-to-day living, behavioral therapy aims at managing symptoms so they don’t interfere too much with life quality, or even just speech therapy if that’s where most help seems necessary. Be sure to team up with a neurologist who will assist in coming up with a treatment plan that best fits your son.

My child is suffering from severe headache everyday I had gone through all the checkups Even ct scan, mri But all reports are normal

Male | 11

If all the tests, like CT scans and MRIs, are normal, there might be different explanations for the headaches. Sometimes, stress, bad sleep, dehydration, and eye strain can be the causes of headaches. Tell your child to drink water, get enough sleep, deal with stress, and take a break from screens regularly. If the headaches continue, it's vital to consult a neurologist for more evaluation and guidance.

You have tinnitus which is the ringing in the ear and you have chills with shivering too. Tinnitus is caused by many different things like loud noises or stress. The chills could be because of an infection. Get lots of rest, drink enough water, and if necessary go to a doctor for more help.

At the of ejaculation my head both side start severe pain....it is a major problem

Male | 45

Pain on both sides of your head after ejaculation could signify post-coital headache. This moderate to intense pain's exact cause remains unclear. However, it may link to altered blood flow or pressure. Stay hydrated, avoid strenuous sexual activity, and try relaxation techniques to manage it. But if pain persists or worsens, consulting a neurologist becomes crucial for evaluation and proper guidance.

I get these severe headaches that's starts from my eyes Before the actual headache starts my eyes gets like the rippling water effect that starts from the outer of the eyeball As theat progresses I get this severe headache on either side of my brain towards the centre where it feels like a stabbing pain. Sometimes my ears start painingand the headache lasts for 3-5 hours where I have to stop what I'm doing and lay down and take a pain tablet and sleep. Even while my eyes are closed I see the rippling water. Sometimes I get it 2-3 times in a day and I'm totally drained out. Even when the headaches stop the brain still pains for days...a simple cough and my brain pains. I also get very hot and perspire. Sometimes my face feels numbs and I feel almost lifeless and don't want to talk or move that's how severe the pain is. What is this?

Female | 51

Your migraine headache disorder could be a possible cause. You may experience severe pain on one side of your head and even have visual disturbances, like a "rippling water" effect, before the headache starts. Sensitivity to light and sound, along with numbness or weakness, can also happen during a migraine attack. The key is to identify and avoid potential triggers such as stress, lack of sleep, and certain foods. Keeping a headache journal can help you spot patterns. You can also try relaxation techniques, maintain regular sleep routines, and take prescribed medications to prevent or treat migraines. It's important to seek medical advice from a neurologist for a personalized treatment plan.

Epilepsy causes seizures. They can be strong shakes or short blank spells. The reason could be genes or brain injuries. Epilepsy isn't cured, but medicine often helps. A neurologist helps find the right treatment. Seizures happen differently for each person. So working closely with a doctor is important.

Legs are feeling very weak. Feel like sleeping and not eating

Female | 48

Faster or weaker legs, fatigue, and absence of appetite are possible causes of many diseases. It could be due to a lot of sleepless nights or maybe the deficiency of body important nutrients. Have a balanced diet with healthy food, get enough rest, and drink plenty of water. If the symptoms are still there, make sure to visit a neurologist so they can help you find out what's wrong.
