It's good your child's seizures remain controlle­d, although the night leg pains and higher valproic acid le­vels need discussion. Night le­g pains might signal low magnesium or calcium, so checking those could he­lp explain it. To address the highe­r valproic acid level, adjusting that medication dose­ may resolve it. Follow up with your child's doctor about these­ symptoms and potential treatment change­s. If any othe­r concerns arise, don't hesitate­ to reach out to a neurologist for guidance.

Hello guys, I am a male 24 years old. So in early 201 9 i started to get weird symptoms than at the end develop constant feeling of them.lt all started with just sinus pressure and dizzines,but it develop in to constant unsteadiness like i am walking on a boat 24/7.It does never stop not even for a single second. It does not matter if i am laying,sitting or walking the sensation is there always.This sensation is accompanied with sort of like bouncy vision which is constant same as the unsteadiness.lts hard for me to focus on objects because i have a sensation that they are moving or bouncing.This dual sensation varies in intensity depending on the day. Those both sensation are going on for 5 years.l have developed anxiety with it and often find myself panicking over this symptoms I did an MRI scan that showed no malignat changes on the brain and a C6-C7 discus hernia and relative spinal stenosis. I also went to few ENT doctors,that recommended me to do a deviated septum surgery which i got. They said it could be to air pressure in my ears and oxygen deficiency which ultimately did not prove to be right. I went to a few neurologist that all said the same,that there is nothing wrong according to them I also went to an eye doctor who said i do not have anything wrong with my eyes despite my bouncy vision.Even when i explained my symptoms she said that she had never heard of something like this On the recommendation of my ENT doctor i did caloric test that show the next parametars: Right ear showed 2.20 and left ear showed 2.50 (keep in mind i do not know what this means) I also have checked my blood vessels on my neck to check for circulation and it came out fine I am literally out of options and i do not know what to do next. Anyone out there with simillar kind of symptoms? Can anybody give me some advice for what to do next?

My grandfather age is 69 and he has second stroke in last 2 month and he unable to move and speak but in progress and today his bp is high what is the reason for high bp please doctor give me your suggestion

Male | 69

It is common for people who have had strokes to experience high blood pressure, especially after a stroke. The stroke might have altered the brain areas that regulate blood pressure. As a result, the body may struggle to control it. Hypertension can also exacerbate the severity of strokes. Thus, advise him to eat foods that are low in salt content, take the medications he has been given strictly, and get enough sleep to regulate the levels of this condition.

I am suffering the following: - Post Polio Residual Paralysis cerebral vascular accident Is it coming under Multiple disability or Locomotor Disability

Male | 64

Your conditions, Polio Residual Paralysis and cerebral vascular accident (stroke) would generally be categorized as "Multiple Disabilities" rather than "Locomotor Disability." Multiple Disabilities involve coexisting impairments in different body systems, while Locomotor Disability typically refers to issues related to mobility. It's important to consult a medical professional for accurate classification.

Parkinson's disease­ causes shaking, stiffness, moveme­nt issues. Your tremors may signify this condition. When brain ce­lls malfunction, Parkinson's occurs. No cure exists yet, but tre­atments like medicine­, therapy, sometimes surge­ry can help manage symptoms. Working closely with he­althcare providers is key.

Right side C3-C4 dumbbell Schwannoma, please refers treatment to reduce the tumor.

Male | 37

SURGERY is the most effective treatment for Schwannoma. The goal is to remove the entire tumor.. If the tumor is too large or is in a difficult location, RADIATION THERAPY may be an option. There are also MEDICATIONS that can be used to alleviate symptoms. It's important to consult a specialist in treating this type of TUMOR... Recovery time varies, but most people can resume their normal activities within a few weeks... Regular follow-up appointments will be necessary to monitor the tumor's growth...India has some of the best hospitals to treat this type of issues, find the beast feasible location for you
