Answered on 12th Dec '24

I'm really glad that you've taken the step of turning to professional help for your left hand after you had a stroke. Principal problems might be weakness, decreased coordination, and more trouble in doing your daily activities. The occupational therapy can give you your strength back and improve the functioning through tailored exercises and techniques. It is focused on your skill development in doing practical life activities such as personal care tasks, so your daily life becomes much easier and more fun. My advice is to go an authentic health provider in the rehabilitation department who will open a dialogue to your needs and create an individual treatment plan.

Male | 28

The ailments you mentioned, such as pounding pain, sleepiness, and fatigue are normal for a concussion. Drink no alcohol and take it easy, but don't sleep now. See if you can manage to stay awake for a few hours and check your symptoms. Go to the doctor in case the symptoms become more serious.

I had Guillain-Barré syndrome around 2014 , was treated.I felt my left eye became smaller than usual size after many years of the treatment.Is it possible to get treatment for my eye to be normal?

Female | 44

Changing eye sizes can be caused by several factors, including nerve involvement from the syndrome. Some interventions may be used to improve your eye's looks or function, like for example vision therapy or aesthetic procedures. An appointment with an eye doctor who can evaluate your situation and prescribe appropriate cures specific to your condition is vital.

Male | 63

Restless legs, slurred speech, confusion, different facial expressions, and constipation are sometimes the adverse effects of these medications. Moreover, these drugs can aggravate these symptoms in Parkinson's disease patients. It is crucial to have a discussion with his doctor about the necessary changes in the treatment plan that will make him feel better.

Aaj morning se sir me pain ho raha hai Vaisograin tablet bhi Li par koi releif nahi hua

Female | 24

Headaches can arise in many ways, for example, stress, lack of sleep, or even looking at screens for too long can cause them. It's better to lie in a peaceful place, drink a lot of plain water, and abstain from excessive screen time. If the pain persists, you need to go to a doctor and get a thorough checkup done.

Hello! I was diagnosed with OCD a while ago, and one of the compulsions to certain thoughts was to hold my breath for time. It all started from here. I entered medicine, I am passionate about the field and I was always a 10th grade student. My question is if my brain was affected, if there was any cerebral hypoxia. There were times when I held my breath for quite long periods (until I felt that I had to do it), other times when I was not breathing enough and had that feeling of suffocation (the biggest fear here is, I don't know exactly how much). I had a native brain MRI, 1.5 tesla, nothing negative came out. However, on a micro level, was my cognition, my intelligence, my memory affected? The SpO2 value is 98-99% now, should I go to a doctor? I haven't slept much in my life, I always stay up at night to study and I wonder if my brain is more sensitive to such things, also I was born prematurely. I had read on the Internet that people can get hypoxia and not see it on an MRI, that really panicked me. I'm starting college in a week and I'm constantly thinking about this. If I'm going to forget certain details, I won't remember certain things, I'll always think it's because my brain was damaged, not that it's normal not to remember everything. I managed to overcome these compulsions. But I think that there are no after-effects on the brain. What do you recommend? I am very panicked that I might have hurt myself because of some senseless compulsions. I don't feel myself anymore, after reading or many things on the Internet. Is there anything to do?

Male | 18

Holding your breath for a long time can sometimes make you dizzy or suffocate, nevertheless, it is improbable for you to suffer from a permanent brain injury. Your brain which requires oxygen is doing well because you have been receiving good oxygen levels. If you're feeling worried, try some relaxation techniques like deep breathing or talking to someone you trust.

Pressure headache mostly around eyes behind nose and cheekbones. Generally feeling like I have a band around my head. Gets worse when I am bending over.

Female | 35

You might have a sinus headache. Sinuses are spaces in your face that can get swollen and cause pain. Pressure can be made worse by bending over. Other symptoms can include a runny or stuffy nose. To feel better, you can try using a warm compress on your face, staying hydrated, and using over-the-counter pain relievers. If you feel this way all the time, it is best to go to a doctor to be sure.

My mother has been suffering from fever and cought since many day ...later on she started having weakness..yesterday she had difficulty in movement of her left hand....today morning she had difficulty in moving her left leg too...her all vitals are normal..

Female | 39

A stroke occurs when the flow of blood to the brain is hindered, causing weakness or trouble in moving a limb on one side of the body. Symptoms that may develop in this condition are fever, cough, and physical weakness. It is absolutely vital to get medical attention immediately if a stroke is suspected, as early intervention is crucial for recovery.

Hello sir, I have a pain in my left side skul part ...it had so many years .but now thepain gets worst...more pain...that pain passes to the left sideof ear ,eye, throat, hand also ...and one more thing is...now left eye is getting pain and falls tears also...what is this symptoms

Female | 26

You could be undergoing a migraine experience. Migraines can bring about severe pain in the head which is usually unilateral. It can then spread from the eye, ear, throat, and sometimes even to tearing. Going through the menopause, you may have seasonal hormonal changes. Most people feel that climate change can trigger migraines. To try to avoid migraines, note what triggers to look for, practice some relaxation techniques, and get over-the-counter drugs used with guidance under the care of your doctor could be some good ideas.
