How to increase acetylcholine?

It is not yet proven if acetylcholine levels can be increased. However, according to some studies, consuming choline, a nutrient, could help. Foods that contain choline are meat, fish, eggs, beans, cruciferous vegetables, whole grains, dairy products, nuts and seeds.

Hello Doctor, My name is Ayman. On December 25th, 2023, I suddenly experienced severe, unexplained pain in my neck. The pain quickly spread down my spinal cord, and I lost strength in my hands, making it impossible to move them. I began sweating profusely. Despite being weak, I managed to walk to the car, but my condition worsened on the way. I struggled to breathe, fainted, lost control of my legs, and my lips turned blue before arriving at the hospital. Once at the hospital, I was admitted to the RCU (Respiratory Care Unit) and intubated. Two weeks later, a tracheostomy was performed. During my 75 days in the RCU, I received the following treatments: 1. Plasmapheresis with 50 bottles of Albumin. 2. IVIG therapy (68 bottles). After 75 days, I graduated from the RCU. My recovery began slowly: • My hands started moving again, though they remained numb. • My legs also started moving, but they were extremely numb. I was prescribed Pregabalin 75 mg to help with the numbness in my legs. However, after taking the medication, my legs stopped working again. I was readmitted to the RCU for 3 days and remained under observation in the hospital for a total of 6 months. Eventually, my breathing improved, and I was discharged. I have been home for the past 6 months I can't stop and go This is my current health status. Thank you.

Symptoms such as extremely painful neck, myasthenia, and breathing difficulty could mean a problem with the neurologic or musculoskeletal system. Sometimes it takes a long time for a person to recover slowly in the post-period of invasive treatments like plasmapheresis and IVIG therapy. Make sure to keep following up with your neurologist for a check-up, especially for your adjustment of medication if necessary. They will be the ones to evaluate the decreased sensitivity and mobility in your bodily functions to get the right assistance.

Hello doctor، I got an illness 12 months ago because of a pain in my neck، then my hands stopped moving and then I couldn't walk، then I lost my breathing، I was on a ventilator for 3 months، after 2 months I got better، my legs started moving but I took a pill and my legs it was disabled ، my arm is bent and now I'm fine at home but my legs don't work، I can't walk. I'm in Kurdistan and the doctors are hesitant. I have a disease that many people say is Gillian Barry syndrome or Myelitis, should I come out of the country or Europe, it's good for me?, thank you.
Male | 15
The signs of your disease, such as immobility and the respiratory issues, imply the development of an autoimmune condition such as Guillain-Barre or myelitis. It's necessary to visit a specialist and get suitable drugs. If the domestic health institutions do not want to take that risk, you may go for care abroad where you can find special rehabilitation centers. Make sure to seek advice and assistance from the doctors who treat you as well as get any therapy you need.

Bell's Palsy keep returning? Is permanent treatment available?
Female | 32
Bell's Palsy can recur in some cases, although it's not common. While there's no guaranteed permanent cure, treatments can help manage symptoms and reduce the likelihood of recurrence. These may include medications like corticosteroids to reduce inflammation, physical therapy to maintain muscle tone and function, and surgery or other interventions in some cases. You need to work closely with a neurologist to create a proper treatment plan.

Your problem seems to point that your sleep and your focus are getting affected by your case. It may be due to your sleep pattern or stress. You should just adopt some healthy habits such as following a consistent sleep schedule, exercise daily, and keep away from electronic devices before going to bed. In order to develop better concentration usage of small study sessions and break will be the answer. If this problem still exists, seeing a physician or a mental health professional might be a good option.

Fall can be caused by many problems, including balance disorders, vision problems, or muscle weakness. Take care of yourself by getting enough sleep, staying hydrated, and checking your medication for side effects. Consult a neurologist for a proper assessment and instructions on how to prevent falls in the future.

You might be experiencing symptoms related to nerve issues or circulation problems. This can sometimes happen due to conditions like peripheral neuropathy or other nerve-related disorders. It's important to visit a neurologist for a proper diagnosis and treatment.

I am 18 and have recently been experiencing heavy memory loss (ex. unable to remember names, forgetting how to do tasks, driving unknown places). I have an appointment but I'm unsure whether I should go to urgent care for this instead or not.
Female | 18
Memory loss, particularly at a young age, is a matter of concern. Forgetfulness, having difficulties remembering names or tasks, and getting lost can be the signs of a serious issue. It might be due to stress, a lack of sleep, or a medical problem such as a brain injury or dementia. Getting a checked-up by a neurologist is essential. They can figure out the reason and offer the right treatment to help your memory improvement.

Hellp! I am someone with MS. I have very low vitamin D levels and have had that flr a while. I an currently experiencing pain in my left leg. In both knee and thigh. I have pain and can not stand on it as usual. It is the second time in less than 2 weeks (my knee, first time)
Female | 25
Lack of vitamin D levels in the case of multiple sclerosis patients may be responsible for muscle pain on some occasions. You should be getting enough vitamin D from sunlight or a supplement of vitamin D. Besides that, you can try to make the tension loosen or apply a warm compress to stop the pain. If the pain continues, go to a doctor to get professional advice.

Male | 9months
Jerky motions in a baby's arms may be infantile spasms, a seizure disorder common around this age. These sudden twitches in limbs need medical care quickly. See a pediatric neurologist soon for proper tests and plan. Early action matters to avoid issues and help the baby's growth.

Female | 73 years old
These signs could originate from different things, such as nerve problems, circulation issues, or even muscle conditions. Almost always we will be starved of our health by getting medical help. Health practitioners can do some tests, such as imaging or nerve studies, for the diagnosis. Apply easy exercises and stay on the right track in your life for your everyday life. Please be careful to talk to a neurologist to reveal your symptoms; because on time could be the turning point.

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.

You might be dealing with stress, maybe too much strain or not enough rest. The human body reacts to stress in such a way that all these things can happen. To feel better, the recommended course of action is: to relax more, try to get some sleep, and practice breathing exercises or do some gentle exercises.

I’m a 26 year old female who is a diagnosed epileptic. I have been taking 200mg of lamotrigine since January. However I’m still having frequent seizures and cluster seizures so I’m looking to see if I could get an additional medication prescribed alongside the lamotrigine to support my symptoms and gain more control over my seizures.
Female | 26
It’s important to tell a neurologist about those symptoms again. Sometimes taking another medicine such as levetiracetam or valproate can help to bring seizures under control. These drugs act in different ways to help lower the chances of having a seizure. Your doctor will be able to advise you better on what treatment plan will suit you most appropriately.

You should consult for a second opinion right away. Hemifacial spasm can be a symptom of another neurological condition, including an aneurysm. A ruptured cerebral aneurysm is a medical emergency that requires to be treated promptly. Speculating on life expectancy without the proper medical evaluation is inappropriate. As soon as you can, see a neurologist.

18F, 44 Kg (97 lbs.), 4'11, Asian, South Asia In March, I blacked out while brushing my teeth. I rushed to the hospital, and the doctor said it could have been a seizure. Since then, I’ve been dealing with the following symptoms: Blacked out while brushing my teeth in March Ongoing headaches (cervicogenic- earlier, now only head aches) Facial numbness that started around the same time Doctor suspected the headaches were due to acid reflux (medicated for it) Had an MRI for seizure protocol (clear results) Skull dents appeared out of nowhere and are getting worse over time Blood pressure fluctuations, sometimes dropping unexpectedly Headaches continue intermittently I don’t drink milk but have been taking Vitamin D supplements due to possible deficiency (recommended by doc) I’m wondering if this could be related to calcium or Vitamin D deficiency, or if it might point to something else. I'm really concerned about the skull dents, and I’m not sure if these symptoms could indicate something serious
Female | 18
Thank you for laying your worries out; it is normal for you to be worried about the symptoms you are experiencing. The injuries in your skull and the ongoing headaches could be caused by several different things, including structural changes or lack of proper nutrition. Vitamin D may be needed, but checking calcium levels is also a crucial part of the prevention. It's great that your MRI was clear, but if you are still feeling the symptoms, you should get a neurologist's opinion. The doctor I recommend should examine your condition more comprehensively and then advise you.

The headache you have on the right side of your forehead may be a result of many things, examples being tension headaches, migraines, or sinus infections. It is recommended to consult a neurologist who will perform the physical exam and differentiate diagnoses of similar signs such as cognitive decline.
