Answered on 1st Oct '24
Sleep paralysis is a condition where you wake up but can't move or speak for a short time. It's quite common and usually not harmful. It can happen due to sleep deprivation, an irregular sleep schedule, or stress and anxiety. To prevent it, try to stick to a regular sleep schedule, relax before bed, and manage stress. If it becomes more frequent or concerning, you can consult a sleep specialist for help.

Female | 57
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.

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.

im 19 and i sometimes feel dizzy when i stand up. this sometimes comes with shaking of my legs, arms and blurrines, almost dark. whats my issue?
Female | 19
You might have orthostatic hypotension, which causes dizziness and tremors when you stand up due to a sudden drop in blood pressure. It can also cause brief vision problems. To help, drink plenty of water and avoid standing for too long. If this happens often or worsens, consult a neurologist to ensure everything is okay.

early May my doctor found an active lesion in the cerebellum caused vetrigo, ataxia & balancing issues. I took 7,5g EV cortisone and medrol for 1,5 month.Last pill at May 3rd.After first week I started having sever joint pain especially at knees and wrists.It's 15 of June and I'm still in pain. Wrist,knees,hips almost felt like can't bare my weight
Female | 32
You’re having pain in the joints after you were administered cortisone to the node in your cerebellum. On occasions, joint pain may occur as a side effect of cortisone. Your knees, hands, and hips hurt and it is difficult to stand on them. This is quite possible with cortisone which will affect your body. To solve this problem, it's best to consult an orthopedist about the joint pain.

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.

My father has c3 and c6 spine problem he can't move their legs.he can be recover or not
Male | 40
It`s a very serious condition when the legs become immovable because of the c3 and c6 spine issues. One may have symptoms like numbness or weakness. This injury may lead to the sudden onset of conditions such as spinal cord compression. Recovery is possible with treatments like physical therapy or surgery, depending on the situation.

I have had headache since years. (Approx 4 to 5 years) I used to have Vasograin since then prescribed by a doctor(migraine). But now it is somehow getting little uncontrollable by the medicine! I dont have seizures, or physical disability.
Female | 45
It is concerning that your continuous headaches (4-5 year) with Vasograin as prescribed by a doctor. There might be a need for you to reassess the situation and get medical advise from a neurologist who is well trained in the management of headaches and their complications. They could give a more profound diagnosis as well as offer possible replacement treatment options. Furthermore, don't shy away from visiting the office and speaking with a specialist that can help you out.

Why my headache is not going away? It’s a throbbing headache in the temple of my head.
Female | 25
The throbbing headache you've got is likely tension-related. Stress, fatigue, poor posture, or skipping meals can trigger these kinds of headaches. Be sure to drink plenty of water. Try relaxing with deep breaths or meditation too. If the headache won't quit, take a break. Rest in a calm, dark room for a bit.

Doctor, the patient has cerebral palsy dystonia. Is steam cell treatment better ordeep brain stimulation beneficial for him, Because deep brain stimulation is beneficial for Parkinson’s patients only, and its success rate is high because it is primary dystonia and he has secondary dystonia. Thank you very much.
Male | 28
In this case, deep brain stimulation may not be the best choice since it's typically used for Parkinson's disease. Stem cell therapy that replaces damaged cells instead could be one of the ways to do it. Cerebral palsy dystonia can cause muscle stiffness or uncontrollable movements. Always consult with a doctor to explore suitable options.

Hi I wanted to ask which type of pills or capsules can I take with internal brain bleed.
Female | 17
Intracerebral hemorrhage is a potential health issue that can lead to symptoms such as serious headaches, confusion, and muscle weakness. Possible reasons include high blood pressure, trauma, and certain health conditions. The treatment for internal brain bleed is an emergency medical intervention. To take or swallow any medicine without consulting the doctor can be harmful and can aggravate the condition. One should immediately go to a neurologist to get medical attention.

Can you please suggest some nontropics medicines which can remove Amyloid Plaques from the brain ?
Male | 53
Amyloid plaques in the brain are associated with memory issues and confusion which are typical of Alzheimer's disease. Nontropic drugs which are the drugs being studied for their possible use in removing the plaques are still in the research phase. Currently, there isn't a particular medicine that can do this. Consuming a balanced diet, exercising regularly, and stimulating your mind are all great ways to support brain health.

I am 17 years old male. I have headache for last one year. The headache spreading through neck and face. My mood is down. I can't control my anger. Few days I am good but few days my mental state is not well.
Male | 17
Headaches that spread to your neck and face, along with feeling down and struggling to control your anger, are challenging symptoms to deal with. These could be signs of chronic headaches, which may be linked to stress or unhealthy lifestyle habits. It's important to talk to a neurologist who can help you understand the issues and guide you toward relief.

I'm 67 old man with eary stage of Parkinson . I need effective medication and natural therapy or a secured surgery to end Parkinson completely.
Male | 67
Parkinson's disease affects movement from brain cells misfiring. Early signs are shakes, stiffness, walking trouble. A cure hasn't been found yet, but medication can relieve symptoms. Physical activity and nutritious food also help manage the condition. If it worsens, surgery might be an option. Although it's difficult, stay hopeful and listen to your doctor for optimal treatment.

I tend to jump to worse case scenario but I recently got diagnosed with vertigo caused by middle ear fluid and recently it’s came back since where I am the weather has gotten worse and my vision is kind of blurry sometimes and I have a hard time focusing on someone when they are talking how likely is it that this is being caused by a brain tumor and not the middle ear vertigo or am I just completely over thinking this
Female | 21
The blurry vision and the difficulty in focusing can be the vertigo that the ear fluid causes. It is common and it does not mean that you have a brain tumor. The ear fluid can mess up your balance and vision. Usually, it gets better on its own, but you might need medicine or special exercises if the problem keeps bothering you.

Dear Sir, Below i am sending my father MRI report, kindly guide me. MRI REPORT – BRAIN WITH CONTRAST TECHNIQUE: T1W Sagittal, DWI - b1000, ADC, GRE T2W FS Axial, MR Angiogram, FLAIR Axial & Coronal Post contrast images after administration of 5 ml of gadolinium contrast. OBSERVATION: The study reveals an intrasellar mass lesion, with enlargement of the right half of the anterior pituitary gland, extending to the suprasellar cistern. The mass lesion is predominantly isointense to gray matter on T1-weighted images. On T2-weighted images the mass is predominantly isointense to gray matter with internal areas of T2 hyperintensity suggestive of ?necrosis/cystic change. Dynamic postcontrast images revealed decreased/delayed enhancement of the mass lesion as compared to the rest of the pituitary gland. The mass lesion measures 1.2 AP x 1.6 TR x 1.6 SI cm. Superiorly the mass displaces the infundibulum to the left side. A clear CSF plane of cleavage is seen between the superior aspect of the mass lesion and the optic chasm. No significant parasellar extension of the mass lesion is seen. The cavernous segment of both internal carotid arteries show normal flow void. The mass causes mild thinning of the floor of the sella turcica, with slight bulge toward the roof of the sphenoid sinus. MR findings likely represent pituitary adenoma. Confluent and discrete areas of T2/flair hyperintensity are seen in bilateral supratentorial periventricular and subcortical deep white matter, likely representing nonspecific ischemic changes with a combination of leukoariosis, microvascular ischemic changes, lacunar infarcts and prominent perivascular spaces. Basal ganglia and thalami are normal. Midbrain, pons and medulla are normal in signal intensity. The cerebellum appears normal. Bilateral CP angle cisterns are normal. The ventricular system and subarachnoid spaces are normal. No significant midline shift is seen. The cranio-cervical junction is normal. Post-contrast images reveal no other abnormal enhancing pathology. Bilateral maxillary sinus polyps are noted.

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.

I am 21 year old female and I have been feeling my legs and hands go numb quite often in a day. I have also started doing yoga recently if this concerns and 2-3 months back I got my blood tests done and found out vitamin B12 level to be low. Also this whole covidshield causing blood clots scare me.
Female | 21
Hey, it looks like your legs and hands are getting numb, which could mean your vitamin B12 levels are low. This happens when there isn’t enough B12 to keep your nerves functioning properly. Yoga is great but won’t do it all by itself. Make sure to eat foods like meat, fish and dairy that have lots of B12 in them. Talk to a doctor about checking out your levels of B12 if you haven’t already.

Yesterday I had leg and feets pain like sprain today at night suddenly it started twitching it was so intense that I was moving my legs hands arm it was more in arm I was crying out ???? and and teeth were shivering and now suddenly my pain disappeared and shivering also disappeared I still can't stop crying. my forehead is hot and my teeth are shivering but I am not feeling much cold on my feet but there is some coldness
Female | 18
The twitching and shaking may be the result of muscle spasms caused by dehydration, low levels of certain minerals like potassium or calcium, or overexertion of muscles. A hot forehead could be a sign of increased body temperature. Be sure to drink enough water and eat foods rich in minerals like bananas, nuts, and dairy products. On the other hand, taking a warm bath and resting can also help relax your muscles. If these symptoms continue, it is necessary to see a neurologist.

Urgent- I am 53 old male with history of restless leg syndrome from approx. 20 years. With time it as become more severe as because I can’t sleep for many nights. By advance diagnosis doc discover i lack in dopamine production. I am having depressing thoughts .. can u give me promising treatment?
Male | 53
No single "promising treatment" will work for everyone with restless leg syndrome. Commonly recommended treatments include medications, lifestyle changes, and physical therapies. Medications and treatments can be prescribed only after a proper diagnosis. Rest you should avoid caffeine, alcohol, and tobacco to reduce the severity of symptoms. Physical therapies such as stretching, massage, and yoga can help relieve muscle tension and improve sleep quality. It is also important to discuss any feelings of depression with your doctor and consider seeking therapy or counseling.
