Can Smoking or Vaping Affect Bells Palsy Recovery at 14?
I am 14 years old and I am suffering from bells palsy I am asking you that is cancelled I smoke vape in bells palsy recovery

Answered on 30th Nov '24
Bell’s palsy is a condition where facial muscles on one side of the face are not functioning properly, thus causing the affected part to droop. Smoking or vaping can make your recovery take longer. These kinds of practices can be a good reason to avoid them when you are sick because more time your body requires to recover.

पुरुष | 19
A stroke is a nervous system problem that can cause symptoms like weakness, difficulty speaking, and confusion. It happens when the brain is starved of oxygen due to a blocked blood vessel or a burst blood vessel. Stroke treatment varies and may include medications, therapy, or surgery. The best chance of recovery is if you get to the hospital as soon as possible.

One person is having headache due to literature and that too is not continuing. He does it once in an hour and that too for two to three seconds.
Male | 24
It sounds like the person might be experiencing what's called a "literature-induced headache," which occurs briefly and intermittently. Although this seems harmless, it's advisable to consult a neurologist for a proper evaluation. They specialize in conditions affecting the nervous system, including headaches, and can provide appropriate advice and treatment.

Male | 28
The point to notice is that the symptoms may return even if the surgery is successful. It is strongly recommended that you contact your neurosurgeon's office or orthopedic spine clinic to uncover the title source of your bilateral hand symptoms.

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'm a 35 year old man. I have numbness in both my hands for the last 4 days and today my lips are also numb. What should I do?
Male | 25
It might be numbness of hands and lips which could be a nerve problem. The main causes can be a lack of vitamins or compression of nerves. Make sure that your meals are diversified. Rather, try different procedures of raising your hands and be careful to keep the pressure off the nerves. Ask a neurologist to rule out possible causes if symptoms don't disappear or worsen.

Male | 69
It is normal to have high blood pressure after a stroke. These blood pressure rises could be because of the brain damage that regulates the level of pressure. Furthermore, hypertension is often asymptomatic however it can cause additional strokes. Ensure that he takes his medication, eats well, and goes for check-ups regularly.

Male | 18
Previously you were capable of studying for as long as 14-16 hours even after sleeping for 6 hours but now you seem to get sleepy very often. These signs may either come from a respiratory infection or allergic reactions. You must consult a neurologist for a definite diagnosis and a correct treatment.

Im experiencing stiffness in my neck and upper back and have trouble swallowing food and water but i dont have any pain in my throat. There's unusual pressure in my throat which feels heavy and feels like my throat will break if turn my head .
Male | 20
You may have muscle spasms in your neck and upper back. This could make swallowing difficult, without throat pain. The throat pressure feeling could result from muscle tightness. Try gentle neck stretches. Apply heat to affected areas. Stay hydrated. Avoid sudden neck movements. If symptoms persist or worsen, see a neurologist. They can evaluate and guide you further.

Hi in October 2022 my cpk was 2000 plus and crp was 12. Diagnosed with IIM. My leg muscles were affected that time. Early ild effects in chest ct scan. Started taking prednisone mmf 1500. But in Oct 2023 my voice is also affected can't speak now. Myositis panel of antibodies negative But Achr antibodies positive and ace levels are high. Still cpk is 1800 and hscrp is 17. 86. Diagnosed with myasthenia gravis and taking prednisone mmf and pyridostigmine now. Taken ivig also but still no improvement in voice and weakness. Recently I had severe diarrhea due to high dose of mmf. I want to know will rituximab treatment will be helpful for me. As my doctor is planning for that but now my cd 19 levels also high. Kindly suggest helpful which and what treatment is suitable and advisable.
Female | 54
It seems you're dealing with health issues like myositis and myasthenia gravis, which weaken muscles affecting your legs and voice. Since previous treatments haven’t helped, your doctor suggests rituximab to reduce inflammation and improve symptoms. Monitoring is important due to high CD19 levels. Be sure to discuss any concerns or side effects with your neurologist.

I am a neuro patient,I am suffering from brain tumour,I have undergone radiosurgery proton beam therapy, But now I feel mentally very week,I am a service holder but I am not able to take work pressure So I want to know is there any solution of these problem
Female | 46
You find yourself to be mentally down as a result of the treatment, which was proton beam therapy for your brain tumor. This is a natural outcome because the treatment hurts the healthy brain tissue. Some usual symptoms are fatigue, memory problems, and a problem concentrating. Make sure you rest, eat the right foods, and keep in contact with your healthcare team. Alongside counseling, look into this support program for a solution.

There is pain that I feel on the right side of my forehead and I feel the pain when I touch it,I think my skull has a Crack...What must I do and I have headaches
Male | 17
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.

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.

Please I'm 20 years old, please I've been experiencing severe dizziness these days and I don't know what is causing that. It actually started last 2 years but when it comes and I relax on bed it'll suddenly go itself but since Wednesday 5th June, 2025 till now it's not going no matter how long I rest it's still not going and I don't know the cause. Please is there anything I must know
Male | 20
Dizziness is often caused by things like not drinking enough water, having low blood sugar, problems with the inner ear, or even just feeling stressed out. It might be best if this has been happening for some time to go and see a doctor. The appointment would be with a healthcare provider who can know why you feel dizzy and will treat you.

Hi sir/madam, I'm Suffering from right eye swelling,redness from past 25 days... recently I have visited a hospital and got my cerebral Angiogram test done...it was found that there is Dural arterveinous fistulae along bilateral cavernous sinuses nd clivus draining into bilateral petrosal sinuses and right superior opthalmic vein...which is causing swelling of eye,redness,watery eyes...They have suggested an exercise near neck(compression) for this problem. my question is does this problem go away with this exercise? How common is this problem?Any medical emergency required?What is the cost for stereographic radiation therapy? Thank you.
Male | 52
The answer to your question depends on the cause of the dural arteriovenous fistulae. If it is caused by a congenital abnormality, exercise may help reduce the symptoms, but it is unlikely to completely resolve the condition. If the cause is a tumor or an aneurysm, then exercise may help reduce the symptoms, but a more comprehensive treatment plan may be required. The cost of stereotactic radiation therapy varies depending on the institution providing the therapy. It is best to seek advice from a specialist to determine the best course of treatment.

I’m 28 years old female..I have this right side temple and eye pain…it comes and goes..a dull pain..im a shortsighted person..can it be due to my sight problem or could it be a sinus problem??
Female | 28
The pain in your right temple and eye could be due to your shortsightedness, as eye strain can cause headaches. However, it could also be related to sinus issues. I recommend visiting an ophthalmologist to check your vision and an ENT specialist to rule out sinus problems.

My partner has had a total of 3 seizures from overdoses. She's sober now & I really need to know the health implications, mainly in relation to brain function / impairment. The reason I am even more worried on top of the seizures, is that during each one her whole body would go limp, and her eyes would go blank. I don't mean like looking forward, I mean a legitimate dead look to it, a glaze, I was somewhat reminded of cataracts; seemed as if her actual soul was disconnected from her body & her lips would start going gray/blue; shallow breathing if any at all during this specific part. Put simply, it looks as if she was momentarily dead..
Female | 24
Her seizures from overdoses are a serious concern. If your partner is sober now, it is important for her to visit a neurologist to treat any long-term effects of her overdoses.

Have a pulsating headache on both sides of my head since a month
Female | 18
Steady throbbing in your head for a month straight is a real downer. That might mean tension headaches. Stress, no sleep, eyes straining too much - those things can cause them. Take breaks from computer screens. Relax your body and mind. Sleep enough hours each night. Pain relievers you can buy without a prescription might help. Drink lots of water, too. But if the headaches won't go away, you should visit a neurologist to get checked out properly.
