You could be experiencing the symptoms of the condition called "Prosopagnosia" which is difficulty in recognizing faces, colors, and places. It can also be memory, hearing, and eyesight affected. This condition arises from a problem in the brain. One way of managing it is to use voice cues and notice features of people to recognize them. It's good to contact a neurologist to get the proper instructions.

My father is now 78 years old and before 8 months he was having stroke and now it’s recovered, today morning his face started swelling mainly both lower & upper lips.
Male | 78
Swelling in the face, particularly around the lips, may result from a number of causes like allergies, infections, or fluid retention. It is beneficial that your father has returned to his healthy state after his stroke, but any new symptoms should not be neglected. This swelling maybe developed into an allergy or it would be a causal issue. I suggest you consult a neurologist.They will do tests on him to identify the problem before they decide on treatment.

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.

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.

I am suffering from 20 years headache and vomiting .Now I am taking medicine with my psychiatrist phycian. Some time I feel batter after taking medicine and some time I feel bad.
Female | 43
It is possible to have headaches and nausea coming from different causes such as stress, tension, or medical disorders that are hidden. The likelihood that your pain changes with medicine implies that either the dose or the type needs to be altered. I recommend you communicate constantly with your psychiatrist to manage the problem efficiently. Keeping a symptom diary is one way to determine the patterns and triggers. Alternatively, try mind-body exercises or changes in lifestyle as they will undoubtedly help to get relief. You can consult a neurologist for advice.

Severe headache and small bump in the right side of head
Male | 21
It may be a result of a recent head injury or tension headache, among other risks. The bump could be a consequence of the pain. One of the ways that can be helpful is to put a cold pack on top of the bump. Lie down afterward for a short rest. If this still doesn't go away, it is advisable to ask for a healthcare professional's opinion for your own safety.

Frequent headache and weeknes and dizziness and ice craving
Female | 15
Fatigue, headaches, weakness, and dizzy spells together with enjoying taking ice could be signs of a disease known as iron deficiency anemia. The blood lacks iron in a sufficient amount, which can result in your feeling tired and dizzy. Upgrading your diet with more of the foods with a high iron content like spinach and beans can be effective, and your doctor may prescribe you iron tablets. It is a must for you to get checked by a neurologist for the exact diagnosis and the appropriate treatment.

Getting dizziness in the evening while walking ir imbalance Age 60 years diabetis 160 to 220 bp 90 to 140 angioplasty done in March 2023
Male | Vinayak mistry
Feeling dizzy or unsteady, particularly at night, can be quite scary. The condition of your blood sugar level and the up-down movement of blood pressure could be the primary reasons for such a state, especially after the latest heart procedure. Things like dehydration, tiredness, or drugs' secondary reactions can be the real issue. To not let those symptoms of discomfort wash away your good health, be sure to drink plenty of water, have a balanced diet, and keep an eye on your blood pressure levels regularly. It is important to bring up these feelings with your neurologist who can give you a personalized plan and make an appropriate change to your present treatment.

You seem to feel weakened as your legs are not strong. Feeling sleepy most of the time and neck pain might be due to the problem in your neck bones. Not being hungry is also one of the consequences of the issue. Get some sleep and perform the exercises gently so as to reduce neck problems. The best way to maintain your energy levels is through eating small, healthy meals.

Sir I have had two foot foot drop for the last few years, let me know the solution
Male | 42
The best solution for foot drop is usually an AFO (ankle-foot orthosis) brace. This brace helps to keep the ankle in the correct position and supports the foot, allowing you to lift it more easily. Your doctor may also recommend physical therapy or other treatments, such as electrical stimulation or surgery, to help strengthen and improve the function of the muscles in your foot and ankle.
