Why am I experiencing persistent headaches and speech problems?
I am 18 years old and I have been having headaches for 4 years now without it stopping, I have taken migraine tablets for 2 years but it hasn’t stop so I stopped taking medication after 2 years. I noticed that when I am at school I can’t focus properly or do my homework confidently. Also, I am having speaking problems like I don’t know what to say when someone ask me something like for instance what was your experience at this particular school ams also my hands feels stiff every day and my foot pound everyday as well

Migraines, often treated with medication, could be a reason for persistent headaches, making it a challenging condition to manage over the years. Struggling with school or communication difficulties might add to the burden. It's not normal to have sweaty hands and throbbing feet daily. These symptoms could indicate various issues, so it's important to consult a neurologist for the right diagnosis and treatment. Knowing the root cause is key to getting the proper care.

I have headache continuously. In my report of MRI it shows that I have preventricular cyst in my head Medicine is going on but I have headache What should I do
Female | 15
You may be suffering from a ventricular cyst, which is located near the brain. It is a fluid-filled sac near the brain. The reason that it causes headaches is often due to being under pressure. Adding to this, receiving regular medication, I recommend also not to forget being well-hydrated and staying stress-free. Were the pain to continue being severe or getting worse, you should report the headache to your neurologist for a new assessment and even alterations to the medications prescribed.

My daughter started having a severe headache 2 days ago with blurry and double vision and nausea. Yesterday she got it again but worse than the day before she said and this morning she had been having blood clots come out of her nose.
Female | 16
If your daughter is experiencing severe headaches, blurred or double vision, vomiting, or blood clots coming from her nose, these are something to be seriously worried about. The cause of all these might be high blood pressure, a head injury, or even a blood clot in her brain. Take her to the hospital immediately. Call an ambulance or take her to the emergency department so that they can diagnose and treat her properly.

Tooth ache Head ache at soft spot in head Difficulty talking Blurry vision on right eye expecially if I close and open it Fatigue Can't sit upright Can't stand upright Difficulty remembering things Facial pain Pressure on nose bridge Numb toe finger My neck feels like there's someone touching it taken pain relief but it doesn't do much
Female | 20
You have got a mix of symptoms that could be related to each other. Toothache, headache at the soft spot in your head, difficulty in talking, blurry vision, fatigue, and memory problems are the symptoms of neurologic problems or even vascular problems in the brain. The pressure on your nose bridge and the soreness of the face could be caused by sinus problems. Numbness in your toe finger is possibly caused by nerve compression issues. The neck pains and soreness during sitting or standing straight may be due to the spinal cord. It is important to see a neurologist promptly for a proper evaluation and treatment plan.

These could be from hormone changes, being too stressed, or even brain issues. It is very important to see a neurologist to find out why and get the right help. For now, rest lots, drink many fluids, and eat small healthy meals.

I have diagnosed epilepsy, and I currently take 200mg of lamotrigine. I am still experiencing frequent seizures and also cluster seizures. I would like to discuss if I would have any options to add another medication alongside lamotrigine to try and control my seizures.
Female | 26
You’re still having seizures despite taking lamotrigine. It’s a medication commonly used for epilepsy. When seizures continue, adding another medication may help control them. Your doctor may suggest options such as levetiracetam or valproic acid. These medicines work in different ways to prevent seizures. Discuss with your doctor to find the best option for you.

Head pain problems back said too painful my self
Male | 36
Your head hurts and your back too. This can be a result of nervousness, worry, and you might not even notice your sitting or looking at a screen. Give yourself time to walk around, stretch, and perform relaxation methods. You can also apply a warm compress to the painful areas and exercise walking Somewhat slow, easy walking, and jogging are also good for the body. And if the pain is still there, let a specialist examine it.

This is Geeta Hegde.My son Sooraj is taking medication for migraine headache from Monday October 7 th. prescribed by you sir.Headache is getting worse. Does he need to stop the medicine? Or continue taking it.Had MRI on Monday and everything was normal. Thank you.
Male | 18
If your son's migraine medication is making his headache worse, it's important to not stop or change the dosage on your own. Since the MRI results are normal, I suggest consulting the neurologist who prescribed the medicine. They will guide you on whether to adjust the medication or explore other treatment options.

Male | 54
Paralysis occurs when the brain can't send signals to certain body parts, causing them to stop moving. This can be due to causes like a stroke or injury. Physical therapy can help improve movement. It's important to consult a neurologist for proper treatment.

These symptoms can be caused by several reasons like allergies, dehydration, lack of sleep, stress, medication side effects.

I am a 14 year old female and i am having a small migrane on the left side on my head. just now when i was sitting down with my head slightly tilted a clear liquid of a few drops came out from my nose, i searched it up and it said something about CSF liquid? some liquid surrounding the brain or what. I just want to check if its nothing serious and if i can continue my day
Female | 14
Cerebrospinal Fluid (CSF) is a clear liquid that surrounds the brain. Sometimes, a small tear in the tissue around the brain can cause this fluid to leak through your nose. This may cause pressure or headaches on one side of your head. It’s important to rest and avoid activities that could worsen your condition. If your headache gets worse or you feel very unwell, visit a neurologist.

At the of ejaculation my head both side start severe pain....it is a major problem
Male | 45
Pain on both sides of your head after ejaculation could signify post-coital headache. This moderate to intense pain's exact cause remains unclear. However, it may link to altered blood flow or pressure. Stay hydrated, avoid strenuous sexual activity, and try relaxation techniques to manage it. But if pain persists or worsens, consulting a neurologist becomes crucial for evaluation and proper guidance.

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.

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.

Been having severe pains behind my head down to my neck and also numbness in my feet and my hands feel very light
Male | 32
These things could happen because of nerves. Nerves can get hurt in many ways. Bad posture, injuries, or sicknesses like diabetes can hurt nerves. To feel better, you need good posture. You need to move around. You need to eat good food. If you still feel these things, you should see a neurologist.

Female | 31
You might have an orthostatic headache. Standing up can cause brain fluid shifts, possibly leading to low blood pressure or dehydration. Make sure to stay hydrated, move slowly, and rest often. If the headache continues, see a neurologist.
