I am 18 years old boy and I have very mild epilepsy and I am on medication and not getting seizures. I want to take L- Citrulline as a pre-workout supplement. Is it safe ?

Answered on 19th Sept '24
L-Citrulline is a supplement that is usually safe, but if you have epilepsy and are already taking medication, it is better to be careful. L-Citrulline may interfere with the medication you are taking for epilepsy, so it is best to consult a neurologist before introducing it to your routine. Your doctor will make sure it won't create any difficulties for you.

Hi sir / mam My self Paras Agrawal from Indore , I am having sharp headache one just above the right side eye . Pls guide me for cure and treatment .
Male | 35
You probably have a migraine. A migraine can be characterized by a very severe stabbing headache over one side of the head. Other symptoms you may encounter are light and sound sensitivity. Stress, a lack of sleep, some foods, or hormonal changes are among the common causes. For example, you can use these methods if you have headaches: try to rest in a dark, quiet room, drink plenty of water, and avoid triggers like caffeine and processed foods.

I am 27 years old female , day before yesterday I fell in bathroom and hot my front and back side of the head . After that till now I'm having nausea and headache.
Female | 27
The fall might indicate a concussion, which can happen from bumps or blows to the head. Common symptoms include recurring nausea or headaches. It's important to rest and avoid activities that stimulate your mind, like watching TV or using screens. If symptoms worsen or you have trouble thinking, go to a hospital.

I'm from the country and all waste water accumulates in a septic tank. My parents don't usually call that truck home to dump the contents, they take care of it by dumping all the liquid in their own garden on a corn crop. Indeed, we do not actually eat the corn, but we do eat the rest of the nearby plants. But the birds they have, and from which we consume the eggs, consume some of that corn. I am very concerned about my physical health, especially my brain, and my fear is that I may have ingested substances from detergents/toothpaste over time, such as fluoride, which I know is neurotoxic, or other strong substances, etc. . . The usual analyzes always turned out fine for me. I drew their attention to these things and they told me that there are other people who do the same thing and apparently nothing happened. Should I worry/do something about it? I'm thinking that maybe those substances in the detergents and everything that gets there affect the nervous system, the brain. The plants in the garden show no signs of damage, probably because the detergents contain substances similar to fertilizers. Also, I'm wondering if from the feces, if some guest is infected with some parasite, and they then end up on the soil, can I also get them through the plants and affect components of my SN? Does all this accumulate in them? I can't stop eating food/eggs from home because I just started college, I have 6 more years until I can choose what and when to eat, have my own salary. I was thinking that for my own peace of mind, I would have a brain MRI this year to make sure everything is ok, as well as the usual urine test, which he can arrange for from the GP. Do you think it's okay?
Male | 18
While it's natural to worry, it's unlikely that the small amount of substances from detergents or toothpaste in the water would cause significant harm to your brain. Eating the food grown in the garden is generally safe, as plants can filter out harmful substances. It's encouraging to know that your health reports are okay. Getting a brain MRI and urine test for peace of mind is a proactive step, and it's okay to do.

My mother has migraine headache... She has taken vasograin tablet but there is no improvement which tablet we should give to her now ?
Female | 40
Your mom suffers from migraines – intense headaches causing throbbing pain and nausea. Vasograin didn't provide relief. Paracetamol is another medication that reduces discomfort. Rest in a dimly lit, quiet space can also help. If symptoms persist, consult a neurologist for advanced treatment options.

I am 66 years old.Iam having sensorineural hearing loss since 2021.Iam not able to hear without hearing aid.is it possible to reverse my hearing.
Male | 66
Sensorineural hearing loss happens when hair cells in the inner ear are damaged. This condition is common and can't be reversed, but hearing aids can help by making sounds louder and reducing noise. It's important to protect your ears from loud noises to prevent further damage. Regular check-ups with an audiologist are essential for effective treatment.

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.

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.

Male | 46
Symptoms such as fever, headache, throwing up, diarrhea, and nervousness could point towards a stomach bug or food poisoning. These might also leave you feeling light-headed or generally unwell. Make sure to drink enough water, get plenty of rest, and stick with bland foods if this is what you’re going through. If your condition doesn’t improve or gets worse than before, please see a doctor so they can examine you properly and give appropriate treatment options.

I have been diagnosed with IIH. Could I work in a hospital with equipment that use electromagnetic radiation in the future if I get a shunt placement ? Will it affect my shunt valve settings?
Female | 27
Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension (IIH) can cause headaches and vision problems due to increased pressure around the brain. One common treatment is shunt placement, a tube that drains excess fluid. Working with radiation equipment in a hospital is unlikely to affect your shunt, as shunt valves are not impacted by electromagnetic radiation.

Good day doctor Since childhood, I have always been pressing on my nerves and muscles throughout my body, and I can't control myself. It's like grinding teeth, but in my body, and it's voluntary. These are not spasms; I do them, but I can't stop them. When I try to stop myself, I feel like I'm going to explode. The issue was minor in childhood and significantly reduced during adolescence almost to the point of disappearing. However, over the past few years, the problem has worsened significantly. Currently, I'm squeezing my body's vertebrae, especially my neck, and I feel like it's twisting. I consulted a psychiatrist and neurologist who said there is no organic issue, just a bit of anxiety. I took medications for anxiety and stress, but there was no effect. Thank you very much for your time
Male | 34
The nature of your symptoms probably is involuntary muscle contractions or muscle spasms. It is necessary to have the condition assessed by a neurologist who specializes in movement disorders or a physiotherapist who will be able to look at your condition in person and guide you properly.

Hello my grandfather had a paralyse on left arm and left leg 6 years ago. For this years was good, only arm and leg has difficulty to move.yesterday he has a blood pressure was 20, and couldn’t move.Now is in his bed and just stays with close eyes. We speak to him and he just open the eyes and didn’t speak since yesterday. One doctor said that he may have Covid and is ranked. I am worried about this
Male | 80
A sudden drop in blood pressure, especially to a level as low as 20, is a medical emergency that requires immediate attention. It can lead to less blood flow to vital organs, including the brain, and result in symptoms such as loss of consciousness and difficulty moving. These are serious symptoms pls don't ignore those. Your neurologist and their hospital team can guide you with treatment.

You seem down about not smelling or tasting. Plus, that headache is tough. A cold or sinus issue might cause this. Stay hydrated. Rest up. Try decongestants and antihistamines if needed. But if it worsens or lingers, see a doctor.

Male | 30
You could be experiencing pain in your left temple which spreads to the neck. One reason for this might be stress, poor posture, or even tension. Also, looking at screens for too long could cause similar discomfort. Please take regular screen breaks and maintain good sitting or standing posture. Additionally, gentle neck exercises can help. Consult a neurologist if the pain doesn't go away.

I am 58 years old, I suffer mnd, how to cure it?
Male | 58
MND is short for motor neuron disease. A few standard symptoms of this disease are muscle weakness, twitching, and trouble walking. What happens is that the nerve cells controlling movement gradually die off, causing MND. Unfortunately, there is currently no cure for it. Though, treatments exist that can help to manage symptoms and improve your quality of life. For example, physical therapy may be used alongside drugs to enhance mobility and comfort levels. You must collaborate closely with a neurologist so that they can figure out the most suitable treatment plan for you.
