Why do I have persistent brain fog?
I am 22 years old guyFor the past 2 weeks i have been feeling brain fog. I feel like a robot and it feels like i am not aware of my surroundings very well and i lack clarity. Although i am able to complete everyday tasks and even communicate properly. I have noticed when I indulge myself into something for a moment it gets a little better but then again i start feeling it again. I was going to gym regularly and pushing hard. Moreover i was also consuming coffee before workout and whey protein. For a first few days it was for shorter period and then i was fine but now its been two weeks its constant. I have left everything but still it persists. I think it might be an anxiety. But i have never been diagnosed with it or any mental issues. On the other hand i wear spectacles I thought maybe it was due to that i got my eyesight checked they say its the same. So now i am very worried. Please let me know what should i do. Thank u very much.

Brain fog can cause dullness and difficulty concentrating. It may be triggered by stress, lack of sleep, poor diet, or certain medications. By cutting out coffee and workout-boosting herbs, you're already on the path to recovery. To help clear the fog, focus on getting enough sleep, eating a balanced diet, staying hydrated, and practicing calming activities like meditation or walking. If symptoms persist, it's best to consult a neurologist.

My grandfather age is 69 he has second brain stroke before 5 month today his throat is peining (nv tude is use to feeding) please doctor tell is any problem related to stroke
Male | 69
Often after a stroke, people can have problems swallowing. This is called dysphagia. It can be painful to the throat and hence eating or drinking becomes difficult. This is because the muscles associated with swallowing may not work properly after a stroke. Discuss this with your neurologist to accomplish feeding and avoid any complications.

My father was brain damage any way for thi its his 3rd time sir
Male | 45
Damage reaches the brain due to being hit in the head, suffering a stroke, or infections inside the skull. Patients' problems can be related to memory loss, speech problems, and muscle issues. It's essential to seek immediate medical attention from a neurologist, especially if this is the third occurrence of brain damage.

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.

Male | 28
The ailments you mentioned, such as pounding pain, sleepiness, and fatigue are normal for a concussion. Drink no alcohol and take it easy, but don't sleep now. See if you can manage to stay awake for a few hours and check your symptoms. Go to the doctor in case the symptoms become more serious.

My legs are having weakness. Feel like sleeping a lot. Neck pain due to cervical slso. Don't feel like eating anything
Female | 48
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.

I am a 60 years old woman and I have Chiari malformation syndrom since 20 years
Female | 60
Chiari malformation syndrome occurs when the lower region of the brain known as the cerebellum gets compressed through the skull hole that permits the spinal cord to pass. It can lead to symptoms such as headaches, neck pain, dizziness, or walking problems. Treatment can be routine medications for the symptoms and sometimes surgery to relieve the pressure on the brain. Discuss your symptoms with your neurologist.

I have this cold numbing sensation going down my left shin. Also, my left shin is colder to the touch then my right shin.
Female | 42
You could probably have a situation that is called peripheral neuropathy, something that has to do with the nerves that send signals to your leg and possibly there is a problem with that. This can be the reason why you feel the numbing sensation and the difference in temperature between your shins. It's best to have a neurologist check this out to determine the cause and talk about treatment options.

I am a nurve patient, but my disease is not anymore, then also I am taking medicine, So my question is that within how many days can I decrease medicine power
Male | 25
When symptoms disappear, it indicates that the treatment is working. For nerve problems, the patient should gradually change medication. The body needs time, usually a few months, to adjust to a new dose before considering reducing it. If you rush this process, symptoms may return.

Male | 38
Dizziness lasting days may arise from various causes. Ear issues like BPPV or Meniere's disease could trigger dizzy spells. Low blood sugar or dehydration also causes dizziness sometimes. Staying hydrated and eating regularly helps prevent this. However, if dizziness persists despite remedies, consulting a doctor becomes crucial. They can pinpoint the underlying reason and recommend suitable treatment.

It's the middle of the night and I keep stretching my legs my arms and everything continuously and it's driving me crazy and I don't seem to fall asleep what's wrong with me??
Female | 15
You might be feeling the restless legs syndrome. It is a kind of disorder that can lead to you wanting to move your legs (or even hands) all the time, especially during the night. It can greatly affect the process of falling asleep. Restless legs syndrome is usually due to low iron, numerous medications, or other health conditions. Reaching the reason beneath it and then applying some life changes can help. Visit a health specialist for a personalized answer.

Your friend could be having a panic attack. A state where the person has rapid breathing, cold hands and feet, sweaty palms, and feeling unable to move is the most common one during a panic attack. The reasons may be different but the stress or anxiety stage is often the cause. Advise your friend to breathe slowly and deeply to stay calm and composed. Offer them strong reassurance and be a steady presence to help them through it.

My name Rizwan I want to know why my upper head having low pain and sometimes number and ears too numb What is the issue
Male | 25
You might have tension headaches. They cause mild upper head pain and numb ears. Common culprits? Stress piles on. Poor posture adds strain. Staring at screens strains eyes. Relax, give your body a break. Do some easy neck and shoulder stretches. Look away from screens often. Stay hydrated, young friend. Sleep enough hours at night. If symptoms persist or worsen, see a neurologist soon.

You might have postural hypotension, dizziness that occurs when your blood pressure drops suddenly, especially after walking. This may cause you to feel unsteady or dizzy. You should drink plenty of water and move slowly. You may need to change your medicine or lifestyle to get help.

Often my kidneys hurts. I feel dizziness when i tries to stand up and ajeeb si bechaini ha sotay hue… Sonetimes i feel fever too
Female | 18
Dizziness when you get up and your fast heart rate could be due to low blood pressure. Headaches, back pain, and kidney pain can come from dehydration or stress. To keep your body hydrated, drink lots of water, eat good food, and sleep well. If the symptoms continue, go to a clinic for a health check-up.

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.

Your dad has too much fluid in his body, causing swelling everywhere. This condition is called Anasarca. It does not get better after death. Heart issues, kidney troubles, and liver disease are some reasons for Anasarca. Talk to your neurologist about your worries. They can guide and support you through this.

Hi there, I'm a 34 year old woman, and I've been experiencing a persistent headache behind my ear on the right side. It's been bothering me for the past week, and I'm starting to get concerned. The pain is sharp and seems to be concentrated in that area. I've tried over-the-counter pain relievers, but they don't provide much relief. I'm wondering if anyone else has dealt with a similar issue or if there are specific treatments or remedies I should consider for this headache behind my ear on the right side. Any advice or insights would be greatly appreciated.
