Answered on 23rd May '24
In case you are suffering from epilepsy, ensure that you adhere to the doctor’s prescription regarding your medication. It is still important to keep taking medicine even if you do not get many seizures as this will help reduce chances of more occurring. Medication manages seizures; it does not cure them though. Always remember that it is necessary to consult a neurologist before changing any of your drugs.

Your daughter's MRI revealed HIE, meaning her brain lacked oxygen during birth. This condition, hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy, can lead to seizures, feeding difficulties, and developmental delays. Therapies and medications may help her brain recover. Regular checkups will monitor her progress closely.

BUT SIR I HAVE NO OTHER SYMPTOMS OTHER THAN EXCESSIVE YAWNING AND SLEEPY FEEL
Male | 18
Excessive yawning and feeling sleepy even when there are no other symptoms can sometimes be due to lack of proper quality sleep. It is also linked to the feeling of being slightly down or the deficit of air. Try going to bed earlier and have a good sleep routine. Get outside for a breathe of fresh air each day to be active a little more.

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.

The neurologist did MRI and meanwhile she was loosing her eye sight gradually . Neurologist suggested to immediately move to bigger hospital , on the same night patient was admitted to jipmer multi-speciality hospital (Govt owned).

But all the reports are coming as negative nothing is diagnosed, meanwhile they are providing treatment like plasma therapy and patient totally lost vision, speech, mobility. Not sure what to do , can someone help us with further directions.
Female | 21
The person who lost vision, speech, and mobility is not positive news. Given the negative reports so far, it's clear that we have other plans in mind. Rare conditions also are a factor that needs to be considered. This included Acute Disseminated Encephalomyelitis (ADEM) or any other rare unknown, and often under-reported neurological disorders that might be the cause of these symptoms. Discuss these issues with a neurologist for the best treatment.

my daughter is one and a half years old. he has fits & breathing issue. born in the 8th month.
Female | 1
Your daughter's breathing issues might indicate seizures. Prematurity raises risks for such problems. Young children can have seizures from fevers or brain conditions. See a pediatric neurologist for evaluation and treatment. Staying composed and documenting seizures aids the doctor's understanding. Seizures in kids sometimes stem from various reasons like high temperatures or neurological factors.

Hi, muze pahli bar chakkar aaye hai sath me ulti jaisa bhi hua, aur , rat me sote samay bhi right side ,turn Kiya seer ghumne lagta hai iska karna jan na chahta hu please kuch bataye iske bare me.
Male | 23
Based on the symptoms you have described, there is a huge chance that you may have vertigo, which is a disease that causes a man to feel dizzy and unstable. This may be due to malfunctions in the inner ear or injury of the brain. Sometimes the position you sleep in, turning to one side, may trigger these symptoms. Try to avoid sudden head movements, drink enough water, and get enough sleep to help. If the symptoms don't go away, see a neurologist for more tests.

You have been feeling a ringing in your ears with racing thoughts and eye redness when you focus too much. Stress or anxiety can be the reason for these symptoms. To help relax your mind, you can try deep breathing exercises, meditation, or gentle yoga. Apart from that, listening to soothing music or taking a nature walk might also help you in reducing stress.

My dad is 70 yrs old, had seizures since last October, diagnosed with testicular tumour and hypertension, an operation was done and he was OK, then the seizures recurred again about 6 times since January but last night was the worst. Please help me We're in a war zone and can't take to a hospital What can I do ?
Male | 70
Seizures can be scary, especially when they happen often. In his case, they might be due to the testicular tumor or other health issues. To help him, keep him safe during a seizure by moving away harmful objects and laying him on his side. Comfort him and stay with him until it ends. Watch for any new symptoms and, if possible, gently clean any wounds he may have gotten. It's important to stay calm and supportive. Although you can't go to a hospital right now, keep monitoring his condition and get medical help as soon as possible.
