You have done well by observing that your seizures change when you take Epilim or not. Ensure to let your doctor know your intentions. They can assist in identifying a suitable drug and dosage that will help manage the condition without harming the fetus.

Hello sir, I have a pain in my left side skul part ...it had so many years .but now thepain gets worst...more pain...that pain passes to the left sideof ear ,eye, throat, hand also ...and one more thing is...now left eye is getting pain and falls tears also...what is this symptoms
Female | 26
You could be undergoing a migraine experience. Migraines can bring about severe pain in the head which is usually unilateral. It can then spread from the eye, ear, throat, and sometimes even to tearing. Going through the menopause, you may have seasonal hormonal changes. Most people feel that climate change can trigger migraines. To try to avoid migraines, note what triggers to look for, practice some relaxation techniques, and get over-the-counter drugs used with guidance under the care of your doctor could be some good ideas.

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.

Hello. I am a male about to marry a 23 y/o female who at the age of 19 was diagnosed with Focal Epilepsy Affecting Frontal Lobe. I am trying to see whether it is a good idea to marry and start a family with this girl. The problem is her head and eyes move to the right when she has an episode which is usually triggered by eye contact and nervousness. So her neurologist perscribed Lacosamide twice a day which she says has prevented her from having an episode in over a year, but I want to check with you if this is true/common? Also will her illness get worse later down the line especially when we start having kids? Will it spread to other parts of the brain and what will happen if that occurs? She says the side effects of the medicine is she gets drowsy and sleepy sometimes, how often does that last? Thank you.
Female | 23
While Lacosamide can effectively prevent epilepsy episodes, its side effects like drowsiness are common. It's advisable to consult with a neurologist regarding the long-term effects of epilepsy and its potential impact on family planning. Specialists like neurologists can provide personalized guidance based on individual health conditions.

Doctor I am a male of 45 year from Africa i feel this heaviness (dizziness) in the head and fatigue whenever i walk a little distance or engage in strenous work. I did ECG and ECHO2D tests. The doctor said nothing was wrong with my heart . I check my BP regularly. I am not hypertensive. I engage in regular fitness exercise . Yet this heaviness in the head and tiredness doesn't want to stop. I need your urgent reply. Pat.
Male | 45
It’s good that you’ve ruled out heart issues and hypertension. However, the persistent heaviness in the head and fatigue could be related to other causes such as anemia, thyroid issues, or even stress and anxiety. I would recommend visiting an internal medicine specialist or a neurologist for a thorough evaluation to pinpoint the cause and get appropriate treatment.

I am a healthy 67 year old, recently I have ɓeen falling down and it takes me over an hour to get myself back up. I don't have diabetes, or high blood pressure, or any heart problems. What could cause something like this??
Female | Tina Carlson
One possible cause of this is muscle weakness or loss of balance due to old age; problems like these can make it more difficult for you to stand back up. You need to talk to a neurologist about it. They might suggest some exercises that will help improve your strength and stability, as well as other treatments aimed at preventing future falls.

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.

Why's there a sudden moving sensation in the body? There has been a feeling of something growing inside the left side of the head, like a tingling/burning sensation (I hope I explained myself properly). On the nerves or inside the brain I don't understand. Sometimes there's a pain on the back side of the head too (mostly on the right side). What do these symptoms indicate?
Female | 37
These signs may indicate a neurological disorder and require consultation with a neurologist. Seeking the help of a specialist is necessary for proper diagnosis and treatment.

I advise you to get a pediatric neurologist and make an appointment as soon as possible for your daughter and her problems. A solitary nerve damage from a seizure on the right side of her brain might necessitate more tests and/or treatment.

Your head hurts on the right side, near your ear. It could be stress, lack of sleep, or not drinking enough water. Try resting, staying hydrated, and reducing stress. If the pain doesn't go away, consider taking over-the-counter pain relief medicine or visit a neurologist.

Headache, shrinking of hands and legs, foaming at the mouth
Male | 35-40
Severe head pain which radiates to the neck with stiffening neck and the legs and foaming at the mouth are potential symptoms that can be addressed as epilepsy. Epilepsy is a disorder of the brain characterized by the occurrence of abnormal electrical activity, sending inappropriate signals through the nervous system. It is of course injuriously crucial to make it the first choice to see a specialist doctor in case of these symptoms. The common method for the treatment of epilepsy is drug use for control of the seizure and prevention of a future occurrence.

Male | Abbas Alam
You are feeling pain in your hand and back that is accompanied by a tingling sensation in your whole body. The above-stated symptoms might be a result of the neck problem known as a cervical issue. The pain and tingling sensation in your hand and back can be because the nerves in your neck are affected. You must go to a neurologist to get the right diagnosis and treatment. In the meantime, you should make sure to avoid things that cause your symptoms to worsen and also practice good posture.

What happens if someone eats 6 pills of neurobion forte tablets.
Female | 37
Taking 6 neurobion forte pills in one go may seem harmless but actually can prove dangerous. It is possible for the person to experience stomach pain, vomiting, and dizziness after inhaling this drug. This is due to the body becoming overloaded with certain nutrients. In this case, you should drink a lot of water, rest, and consume light foods. It's crucial not to exceed the dosage prescribed by your doctor. If the situation worsens, get in touch with a doctor.

Why does my mind feel clear and I got tap water up my nose is my mind feeling clear a symptom of the brain eating amoeba?
Male | 15
Getting tap water in your nose won't give you brain-eating amoeba. When water enters through nostrils, it brings sensation of mental clarity due to temperature difference. However, that amoeba is very uncommon, causing severe signs like intense headaches, fever, and disorientation. Avoid letting water enter the nose, especially in warm freshwater regions. But feeling refreshed after accidental nasal water entry doesn't indicate the presence of that frightening amoeba.

Good evening. I'm 21 years old, I have been noticing a numbness to my pinky finger of my right hand for quite some while now, it could literally last some hours, sometimes a day, it happens like once in a week. Whenever I have this numbness, I can move the other fingers, but the pinky finger sometimes affects my fourth finger,the finger beside it. Please what can I do?.
Male | 21
You might have a problem with a nerve in your arm that's causing your pinky and sometimes your ring finger to feel numb. This can happen if you put a lot of pressure on your elbow or do activities like typing for a long time. Try not to lean on your elbow too much or do activities that worsen it. You can also try gentle stretches to relax your hand. If the numbness continues then consult a neurologist for a proper diagnosis and treatment plan.
