You might have Paresthesia. It is caused by damage to the nerves and may result in numbness or tingling. Visiting a Neurologist may be advisable for examination and diagnosis.

Seizures and severe discomfort may occur due to her taking carbamazepine. Report these symptoms to her doctor, who may adjust her medication or dosage after further examination. A neurologist visit can ensure she receives the right treatment.

Shaking, racing heart, weakness, balance issues, and fast thinking are signs of different issues. Low blood sugar due to a poor diet, anxiety, or other medical conditions can be the cause. It's important to get help. For now, consume something with sugar, such as a piece of fruit or a teaspoon of honey. Do not forget to see a neurologist and get a proper evaluation.

I have adhd and have concerta perscribed to me and recently got a bladder stone, they gave me 2 5mg pills of oxycodone hydrochloride to take if my pain comes back and it has come back now. so my question is can i take oxycodone hydrochloride and Methylphenidate Hydrochloride (ritalin/concerta) together?
Male | 21
I won't recommend you to take oxycodone hydrochloride and Methylphenidate Hydrochloride (ritalin/concerta) together. You should consult with a neurologist first. Both medicines can have stimulant effects on the body and may interact with each other, potentially leading to serious side effects.

"Hello, I am a 23-year-old woman weighing 36 kg. I ingested 50 mg of amitriptyline all at once on Sunday, December 1, 2024, at 1 pm. After the ingestion, I slept for around 24 hours and did not experience any severe symptoms during the first 48 hours, which made me believe I was in the clear. My prescribed dose is 10 mg twice a day for amitriptyline. I have IBS. However, I am now experiencing dizziness and lightheadedness, which started today, December 3, 2024, at 8 pm. This symptom did not occur earlier, and I am concerned that it might be related to the overdose. Could this dizziness or lightheadedness be a delayed effect of the overdose? Is this symptom potentially serious, and should I take any immediate actions or seek further medical evaluation? Should I wait before resuming my regular prescribed dose of amitriptyline, or do I need to undergo any tests or monitoring before restarting my medication?"
Female | 23
It is possible to experience dizziness and lightheadedness following consumption of higher doses of amitriptyline, even in a delayed manner. Considering your weight and the amount you took, it will be important to keep an eye on these symptoms. I urge you to go to a healthcare professional for assessment as quickly as you can.

Male | 23
The pain might be due to nerve compression affecting the L3, L4, L5, and S1 vertebrae in your legs. It's best to see a neurologist, as they specialize in this area. They might suggest medications to reduce pain and inflammation. Physiotherapy and simple exercises could help relieve the pain and strengthen your back and core muscles, which will benefit your health in the long run.

I am 25 years old, I am an epilepsy patient, Can I reduce my medicine ? I took medicine for epilepsy since I am child I didn't get seizure often , in 2019 I am get seizure Sir , is it cure or not ?
Female | 25
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.

You could be having some pain on the left side of your head leading to anxiety and pain in your left body side. Such signs may result from tension, lack of enough sleep, or dehydration. Drink water, have some sleep then try doing deep breathing exercises which can help reduce this pain.

Some of the things that can cause daily headaches are stress, sleep deprivation, and poor diet. Drinking enough water, getting regular sleep, and learning how to deal with stress healthily are all important for our health.

What or might make me have an headache and when am relaxing hear sounds like heart beat or the clock ticking at the back of my head
Male | 24
If you hear your heartbeat or other sounds in the head, you may have a condition known as pulsatile tinnitus. This may be caused by increased blood flow near the ears or changes in the blood vessels. It can also be associated with headaches at times. Keep track of any other symptoms you may experience and consult a healthcare professional for proper diagnosis and treatment guidance.

Is this situation is curable. What is the life expectancy in mctd with mg
Female | 55
It seems you might be dealing with Mixed Connective Tissue Disease (MCTD) along with Myasthenia Gravis (MG). In this condition, the immune system attacks healthy tissues, leading to symptoms like muscle weakness, fatigue, and shortness of breath. While there is no miracle cure, treatment options can help manage the symptoms. With the right care and treatment, many people can still enjoy a good quality of life.

I used tap water to flush my nose out as I was congested before realising and then about 1 hour later used boiled water as I know it shouldn’t be tap water I’m In Northern Ireland what are chances of me getting brain infection I’m worried now No symptoms it was 2 days ago when will I know if I’m clear of infection
Female | 31
Using tap water to flush your nose can be unsafe. Tap water may have bad germs. But, do not worry too much about it. Getting a brain infection from this is very rare. Since you used boiled water later, you are likely safe. If you have no signs after two days, you are likely okay. But, look out for bad headaches, fever, or stiff neck. These could mean infection.

Feeling weak, nauseous, and getting headaches is normal after finishing malaria medication. Your body needs time to recover from the infection. Rest well. Drink lots of fluids. Eat healthy foods. It can take a while for your body to feel 100% again. If symptoms worsen or persist, consult your neurologist.

Parkinson's disease affects movement from brain cells misfiring. Early signs are shakes, stiffness, walking trouble. A cure hasn't been found yet, but medication can relieve symptoms. Physical activity and nutritious food also help manage the condition. If it worsens, surgery might be an option. Although it's difficult, stay hopeful and listen to your doctor for optimal treatment.

Hi! is epilepsy is cureable in the age of 20-25years old
Male | 22
Epilepsy causes seizures. They can be strong shakes or short blank spells. The reason could be genes or brain injuries. Epilepsy isn't cured, but medicine often helps. A neurologist helps find the right treatment. Seizures happen differently for each person. So working closely with a doctor is important.
