Iam 28 years Female. I took antidepressants for one month. After that iam facing jerking movement sensation in face and head.
Female | 28
The jerking movement sensations are a side effect of the antidepressant medication.Talk to your doctor they may recommend adjusting your dose or switching to a different medication. Donb't stop taking antidepressants without medical supervision as the discontinuation can lead to withdrawal symptoms.

I have Dystonia in my left Foot and Hand and so much pain. I can barely walk and this over 1 year. We tried things like Botox Injection and a lot of therapy but nothing helped. Is there any possibility for Deep Brain Stumulation?
Female | 18
I would suggest approaching to neurologist who specializes in movement disorders. DBS is one of the potential treatment options for dystonia and can be used based on a thorough evaluation by a specialist.

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.

Hi..I'm a 38 year old male and I suffer from seizures. The medication Im on is APO CABAMAZEPINE. Just afew years it started to happen but since on medication, it doesn't happen. My question to you is, Can I take herbal medicine while on my medication? I want to take Lions Mane , liquid form. Can I take it while on my medication? Thanks.
Male | 38
It's good to hear that your seizures are under control with APO Carbamazepine. However, when it comes to adding herbal medicines like Lion's Mane, it's important to be cautious. Some herbs can interact with your current medication and may affect its effectiveness. It's best to consult a neurologist before starting any new supplement or herbal treatment. They can give you the right advice based on your condition and medication.

I'm a practitioner in Navimumbai since 30yrs and my grand child 9months old normal mile stones till now normal , has started showing typical stereotyped movements in the upper limbs and my daughter being a ophthalmologist feels it is like infantile spasms. I'm worried. She stays in chattisgarh. What can be done? Kindly help Dr.
Male | 9months
Jerky motions in a baby's arms may be infantile spasms, a seizure disorder common around this age. These sudden twitches in limbs need medical care quickly. See a pediatric neurologist soon for proper tests and plan. Early action matters to avoid issues and help the baby's growth.

Am getting sudden pain on back of my head which lasts for hardly 10 sec and this happens the whole day with an interval of half an hour though the heaviness of my head is constant but the pain which last for short term is very severe and feels like someone is stabbing my head Am experiencing it from past 2 days
Female | 18
Tension headaches bring acute head pain, often at the back. It's stabbing, short-lived. Stress, poor posture, or eye strain may trigger it. Drink enough water. Take breaks from screens to rest eyes. Try relaxation methods. If the symptoms persist, see a neurologist.

I am here for my relative age 23 female. She have some mugrane and she take vivax 5 mg regular and naxdom tablet only when too much headache. But ,by mistake today after dinner she have taken three (3) Vivax 5mg and one Naxdom .We worrid about that......She have taken 3 vivax 5mg instead of 1 vivax 5mg
Female | 23
Taking 3 tablets of Vivax 5mg can lead to an overdose of the medication, which can cause dizziness, confusion, headache, and nausea. But since Vivax 5mg is a relatively low dose medication the risk of serious complications is low. Also taking Naxdom along with it is not harmful. But if you face any serious symtpoms then consult a neurologist.

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.

Neurological issues on going 18 mths, no doc is helping me now worse pain all over my left side body and chronic headaches and head pressure also experiencing electric shock sensations from head to abdomen and horrible spasams in chest and pain in left breast and sholder and neck
Female | 40
Pain on your left side and chronic headaches, the two motions you report might stem from several causes for instance nerve trouble or muscle health issues. The electric shock, which you describe as the jerk and jolt you feel, may well be associated with the nerve sensations. It mimics or is seen as the breathing pattern of a muscle when someone overuses or tightens the muscle during a workout, causing intercostal muscle pain. You should be upfront with your health issues and choose a neurologist to get an appropriate diagnosis followed by a treatment plan that is suitable for you.

Male | 22
If you are experiencing neck stiffness, numbness at the back of your head, a bad headache, irritated eyes, body quivers, and extreme tiredness, these symptoms could be due to stress, lack of sleep, or an underlying medical issue. It's important to stay hydrated, take breaks from devices, and spend time outdoors. If the symptoms persist, talk to a healthcare provider for proper guidance.

Could you kindly advise treatment for HSP gene11, outcomes, side effects, any long term results please (for my sister, now cannot walk unaided, requires 4wheel mobility walker). Thank you.
Female | 63
The overexpression of HSP gene11 can cause a wide variation of effects and side effects. It can be long-term, and will for example impede walking, maybe, as your sister, has difficulty walking anymore. Obtaining help from a neurologist who treats Hereditary Spastic Paraplegia (HSP) for the right treatment and management is indispensable in this case.

I was cleaning yesterday my aquarium and some drops of water touched my nose,I saw recently a video about the brain eating amoeba and I am afraid if I got it.I know how deadly it is
Male | 22
The chance of you getting the brain-eating amoeba from the water that touches your nose is very low. This amoeba infects the body via the nose and results in an uncommon infection. Symptoms include headache, fever, nausea, and if severe, changes in mental status. The best way to avoid this is not to swim in freshwater areas where amoebas may be present.

When I was studying and learn I don't remember anything in exam and also distraction is high I can't focus on study so I heard about alpha gpc tablet that's why I want to ask what can I do , plz prescribed?
Male | 19
This might be a few things such as stress, sleeplessness, and bad food quality. Using alpha GPC tablets can be a way to boost your memory and concentration. But, first, you should deal with the main cause of your symptoms, such as not enough sleep, a balanced diet, and stress management. To improve your studying, you may want to make a study schedule, take breaks, and keep things organized.

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.

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.

I’m 25 year old men, I have fever & feeling something is stuck in my front neck plus I have finger numbness and chest stiffness
Male | 25
The rise in temperature with the sensation that something is lodged in your throat may be an infection or an inflamed area within it. On the other hand, having your fingers get numb while experiencing tightness around the chest could also imply bad blood flow or nerve-related issues. You must take a break, drink a lot of water, and see a doctor so you can receive proper medication.
