Although there is no permanent cure for epilepsy, it can be effectively managed with medical treatment, lifestyle changes, and even surgery in certain cases. Epilepsy is treated by a neurologist, specifically a neurologist who specializes in epilepsy and seizure disorders.

from past 1 week i have been feeling really sleepy to the point where i am sleeping 10hours and after waking up still feeling the urge to sleep ...tired ,weak ,also feeling lightheadedness ...can u plz help me out with the diagnosis
Female | 24
Your symptoms of excessive sleepiness, tiredness, weakness, and lightheadedness could indicate anemia. Anemia occurs when your body lacks enough red blood cells to carry oxygen to your organs, making you feel tired and dizzy. This may be due to iron deficiency, blood loss, or a health issue affecting your red blood cells. I suggest visiting a doctor for a blood test to check your iron levels. Including iron-rich foods like spinach, beans, and lean meats in your diet can also help.

My wife has been recently diagnosed by one of neurologist a retinal migraine issue, she faces migraines headache in 2 or 3 months once only. Now the doctor has suggested few medicines which I think is affecting her mental health. She is prescribed with propranolol 25mg daily twice, topiramate 20 mg daily twice Due to this she always feel sleepy, dizziness, harsh behaviours, mood swings, lack of appetite, lack of focus, lack of confidence, feels awkward cannot stay awake, cannot use mobile for long time, headache affects her head daily in the evening mostly. She is using these medicine since two weeks, before she doesn't have these issue. She only had a migraine and she once had a spot in her right eye which goes after a week. But she has a small lump behind her ear which doctor mentioned it as a swellon nerve. Kindly please suggest is she getting correct treatment because her Condition is getting worse day by day in terms of mental health. She has a family history of migraine her mother and sisters.
Female | 34
Propranolol and topiramate sometimes result in symptoms such as drowsiness, lightheadedness, mood changes, and an inability to concentrate. You or she must discuss this with the neurologist who prescribed these drugs because they could fix this issue by adjusting dosages or prescribing different medications that would be effective against migraines without affecting mental stability. If the lump located at the back of her ear is not yet diagnosed then it should also get checked into by the doctor to find out if there might be any connection with other signs.

It is always best to consult with her doctor to see what's the best course of action is for her. However, medications such as oxybutynin, tolterodine, and solifenacin may be effective in treating urinary incontinence. Additionally, physical therapy and pelvic floor exercises may help improve her walking and bladder control.

Hi, I'm m18,I consumed edible cannabis around a week ago , days has passed by ,and right now I'm having constant headaches and in some positions I can feel the blood pumping in brain too.
Male | 18
Your headaches which occurred after eating edible cannabis could be connected with cannabis use. Occasionally, marijuana can trigger headaches as a result. This might be an explanation for the sensation of blood pouring into your brain. To manage your symptoms, do not forget to drink plenty of water, get enough sleep, and try to consult a specialist for further advice.

Can you please suggest some nontropics medicines which can remove Amyloid Plaques from the brain ?
Male | 53
Amyloid plaques in the brain are associated with memory issues and confusion which are typical of Alzheimer's disease. Nontropic drugs which are the drugs being studied for their possible use in removing the plaques are still in the research phase. Currently, there isn't a particular medicine that can do this. Consuming a balanced diet, exercising regularly, and stimulating your mind are all great ways to support brain health.

My son is 5yrs old. He is suffering by autism. What are the treatment here for the autism?
Male | 5
The signs in kids may involve having trouble with social interactions, repeating certain behaviors, and speech being delayed. As of now, there is no known cause for this condition. Treatment can consist of different therapies such as occupational therapy which focuses on skills needed for day-to-day living, behavioral therapy aims at managing symptoms so they don’t interfere too much with life quality, or even just speech therapy if that’s where most help seems necessary. Be sure to team up with a neurologist who will assist in coming up with a treatment plan that best fits your son.

I am 46 year old man. I have little fever since days and headache with feeling head like heavyness. I do also vomit with loose motions before 4-5 days and have many anxiety also..
Male | 46
Symptoms such as fever, headache, throwing up, diarrhea, and nervousness could point towards a stomach bug or food poisoning. These might also leave you feeling light-headed or generally unwell. Make sure to drink enough water, get plenty of rest, and stick with bland foods if this is what you’re going through. If your condition doesn’t improve or gets worse than before, please see a doctor so they can examine you properly and give appropriate treatment options.

I couldn't sleep for 2 months as whever i sleep even for 10 mins i get a dream everytime. I am sleeping for minimum 3 hours a day and i am always tired even without work.
Female | 33
You can't get to sleep and walk around like a zombie during the day. If you have dreams every time you sleep, however, they may be short, and you are not getting REM sleep which is the deep sleep you need. As a result, you may feel you have more energy than you do. Thus, this might be a sleep disorder. If the problem persists, see a sleep specialist who can help with the evaluation and therapy.

Male | 30
You could be experiencing pain in your left temple which spreads to the neck. One reason for this might be stress, poor posture, or even tension. Also, looking at screens for too long could cause similar discomfort. Please take regular screen breaks and maintain good sitting or standing posture. Additionally, gentle neck exercises can help. Consult a neurologist if the pain doesn't go away.

This may be a disease known as Essential Tremor. The main symptom is shaking which cannot be controlled in different body parts. The reasons may be inherited or may be due to some medicines. To deal with it, you can do relaxation techniques and avoid caffeine. If it is disturbing you, you may want to consult a neurologist for more information.

Female | 26
Brain tumors are scary. Headaches, blurry eyes, speaking weird, stumbling around, and mood swings happen. They might come from genes, radiation, or yucky chemicals. To know for sure, doctors look at pictures of your brain from an MRI or CT scan. If you're worried, ask a neurologist to get checked out. With the right care, tumors can be treated properly.

Last year, I got sick pretty bad. It started with migraine like headaches then intense body pain and severe back and neck pain. It was followed by fatigue, muscle stiffness and dizziness. No amount of painkillers relieved the pain. I couldn't even walk properly, someone had to hold me to get through hospitals. I got several tests done including MRI, EEG, B12, vitamin tests, eye tests, CBC and X ray for my back. There were a few vitamin deficiencies but they shouldn't have caused that much pain according to the doctors, MRI was pretty much normal. There were few abnormalities with my XRay in spine but again they were mild and not severe enough to cause me such intense pain. I took medication or migraine, some medication to make my nerves strong and I think some anxiety meds because they suspected GAD (all were prescribed by doctors). Most physicians suggested I go to a psychologist and the psychologist referred me back to physicians and I went back and forth. I got better after bed rest but I had to go back to college because I was missing on my studies. But I fell sick again, cramps like pain, consistent fever but on and off. I got tested for typhoid and other things but absolutely nothing. Then I went to a neuropsychiatrist who told me I had fibromyalgia, it aligned pretty well since I always had memory gaps as well and I've been concerned about it for a while. The medication he gave me worked, I for the first time in months started feeling better but as time passed by, it stopped working for me. I couldn't continue the medication due to expenses as well. So, I've been in pain ever since. When I've had a tiring day the pain is bad, when I am stressed it's worse. Every morning I wake up with pain and every night I go to bed in pain cuz it's worse in the mornings and night. If I rest too much, that's painful and if I don't that's painful too. Fever also shoots up every now and then. My body is in pain and exhausted, everything is difficult, walking up or down the stairs. Although some days it's better but other days it's difficult to even move, painkillers do absolutely nothing. I don't know what to do anymore
Female | 19
It could be fibromyalgia. This condition causes widespread pain in your body along with tenderness too – plus other things like being tired often or having trouble sleeping well. However, there are ways to handle this. For example, physical therapy might help ease some of the hurt; moderate activities such as walking or swimming could be beneficial because they won’t make the ache worse but can still keep muscles from getting too stiff; also relaxation methods (e.g., mindfulness meditation/deep breathing) may relieve stress which often worsens any existing discomfort. Besides that, proper rest is crucial, so try getting enough sleep each night; nutrition matters, so eat healthily; don’t push yourself too hard.

Even if their routine blood and urine tests are normal and there happens to be just a swelling seen only in an MRI, definitely they should go for a neurologist. This calls for obtaining a diagnosis and treatment from a specialist to deter any complications that may arise.
