Physical Therapy: Physical therapy is important. A physical therapist can offer strength and flexibility enhancing exercises that will help maintain the muscles, and provide adaptive devices to aid in performing daily activities.
Occupational Therapy: Hand tremors can be adjusted through occupational therapy allowing you to remain independent in daily tasks.
Medication and Medical Care: Another aspect is the importance of regular control by a neurologist or some kind of specialist in muscular disorders. They also suggest any drugs that can be used to enhance muscle strength and tremor control.
Lifestyle Modifications: Adjusting your home and work setting to fit you, and familiarity with ergonomic instruments can also be of great help alongside practicing relaxation methods.

I am 58 years old, I suffer mnd, how to cure it?
Male | 58
MND is short for motor neuron disease. A few standard symptoms of this disease are muscle weakness, twitching, and trouble walking. What happens is that the nerve cells controlling movement gradually die off, causing MND. Unfortunately, there is currently no cure for it. Though, treatments exist that can help to manage symptoms and improve your quality of life. For example, physical therapy may be used alongside drugs to enhance mobility and comfort levels. You must collaborate closely with a neurologist so that they can figure out the most suitable treatment plan for you.

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.

Doctor sahb mujhe Ahtlaam ho jata hai
Male | 28
Very well, Ahtlaam which is also sometimes called nocturnal emissions is defined as the ejaculation that one might experience in sleep. In fact, it is a very common thing during puberty. Signs and symptoms of it are feelings of self-consciousness and apprehension (but it is a normal body process). The causes of it could be associated with hormonal changes and sexual dreams. The best way to sort it out is by exercising regularly and eating a balanced diet.

I am 22 years old guyFor the past 2 weeks i have been feeling brain fog. I feel like a robot and it feels like i am not aware of my surroundings very well and i lack clarity. Although i am able to complete everyday tasks and even communicate properly. I have noticed when I indulge myself into something for a moment it gets a little better but then again i start feeling it again. I was going to gym regularly and pushing hard. Moreover i was also consuming coffee before workout and whey protein. For a first few days it was for shorter period and then i was fine but now its been two weeks its constant. I have left everything but still it persists. I think it might be an anxiety. But i have never been diagnosed with it or any mental issues. On the other hand i wear spectacles I thought maybe it was due to that i got my eyesight checked they say its the same. So now i am very worried. Please let me know what should i do. Thank u very much.
Male | 22
Brain fog can cause dullness and difficulty concentrating. It may be triggered by stress, lack of sleep, poor diet, or certain medications. By cutting out coffee and workout-boosting herbs, you're already on the path to recovery. To help clear the fog, focus on getting enough sleep, eating a balanced diet, staying hydrated, and practicing calming activities like meditation or walking. If symptoms persist, it's best to consult a neurologist.

Male | 42
It seems like you might have systemic hypertension—this can lead to symptoms such as pain in the hands or feet, blurred vision, or more phlegm. These are all signs of high blood pressure. You need to check your blood pressure regularly and do what your doctor says to keep it under control. Changing your lifestyle by eating well-balanced meals, getting regular exercise, and dealing with stress can make things better for you.

I’m 18 year old female, 5.5 and 1/2 160 pounds, for the past 3 months I’ve been having dizzy spells, blurry vision and sometimes loss of vision, my whole body heats up, sometimes I puke, it happens a lot when I get out of the shower and I don’t take hot showers. I take Vyvanse,
Female | 18
This sounds like the symptoms of a condition called postural orthostatic syndrome (POTS). POTS can make you feel dizzy, lightheaded, or faint when you stand up. It can also cause your vision to blur when standing up, heat intolerance, and nausea upon standing up. Vyvanse could worsen these symptoms. Drinking lots of fluids and adding more salt to your diet might help. Talk to your doctor about this.

I am a 31-year-old female with L3-L4 protrusion, disc herniation at the L4-L5 level causing severe narrowing of the spinal canal and sacralization of the L5 disc. I have consulted a couple of neurologists in Bangalore but it was not effective. Pain killers and muscle relaxants don't help to subside the pain. I am not able to sit as there is severe burning pain in my right leg. It has been 6 months and there has been no improvement, rather my health is deteriorating. I have tried physiotherapy as well but the pain seems to be increasing. Kindly help me with what treatment should I take up and from where?

Male | 18
You are likely having some of the panic attack symptoms. In such moments, your body may tremble and be hot; you could also have a feeling of confusion. Panic attacks may be caused by factors such as stress, anxiety, or strong emotions. To help, try slow, deep breaths, calming thoughts, and talking to someone you trust about how you're feeling.

If dizziness persists for over 35 days despite Ent treatment, it's essential to seek further evaluation from a specialist. Consider consulting with a neurologist or another specialist to determine the underlying cause. Avoid triggers and maintain a regular sleep schedule, but consult a professional for a comprehensive assessment and personalized treatment.

I am a neuro patient,I am suffering from brain tumour,I have undergone radiosurgery proton beam therapy, But now I feel mentally very week,I am a service holder but I am not able to take work pressure So I want to know is there any solution of these problem
Female | 46
You find yourself to be mentally down as a result of the treatment, which was proton beam therapy for your brain tumor. This is a natural outcome because the treatment hurts the healthy brain tissue. Some usual symptoms are fatigue, memory problems, and a problem concentrating. Make sure you rest, eat the right foods, and keep in contact with your healthcare team. Alongside counseling, look into this support program for a solution.

Male | 23
You appear to have a sinus infection. Infected sinuses cause face pain, often one-sided, and headaches. Other signs include stuffy/runny nose, coughing, and fatigue. Warm compresses, hydration, and OTC pain meds may help. However, if symptoms persist or worsen, see a neurologist.

There is a lot of pain at night. It feels like the vein in the forehead will burst and the body jerks repeatedly.
Male | 17
You may be having a cluster headache. It may be accompanied by a jolt of the body. Stress, alcohol consumption, and intense smells can serve as irritants. To counter these conditions, use relaxation methods, do not expose yourself to triggers, and consult a neurologist for further advice and support.

You might have postural hypotension, dizziness that occurs when your blood pressure drops suddenly, especially after walking. This may cause you to feel unsteady or dizzy. You should drink plenty of water and move slowly. You may need to change your medicine or lifestyle to get help.

I have recently been experiencing heavy memory loss (ex. unable to remember names, forgetting how to do tasks, driving unknown places). I have an appointment but I'm unsure whether I should go to urgent care for this instead or not.
Female | 18
Forgetting names and tasks can be a worrisome problem. This can be due to various reasons like stress, sleep problems, or medical issues. It is commendable that you are thinking about your alternatives. Since memory loss affects everyday life, see a neurologist as soon as possible. They can be the ones to help identify the cause and recommend the necessary steps to enhance your memory.

Which surgery is better for grade 2 brain tumor? Should the patient opt for Radiosurgery or Craniotomy?
Generally there are 4 types of Resection to remove a tumor:
- Gross total: The entire tumor is removed. However, sometimes microscopic cells may remain.
- Subtotal: A large portion of the tumor is removed.
- Partial: Only part of the tumor is removed.
- Biopsy only: Only a small portion is removed, which is used for a biopsy.
The treatment or surgery depends on several factors like type of cancer, the stage of cancer, location, age of patient, general health, associated comorbidities and others. Consult an oncologist, who on evaluation of the patient will guide you to choose the best treatment suitable for the patient.
Hope our answer helps you.

i'm getting extreme severe pain at the back of head. it's feeling as if someone's hitting me with hammer with each heartbeat. I had lunch in the afternoon and slept. The pain has been there from the moment I woke up. It's in the occipital region, like the occipital headache. I'm assuming 4 main reasons. 1st one is gastric pain(if gas pain has been struck in my head). it occured to me before and also maybe this time since I didn't walk after having lunch, i usually have gastric issue. 2nd is I have severe wax in my ear. my ear's also paining, so i'm assuming this back head pain because of ear wax. third is the stress/strain which i've been experiencing from a month or so, due to the exam fear n stress, i didn't sleep properly from a month and yesterday night I had undergone an incident with the biggest stress in my life, so, i'm assuming that. 4th reason is that frm childhood, i have severe severe body heat within my body, my body overheats a lot within and i had continously overheating food from 2 days and didn't drink much water, so i'm also assumung pain because of overheating. pls tell me the final diagnosis. Dear Sir/Mam, you can cross question me how much ever deep u want ! jus give me the cause n solution pls doctor! i'll be really really grateful to u sir/mam
Male | 20
You described severe pain hitting the back of your head with every heartbeat. Several factors might contribute.
- First, gas trapped in the body could cause gastric discomfort radiating upwards.
- Second, built-up earwax might trigger ear pain spreading to the head.
- Third, stress and strains from exams could manifest as tension headaches.
- Fourth, overheating due to excess body heat production could cause throbbing pain.
To address these potential causes: Walk after meals for better digestion and gas relief. Gently clean ears or seek professional ear wax removal. Practice relaxation, get ample sleep and find support for stress management. Stay hydrated and maintain balanced nutrition to regulate body temperature. However, if the intense hammering pain persists or worsens, promptly consult a neurologist for proper diagnosis and treatment.
