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.

change in shape and size of my head
Male | 16
Experiencing alterations in head shape and size can be concerning, but it's essential to remember that various factors might contribute, such as growth, hydration, or underlying medical conditions. Common symptoms to watch for include pain, swelling, or changes in vision. Addressing these concerns typically involves a thorough examination. I encourage you to consult a neurologist for an accurate diagnosis and tailored advice. Early evaluation can help ensure appropriate care and peace of mind.

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.

Hi, I have sciatic nerve pain but everytime I lift weights at the gym I have hand discomfort especially in the radial nerve area, the strange thing is it is only on one arm at a time like today it s on the right arm and tomorrow or a few hours after it moves to the left hand and to right hand back and forth after hours or days and the other hand feels like I had nothing at all. is it a slip disk or a radial tunnel syndrome ?
Male | 36
Shifting discomfort in your arms can arise from various causes, such as nerve irritation, muscle strain, or overuse, particularly with weightlifting. Sciatica may contribute to some nerve-related issues, but it's essential to differentiate between conditions like radial tunnel syndrome and other potential causes. I recommend you take a break from heavy lifting, focus on stretching, and strengthen your core muscles. Additionally, consulting a neurologist for an accurate diagnosis is important to develop a tailored treatment plan that addresses your specific situation effectively.

Male | 37
Dizziness and headaches can stem from various causes, including infections or blood pressure fluctuations. The test results indicate some form of infection, which could be contributing to your symptoms. The medications prescribed should help, but if you're still experiencing dizziness, it's vital to consult a neurologist for a thorough evaluation and possible adjustment of your treatment. Keeping hydrated and resting can also aid recovery.

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.

Female | 42
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 hit my head hard 9 hours ago. No other symptoms but localized pain where the hit was. Do I need a ct?
Female | 39
Localized discomfort at the impact site can be common and is often not serious. However, if you notice any additional symptoms like dizziness, nausea, confusion, or vision changes, seeking immediate medical attention is essential. A CT scan is typically advised if there's concern for a more severe issue. I recommend contacting a neurologist for a thorough evaluation to ensure your well-being. Early intervention can provide peace of mind and appropriate care if necessary.

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.

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.

Male | 33
You have referred to the data collected, showing structural changes in the brain caused by specific conditions including age-related changes, small vessel disease, and migraine. The very changing levels of symptoms could be mild cognitive changes to intense headaches. To ensure the most accurate and thorough diagnosis by a professional, you must go to a neurologist for further evaluation. With the help of healthcare providers, you can be prescribed some diagnostic ULTRASOUND or proper treatment, including biofeedback, for the specific situation you are in.
