Can We Cure Hemifacial Spasm Permanently?
I am suffering from hemifacial spasm. I want to cure it permanently. Pls help
Neurosurgeon
Answered on 2nd Aug '24
A hemifacial spasm causes one side of your face to twitch involuntarily. This happens when a nerve gets irritated in your cheek area. Although uncontrolled facial twitching is unpleasant, treatment options like Botox injections or surgery exist. These can help relax the affected nerve, stopping the spasms. Such treatments aim to provide relief, improving your quality of life. So do not lose hope, as permanent solutions are available.

Mam, I dont know what I am going through, but I find it very difficult to remember the things which I learn previously (even though I revised multiple times) and my working memory is very much reduced , I cant solve complex maths and computer programs . During solving complex programs , I find it difficult to keep all things which I thought previously ( seconds ago) in my head to solve the problem. Even though I dedicate so much of time in studying , I could not match with my friends scores ( who score more than me by putting lesser effort than me ) and this makes more depressed and tired . Currently I have very bad lifestyle ( junk food, no exercise, no proper sleep) , but I have already tried following these steps and ended up in no results . I am a undergrad student , I need to resolve this to get placed . I need to know the exact reasons and disorder behind this and exact solutions to get back my old brain .

Your concentration, memory, and cognitive functions are showing ominous symptoms of worry. Thus, it is likely that they are caused by stress, unhealthy lifestyles, sleep deprivation, and poor diet. Eating, sleeping, exercising, and managing stress should become a priority if you wish to enhance your brain function. You could also consider speaking with a psychiatrist or counselor for support. Implementing these interventions can enable you to control your brain operation as well as enhance your general well-being.

If I don’t say something immediately I will forget it after
Male | 13
If you often forget things quickly, it could be due to something called short-term memory loss. Symptoms include difficulty remembering recent events or information. This can happen due to stress, lack of sleep, or not paying attention. Try to practice good sleep habits, reduce stress, and pay attention when you learn new things. Writing things down can also help you remember better.

My daughter is suffering cerebral disrhythmia? How can this problem cure?
Female | 1
Based on your description, your daughter might have a condition called cerebral dysrhythmia. This means her brain may not be communicating properly due to disrupted electrochemical signals. Symptoms can include headaches, dizziness, and difficulty concentrating. These issues could be caused by a brain injury, infection, or another underlying problem. The treatment will depend on the exact cause. It is essential to consult a neurologist or another specialist for a proper diagnosis and to determine the best treatment to help your daughter recover.

I hear a whistling sound in my ears. I think I have a disease called tinnitus. Please tell me some medicine to cure this disease.
Male | 24
Tinnitus is not a disease but rather a symptom of something else. It may be due to circumstances such as exposure to loud noises, ear infections, or even stress. Unfortunately, no medication is specifically designed to cure tinnitus. Nevertheless, coping with stress, limiting exposure to loud sounds, and applying sound therapy can reduce the symptoms.

Facing high fever and continuous headache
Female | 30
Fevers and headaches are often caused by infections like the flu or a cold. When you're sick, your brain can ache, and your body might get hotter than usual because your immune system is fighting the illness. Make sure to get plenty of rest, drink lots of water, and take some paracetamol or acetaminophen to help reduce the fever. If the pain is severe or the symptoms persist, it's important to see a doctor for proper treatment.

what is difference between lacosamide tablets BP and lacosamide tablets Ph. Eur.
Male | 15
Lacosamide tablets BP and lacosamide tablets Ph. Eur. are essentially the same, with the only difference being how they are approved for use in different countries. The symptoms, causes, and treatment are identical for both. The therapy works by normalizing abnormal electrical activity in the brain. Stick to the medication prescribed by your neurologist and follow their advice carefully.

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.

I’m a 26 year old female who is a diagnosed epileptic. I have been taking 200mg of lamotrigine since January. However I’m still having frequent seizures and cluster seizures so I’m looking to see if I could get an additional medication prescribed alongside the lamotrigine to support my symptoms and gain more control over my seizures.
Female | 26
It’s important to tell a neurologist about those symptoms again. Sometimes taking another medicine such as levetiracetam or valproate can help to bring seizures under control. These drugs act in different ways to help lower the chances of having a seizure. Your doctor will be able to advise you better on what treatment plan will suit you most appropriately.

You should consult for a second opinion right away. Hemifacial spasm can be a symptom of another neurological condition, including an aneurysm. A ruptured cerebral aneurysm is a medical emergency that requires to be treated promptly. Speculating on life expectancy without the proper medical evaluation is inappropriate. As soon as you can, see a neurologist.

I have a headache coming from inside of my head and it starting from left side then it radiate to back side of the head.. sometimes this pain is little and sometimes it is more. Even when I'm breathing the pain is happening. Why it is happening?
Male | 28
You may be having tension-type headaches. These feel like a tight band around your head. Stress, bad posture, or eye strain often cause them. The pain may move or spread. Try relaxing techniques to ease the headaches. Improve your posture and take breaks from screens. See a neurologist if they worsen or last longer. They can check further and suggest remedies.

Seasonal migraines seem like your issue. Head pain comes back yearly, same time. You might feel sick, sensitive to light or sound, also vision issues. To avoid these, stay hydrated. Get plenty of sleep. Keep stress in check.

Doctor I am a male of 45 year from Africa i feel this heaviness (dizziness) in the head and fatigue whenever i walk a little distance or engage in strenous work. I did ECG and ECHO2D tests. The doctor said nothing was wrong with my heart . I check my BP regularly. I am not hypertensive. I engage in regular fitness exercise . Yet this heaviness in the head and tiredness doesn't want to stop. I need your urgent reply. Pat.
Male | 45
It’s good that you’ve ruled out heart issues and hypertension. However, the persistent heaviness in the head and fatigue could be related to other causes such as anemia, thyroid issues, or even stress and anxiety. I would recommend visiting an internal medicine specialist or a neurologist for a thorough evaluation to pinpoint the cause and get appropriate treatment.

Hi sir/madam, I'm Suffering from right eye swelling,redness from past 25 days... recently I have visited a hospital and got my cerebral Angiogram test done...it was found that there is Dural arterveinous fistulae along bilateral cavernous sinuses nd clivus draining into bilateral petrosal sinuses and right superior opthalmic vein...which is causing swelling of eye,redness,watery eyes...They have suggested an exercise near neck(compression) for this problem. my question is does this problem go away with this exercise? How common is this problem?Any medical emergency required?What is the cost for stereographic radiation therapy? Thank you.
Male | 52
The answer to your question depends on the cause of the dural arteriovenous fistulae. If it is caused by a congenital abnormality, exercise may help reduce the symptoms, but it is unlikely to completely resolve the condition. If the cause is a tumor or an aneurysm, then exercise may help reduce the symptoms, but a more comprehensive treatment plan may be required. The cost of stereotactic radiation therapy varies depending on the institution providing the therapy. It is best to seek advice from a specialist to determine the best course of treatment.

Female | 22
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.

My son 21 years old. Struggling with migrains. Have now started to feel pressure in forehead and dizzy. Have just now taken paracetamol 1 gram. Is it ok to take migraine medication he got from doctor last time now already? He is really scared to wake up and get it like last time. It was really bad with vomiting.
Male | 21
Weakness and sensitivity to light, as well as vomiting, may be the result of migraines. He is on paracetamol which is great, but he can also take the migraine medication his doctor prescribed if it is the case, even though it is soon after the paracetamol. It is important that the doctor’s guidance is adhered to and the medication is taken as instructed which will also help to prevent the next similar episode from happening.

Woman, 25 years, 65 kg weight, 173 cm height. Headache all the time for last 5-10 years, sometimes very strong,I have even lost consciousness, but usually semi strong all the time, it gets better only when someone is pushing(squeezing) my head, best from front (forehead).
Female | 25
You might be a victim of tension headaches. The pain can often be described as a squeezing sensation around your head. The stresses in life can eventually lead to the worsening of these issues. They are also capable of causing you to lose consciousness. Start with relaxation techniques like slow breathing and easy neck moves. Never forget to drink water and reduce the stress to prevent these headaches. If the headaches continue or worsen, a visit to a neurologist is always recommended.

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.
