You might be showing signs of Tourette syndrome. Discharge syndrome causes you to move suddenly and sound the same repeatedly without your consent. The brain has a medical malfunction known as a neurological disorder. For this, you must make an appointment with a neurologist, the moment your insurance starts, because it is something you should treat as soon as possible. Possible ways of treatment include psychotherapy or medications.

Hi Dear doctor After eschimec stroke and losing golden time we can achieve our health with drugs asprin, atrovistatin, Apexaban
Male | 65
Post-ischemic stroke, it is necessary to seek medical care as soon as possible and get treatment from a highly trained neurologist or stroke specialist. If you take painkillers such as aspirin, atorvastatin, or apixaban, it might be risky and can even prove to be fatal.

All my blood report are normal but i feel dizzy sometime.. why ?
Male | 25
Feeling dizzy, even when all your blood tests are normal, could have various causes such as inner ear problems, low blood pressure, anxiety, and inadequate eating. It’s important to ensure that you eat well, drink enough water, and get sufficient rest.
If you are still experiencing dizziness, it would be best to seek advice from a neurologist.

My father is having blood clot in his brain. Which was recently found . He took medication for the same through drips for 5 days . Its been 20 days or more now he says that he feel numbness in hand and feel headache similar to the ache during the cold. And also he feel dizzy sometimes . Is this a normal symptoms of the brain blood clot or an serious issue?
Male | 54
\When a blood clot forms in the brain, numbness in the hand, headache, and dizziness could be worrying. The brain may be deprived of blood supply or there could be pressure on it due to these signs. Make sure he sees a neurologist again because these new symptoms might require more treatment or assessment.

I get these severe headaches that's starts from my eyes Before the actual headache starts my eyes gets like the rippling water effect that starts from the outer of the eyeball As theat progresses I get this severe headache on either side of my brain towards the centre where it feels like a stabbing pain. Sometimes my ears start painingand the headache lasts for 3-5 hours where I have to stop what I'm doing and lay down and take a pain tablet and sleep. Even while my eyes are closed I see the rippling water. Sometimes I get it 2-3 times in a day and I'm totally drained out. Even when the headaches stop the brain still pains for days...a simple cough and my brain pains. I also get very hot and perspire. Sometimes my face feels numbs and I feel almost lifeless and don't want to talk or move that's how severe the pain is. What is this?
Female | 51
Your migraine headache disorder could be a possible cause. You may experience severe pain on one side of your head and even have visual disturbances, like a "rippling water" effect, before the headache starts. Sensitivity to light and sound, along with numbness or weakness, can also happen during a migraine attack. The key is to identify and avoid potential triggers such as stress, lack of sleep, and certain foods. Keeping a headache journal can help you spot patterns. You can also try relaxation techniques, maintain regular sleep routines, and take prescribed medications to prevent or treat migraines. It's important to seek medical advice from a neurologist for a personalized treatment plan.

Here is my story, Doctor. So, two years ago, I suddenly felt immense pain in my foot and got bedridden for almost three months. And then I rushed to a physician because at the time there was no neurologist in my city. The physician tested my vitamins and gave me some vitamins. It eventually got better and I was able to walk. I was overweight at that time and my physician told me that it's all because of weight. And then I lost almost 20 kilograms, but there was still feeling of socks. I don't feel any pain or anything, but I just feel like I'm wearing socks. Then after almost two years, I visited a neurologist with this and she tested my vitamins. She prescribed me vitamin D supplements since my vitamin D is at 12, but for one month. Nothing happened with this one month treatment. Then she did my NCV. She said my NCV reports are normal and has prescribed me some vitamins again. What do you think, how much time it would take to get completely cured?
Female | 21
Based on what you have told me, the peripheral disorder mentioned by the speaker is on track with peripheral nerve disease. In most cases, the feeling of socks on your feet could be easily attributed to peripheral neuropathy. You are lucky that your neurologist has done so many tests and that your vitamins and nerves are under control. Please continue to take the vitamins as per the doctor's prescription and remain patient. You will need some time to see improvements in your nerves. Also, keeping a check on your weight and living a healthy life will speed up your recovery while doing well.

Bell's Palsy keep returning? Is permanent treatment available?
Female | 32
Bell's Palsy can recur in some cases, although it's not common. While there's no guaranteed permanent cure, treatments can help manage symptoms and reduce the likelihood of recurrence. These may include medications like corticosteroids to reduce inflammation, physical therapy to maintain muscle tone and function, and surgery or other interventions in some cases. You need to work closely with a neurologist to create a proper treatment plan.

Its been 5 months,post stroke treatment,urinary incontinence, not feeling of hunger
Male | 59
After someone has had a stroke, they may not be able to control their bladder and bowel movements. This can result in them wetting or soiling themselves accidentally. One of the reasons for this is that the brain may not be sending the right signals for feeling hungry either. The problem could also be due to damage from the stroke affecting this part of the brain. It would therefore help if you talked with your doctor about it. They could think of ways to help you such as through exercises or drugs.

I have epilepsy from 10 years
Male | 23
Long-time living with epilepsy can be extremely complicated, but let's together solve this problem. Epilepsy is an explosion of electrical signals in the brain that results in seizures. These seizures can have different consequences, for example, you can be shaking or losing control of your body. Medicines are mainly used to manage epilepsy, and it is important to take these medicines the way your neurologist tells you to. Moreover, living a balanced healthy life can also be supportive in the treatment of epilepsy.

I'm a 35 year old man. I have numbness in both my hands for the last 4 days and today my lips are also numb. What should I do?
Male | 25
It might be numbness of hands and lips which could be a nerve problem. The main causes can be a lack of vitamins or compression of nerves. Make sure that your meals are diversified. Rather, try different procedures of raising your hands and be careful to keep the pressure off the nerves. Ask a neurologist to rule out possible causes if symptoms don't disappear or worsen.

Female | 18
Feeling dizzy and weak for days isn't great. It might be due to skipping meals, stress, or low iron. The headache and forehead pain could be related too. Make sure to rest, eat iron-rich foods like greens or meat, and stay hydrated. If you don't feel better soon, visit a neurologist.

My baby was diagnosed with cp still waiting for MRI scan so I want stem therapy for her
Female | 2
CP could result from an injury to the brain before, during or after birth. Indications could be difficulty moving around, rigid muscles and lack of coordination. Although stem cell therapy is still under study, there is no enough evidence supporting its use in CP cases. Treatment plan should be guided by the results of an MRI scan. Let us wait for the scan and then we can talk about what to do next.
