I have epilepsy from 10 years

Answered on 26th Aug '24
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.

Hi doctor I have a headache everyday and it only goes away if I take painkiller (ibuprofen) why I have this?
Female | 25
The headaches have arisen regularly and are usually relieved by painkillers. They are characterized by stress, lack of sleep, or a bad posture, and therefore are often the case. It is necessary to trace the main cause. I suggest you engage in stress-relieving activities such as deep breathing, stretching, and getting proper sleep and posture. If the headaches still exist, it is crucial to consult a doctor to diagnose and prevent any hidden causes.

Aaj morning se sir me pain ho raha hai Vaisograin tablet bhi Li par koi releif nahi hua
Female | 24
Headaches can arise in many ways, for example, stress, lack of sleep, or even looking at screens for too long can cause them. It's better to lie in a peaceful place, drink a lot of plain water, and abstain from excessive screen time. If the pain persists, you need to go to a doctor and get a thorough checkup done.

I am 25 years old, I am an epilepsy patient, Can I reduce my medicine ? I took medicine for epilepsy since I am child I didn't get seizure often , in 2019 I am get seizure Sir , is it cure or not ?
Female | 25
In case you are suffering from epilepsy, ensure that you adhere to the doctor’s prescription regarding your medication. It is still important to keep taking medicine even if you do not get many seizures as this will help reduce chances of more occurring. Medication manages seizures; it does not cure them though. Always remember that it is necessary to consult a neurologist before changing any of your drugs.

I end up being very tired during the day and trouble focusing from staying up for hours at night. Is this insomnia at all?
Female | 18
You may have trouble sleeping. Not sleeping well means finding it hard to doze off or stay rested through the night. Daytime tiredness and lack of focus could signify this problem. Common culprits – anxiety, stress, and poor sleep patterns. To rest better, wind down before bed with calming activities. Avoid screens late at night. Most importantly, keep your sleep schedule consistent.

When I press my head backside (the place where it was hit when I fell)... It's bleeding from nose... And we took a CT scan they told there's nothing on it... But now it's strted to bleeding on ears and then the eyes on the side where it was hit
Male | 16
It sounds like you are experiencing some serious symptoms, even though your CT scan showed no abnormalities. Bleeding from the nose, ears, and eyes after a head injury can be concerning and should be taken seriously. I strongly recommend that you visit a neurologist or an ENT specialist as soon as possible for a thorough examination and proper treatment. They will be able to assess your condition more accurately and provide the necessary care.

Doctor, the patient has cerebral palsy dystonia. Is steam cell treatment better ordeep brain stimulation beneficial for him, Because deep brain stimulation is beneficial for Parkinson’s patients only, and its success rate is high because it is primary dystonia and he has secondary dystonia. Thank you very much.
Male | 28
In this case, deep brain stimulation may not be the best choice since it's typically used for Parkinson's disease. Stem cell therapy that replaces damaged cells instead could be one of the ways to do it. Cerebral palsy dystonia can cause muscle stiffness or uncontrollable movements. Always consult with a doctor to explore suitable options.

Male | 42
You are experiencing pain and trembling in the morning which can be worrisome. These symptoms are often associated with your nervous or muscular system. One of the common reasons may be poor blood circulation or stress. Try to take fluids in a proper amount and nutrition through a regular diet. You can do some light stretching exercises as well. If it persists, booking an appointment with a neurologist to get a medical certificate is advisable.

I want to know about rabies dieses
Male | 23
Rabies, a viral disease, spreads through infected animal bites. Common symptoms start with fever, headaches, and fatigue. As it progresses, confusion and swallowing difficulties arise. Preventive vaccination before potential exposure is crucial. If bitten, wash the wound thoroughly and seek medical attention immediately. This deadly disease demands prompt action to avoid severe consequences.

Female | 28
Random numbness in your body can feel quite worrying. Causes include circulation issues, compressed nerves, or anxiety. For prevention, eat nutritious foods, exercise regularly, and manage stress levels. However, if you are experiencing persistent numbness, visit a neurologist to identify the underlying reason and receive proper treatment.

If you are getting the feeling of your mind becoming cloudy and urinating frequently, with your hands feeling cold and having dubious thoughts, it's natural to be a health care provider. These symptoms could be a result of different things, including sleep disorders or even hormonal imbalances. Trying remedies and talking to a medical practitioner will be very helpful in clarifying what is happening, you could be directed to a specialist.

Please help me I'm 38 years old I have pain all over my body I feel sick all the time I'm tried all the time and I have nights sweats for the last week
Male | 38
It seems like you may have some symptoms which could mean many things. Pain everywhere, feeling bad a lot, always being worn out, and sweating at night are all signs of different illnesses. A virus infection might be one cause but so could an immune system disorder or even just stress alone. You need to see a doctor so that they can find out what is going on with you exactly--and then give feedback that is helpful for treating whatever this turns out to be.

Due to this disease i cannot able to study well. Can you help me out? Please
Female | 21
Headaches are the result of either changes in the flow of the fluids around the brain or irritation of the nerves. This is a new symptom for you; tell your neurologist about it. Keep them informed of all your symptoms; this will allow them to decide on the most suitable treatment for your general health care.

I am located in Tanzania. I have ruptured my Achilles tendon. I know I need to have surgery. My concern is I have no feeling in the bottom of my foot, the doctors here want to do the tendon surgery and are saying the damaged nerves may repair themselves. I don't know if that is true or if I should have a neurosurgeon do the surgery.
Female | 51
The nerves that are damaged could heal by themselves with time but it is advisable to seek guidance from a specialist on how best to handle this situation. If you don't want to go ahead with surgery, have a second opinion from a neurosurgeon and based on that take the decision right for you.

Female | 26
Having symptoms like muscle twitches, tingling in your hands and feet, leg weakness, ankle pain, and difficulty speaking could indicate a nerve disorder. Abnormal EMG and NCS test results suggest nerve problems, possibly due to conditions like peripheral neuropathy or nerve injury. It's important to follow up with your doctor for further tests and treatment, which may include specialized tests, medications, or physical therapy, depending on the cause.

I'm 26 I have autism astma Suspected ADHD Why do I have cold hands and cold feet in the morning
Male | 26
A cold sensation in the mornings? It’s due to insufficient blood flow to hands and feet. In such cases, it may occur because your limbs' blood vessels get less blood during the night. Other factors such as autism, asthma, and suspected ADHD that require proper organ operation might influence the ways your body regulates its temperature. You can try some of these tips by heating your bedroom, wearing socks to bed, and doing mild exercises in the morning to improve blood circulation.

Mild to moderate numbness that comes and goes on right side of head and behind ear. It's been going on for 2+ hours.
Male | 20
Seek immediate medical attention from a neurologist to determine the cause, as it could be related to factors, some of which may require prompt evaluation and treatment. Don't ignore concerning symptoms, especially if they are accompanied by weakness, difficulty speaking, severe headache, or changes in vision.

Why I am having a headache and nousea
Female | 19
When head throbs and the stomach churns, it often has simple causes. Perhaps not enough water passed your lips. Or maybe a meal you ate stirred unpleasant reactions. Anxieties also bring those unpleasant companions knocking. Drink deeply from the well, and eat gently. But if discomforts persist, visit a neurologist.
