How can I improve sleep with Myasthenia Gravis?
I have sleep disorder, and an underlying diagnosis of Myasthenia Gravis. Also, have Nasal septum slight deviation, and turbinate hypertrophy. Have not been able to sleep for more than an hour or 2, for past 3-4 months. Have been told to do Sleep study, but I have anxiety with putting cords or mask, so couldn't even do a Sleep study due to Nasal cannula requirement. Also, I feel difficulty breathing in flat position, and usually because of that fear, haven't laid flat in past 2-3 months. How should I go about solving this issue? Where to start?

It's normal to feel anxious about a sleep study. Your symptoms could be related to Myasthenia Gravis or a nasal issue, especially if you have trouble breathing when lying flat. Good sleep is vital for your health, so share your concerns with your healthcare team. They may suggest alternatives like home sleep tests or other ways to improve your sleep. Identifying the cause of your sleep problems is key to finding the right solution for you.

Now it's mctd with myasthenia gravis had been diagnosed. Mi 2 a and 2b also positive. RNP/sm positive. RP155 POSITIVE. iam on prednisone and pyridostigmine now. Is this ok or any other medicine should be taken. CPK is 2272
Female | 55
You’re managing a complex situation with mixed connective tissue disease (MCTD) and myasthenia gravis. Your test results show positive markers, which means your immune system is attacking your healthy tissues. The combination of prednisone and pyridostigmine is helping control your symptoms. Since your CPK levels are high, it might be due to muscle damage. Your doctor may consider adjusting your medications or adding new ones to address inflammation and muscle weakness. It’s important to stay in close contact with your neurologist for regular check-ups and to discuss any new symptoms or issues.

Hello, some help please, difficulty thinking connected with a continuous right arm and leg pain, at times i loose even sight, it occurs most especially when am forced to do a hard task at work which seems undoable, too many calls from people, stress times at work. The arm pain is continuous, it reduces only when I continuously swing my arm in all directions. Is it pressure!! What can I do.
Male | 34
You may be dealing with stress and thoracic outlet syndrome. This happens when nerves or blood vessels near your neck and shoulder get pinched, causing pain and foggy thinking. Stress and repetitive movements worsen it. Take breaks and do gentle stretches. Try relaxing activities too.

Male | 28
Watery eyes cause issues. Headaches too. Anxiety hits hard sometimes. There are reasons why. Allergies may happen. Sinus troubles start problems. Anxious feelings also trigger symptoms. Deep breaths may help. Stay hydrated too. If issues continue, see a neurologist.

mild bulges of C3-4,C4-5 and C5-6 disc indenting the anterior subarachnoid space however not abuutting the cord
Male | 32
Your cervical discs have bulged slightly, exerting pressure on the spinal cord area. However, it's not severe. This condition may result in neck, shoulder, or arm discomfort, numbness, or weakness. Aging and spinal strain typically cause such issues. To alleviate symptoms, you might need physical therapy, medication, or surgery in extreme cases.

I have a huge headache all the time
Male | 30
You're dealing with a persistent headache, which can be tough to endure. Common causes include stress, dehydration, or lack of sleep. It might also stem from eye strain or tension in your neck and shoulders. To help, try drinking more water, getting enough rest, and practicing relaxation techniques like deep breathing or gentle stretching. If the headache persists, consider consulting a neurologist for further evaluation.

I have 1 pea size lymph node on both side of my neck since 1 month I also have post nasal drip.. I feel numbness like feeling in my neck throat and mouth some times I feel tingling in my head.. From yesterday I feel mild pain in front side of my neck
Female | 28
Your body fights infections through swollen lymph nodes in your neck. Post nasal drip irritates your throat and mouth, causing numbness. Tingling in your head might stem from sensitive nerves. It's crucial to get evaluated and treated by a neurologist. They'll determine the underlying cause and provide proper care for your symptoms.

For bells palsy consult a neurologist from a well known hospital in India or ENT specialist, for personalized treatment. There are a few common treatments like corticosteroids to reduce inflammation, eye care to protect the affected eye, and possibly physical therapy. There's no one size fits all medicine for this condition, so follow your doctor's advice for the most effective treatment plan for your needs.

My grandfather age is 69 he has second brain stroke before 5 month today his throat is peining (nv tude is use to feeding) please doctor tell is any problem related to stroke
Male | 69
Often after a stroke, people can have problems swallowing. This is called dysphagia. It can be painful to the throat and hence eating or drinking becomes difficult. This is because the muscles associated with swallowing may not work properly after a stroke. Discuss this with your neurologist to accomplish feeding and avoid any complications.

I have headache continuously. In my report of MRI it shows that I have preventricular cyst in my head Medicine is going on but I have headache What should I do
Female | 15
You may be suffering from a ventricular cyst, which is located near the brain. It is a fluid-filled sac near the brain. The reason that it causes headaches is often due to being under pressure. Adding to this, receiving regular medication, I recommend also not to forget being well-hydrated and staying stress-free. Were the pain to continue being severe or getting worse, you should report the headache to your neurologist for a new assessment and even alterations to the medications prescribed.

For the past 3 weeks now maybe longer I’ve been experiencing severe headaches. I ended up going to hospital for a head CT but they never did one and just put it down to stress which I know it’s not the case there’s definitely something wrong. I returned to work yesterday and was completely fine until I woke up this morning with a severe headache again and in pain all over. My throat has swelled up and I’ve been vomiting all day. I’ve taken codeine that has eased the pain a bit. I just don’t know what to do or what could be causing this. My GP has been no help either and I can’t continue risking taking anymore time off work
Female | 18
Having severe headaches, throwing up, swelling of the throat, and general body weakness is odd. It could be an indication of a serious problem that needs immediate attention. You should see a doctor who will carry out proper examinations and tests to establish the root cause. If possible, think about getting a second opinion without any delay.

I survived Wernicke Korsakoff with minimal damage. Is it true that I only have 8 years to live?
Female | 53
It's great to hear that you got through Wernicke-Korsakoff with minimal issues. Don't worry; you're not limited to just 8 years. Wernicke-Korsakoff affects memory and brain function, causing symptoms like confusion, vision problems, and walking difficulties, usually due to a Vitamin B1 deficiency. Treatment includes B1 supplements and a nutritious diet. With proper care, you can live a long, healthy life.

Female | 63
Brain injuries like a mini-stroke may cause the brain to not work correctly, thus leaving some of the body weak, causing difficulties to speak, and even confusion. Due to her history of cancer, it is critical to keep a close watch on her as a stroke can complicate her condition. A neurologist will probably suggest some medications and rehabilitation to assist her in recovery.

Headache, shrinking of hands and legs, foaming at the mouth
Male | 35-40
Severe head pain which radiates to the neck with stiffening neck and the legs and foaming at the mouth are potential symptoms that can be addressed as epilepsy. Epilepsy is a disorder of the brain characterized by the occurrence of abnormal electrical activity, sending inappropriate signals through the nervous system. It is of course injuriously crucial to make it the first choice to see a specialist doctor in case of these symptoms. The common method for the treatment of epilepsy is drug use for control of the seizure and prevention of a future occurrence.

Your friend could be having a panic attack. A state where the person has rapid breathing, cold hands and feet, sweaty palms, and feeling unable to move is the most common one during a panic attack. The reasons may be different but the stress or anxiety stage is often the cause. Advise your friend to breathe slowly and deeply to stay calm and composed. Offer them strong reassurance and be a steady presence to help them through it.

I am feeling extreme pain in head
Male | 36
Headaches can happen due to stress, lack of sleep, or dehydration. Besides that, you might be having a tension headache due to staring at screens for too long. You should try to breathe in a quiet room, hydrate your body, and perhaps use a cold compress on your head. If the pain doesn't go away, it's best to talk to a neurologist.
