Should I Get Scanned for a Brain Tumor?
I wanna try to get scanned for a brain tumour, this thought has gone as far back as grade 8 and I know this is out of proportion insane but I mean at first it started with the moments of feeling like I was getting dumber instead of smarter, not like beating myself up but just the actual feeling of losing information Then it was the foggy memories, messed up timeline, all of which I just kinda blamed on Parasomnia Then it was the derealization, the feeling of my grip on the world was leaving me and I’ve just tried so hard to fight it The change in my thoughts I mean I’ve become borderline obsessive, bi polar at my worst and even just thinking of life differently I mean in grade 9 I even just lost so much sense of fear, I started being way more reckless than before Honestly I wouldn’t be surprised if it was what helped Mono attack my body harder I mean looking at symptoms yeah I only have the less severe ones but even loss of hearing and vision change has kinda set in I’ve heard stories of people who didn’t bother to check man and it just makes me afraid that I’m a ticking time bomb until the time someone sees me faint and not wake up Today in class I got, so, so lightheaded, and I just feel this impending doom sitting on my chest man

I would recommend you to book an appointment with a neurologist to detail your symptoms and worries regarding the potential brain tumor. He can perform extensive evaluation and diagnostic tests to determine the source of your symptoms. It is not advisable to wait until the time runs out and an early diagnosis will help you have a different outcome.

Hellp! I am someone with MS. I have very low vitamin D levels and have had that flr a while. I an currently experiencing pain in my left leg. In both knee and thigh. I have pain and can not stand on it as usual. It is the second time in less than 2 weeks (my knee, first time)
Female | 25
Lack of vitamin D levels in the case of multiple sclerosis patients may be responsible for muscle pain on some occasions. You should be getting enough vitamin D from sunlight or a supplement of vitamin D. Besides that, you can try to make the tension loosen or apply a warm compress to stop the pain. If the pain continues, go to a doctor to get professional advice.

Am 22 girl This has been happening to me for a few days, not every day but sometimes I feel as if something is going on inside my head. It seems as if someone is bleeding flow But no symptoms like pain etc. Pain occurs at some time and that too is normal when I sleep too much. So what is this and is it normal
Female | 22
You get a feeling like bleeding but there are no pains. These symptoms can be caused by stress and anxiety. Sometimes, when we oversleep, we can also have these temporary discomforts. Managing stress is key to a healthy and balanced life. If the symptoms remain or get worse, you should see a neurologist for a check-up.

I am 50 years old female. Doctor has prescribed me 1.bonther xl ( contains methylcobalamin 1500 mcg) twice daily and 2.penogab sr (contains methylcobalamin 1500 mcg ) once daily Is it safe to take 4500 mcg of methylcobalamin daily?
Female | 50
For some people, taking 4500 mg of methylcobalamin every day can be dangerous. If you take too much methylcobalamin, you might get an upset stomach, diarrhea, or a rash. Talk to your doctor if you feel unwell. They might change the amount you take or give you another kind of treatment.

This type of headache can cause pain not only in the head but also in the eyes and sometimes even in the chest. It is often accompanied by severe chills and body aches. Finding a quiet, dark place to rest can help. Drinking water and taking pain relievers like paracetamol can also provide relief.

I am 26 yrs old female from last 2 yrs I have an severe headache right of brain above ear My right side nerve beating fast throbbing badly When I have headache I feel totally blank nausea etc I don't feel good
Female | 26
These symptoms suggest an issue affecting the right side of your head, possibly linked to nerve-induced sound waves, headaches, and nausea. Conditions like tension headaches, migraines, or sinus problems could be causing this. It's important to stay hydrated, eat well, get enough sleep, and manage stress. However, if the symptoms persist or worsen, consult a neurologist for proper evaluation and advice.

My sister had a RTA last year in which she had a paraplegic spinal cord injury,she is doing physiotherapy since one year still can't walk without calipers,has no sensation,she is 20 years old
Female | 20
A spinal cord issue such as hers might result in weakness of stepping and the absence of the sense of touch. It occurs when the spinal cord sustains damage, generally from events such as a car ramming into it. Exercise makes muscles stronger, but full recovery might not be attained.

Problem of Fast Breathing, Shivering and Hesitation
Female | 40
When someone breathes rapidly, trembles, and feels uncertain, it could indicate anxiety or fever. Rapid breathing emerges as the body responds to stress. Shivering might represent the body attempting to raise temperature. Hesitance could stem from worry or fear. To aid, try deep breaths, water consumption, and rest. However, if symptoms persist, it's crucial to seek assistance.

Female | 23
It is quite normal to experience headaches due to hormonal changes and lack of sleep after childbirth. However, headache shooting coupled with chest and throat pain should not be ignored. It is essential to eliminate the fear of serious conditions, such as postpartum preeclampsia or infections. You should go for a medical evaluation as soon as possible to find out the cause and the right treatment.

My brother is of 22 yrs old and doc says that he has brain tumour from childhood and has swelling too doc said to get him operated
Male | 22
If the brain tumor and swelling are diagnosed, you should follow the doctor’s advice, schedule surgery, and take herbal remedies that reduce brain swelling. Brain tumors may be malignant at one end of the spectrum and benign at the other, so you must seek the guidance of a neurologist who concentrates on this field.
