Answered on 23rd May '24
Brahmi capsules are often used for potential memory enhancement, but their effectiveness varies. Before trying them, consult a doctor due to differences in dosage and individual response. Generally, a 300-450 mg dose in divided amounts is common. Start well in advance of exams. Remember, supplements should complement good study habits, sleep, and a healthy diet. Side effects and interactions exist, so consult a neurology professional.

Kell phenotype positive in blood test! Necessarily Mcleod syndrome should be present ? Will I go mad ? Like king henry ? No kids ?
Male | 25
This is not always the case, occasionally a positive K positive blood test may be diagnosed as McLeod syndrome. McLeod is pretty rare and it has some symptoms that are not found in any other disease such as muscle weakness or even heart problems. The most important thing is to get the ok from a neurologist who will give you more complete details.

Hello, I underwent an anterior discectomy five months ago to address a disc herniation at the C6-C7 level. Initially, only my left hand was affected, but recently, both hands have been experiencing pain and soreness, I mean all the symptoms that had before surger came back again on both hands.
Male | 28
The point to notice is that the symptoms may return even if the surgery is successful. It is strongly recommended that you contact your neurosurgeon's office or orthopedic spine clinic to uncover the title source of your bilateral hand symptoms.

I have had some kind of neuropathy for the past 4.5 years and have level 6/7 pain in my palms, soles, toes, and fingers. I suffer from pin/needle and burning pain. Over the years I have also lost my muscles in both legs, thighs, arms, posteriors, and have become very weak and can hardly walk now. All my symptoms are symmetrical on both sides. Extensive tests including MRI of brain, chest, EMG, abdomen, ABI, spine, etc. have been done but no significant disease has been found. Constant routine blood tests have shown no major problems. I am not diabatic and have not been identified as hypertensive. Some doctors have inconclusively indicated small fiver neuropathy. I have used gabapentin, pregabalin, and duloxetine for pain relief. I continue to become weak due to muscle atrophy. My friends and relatives have suggested treatment in Chennai, and I would like to come to Chennai in a short time hoping for better treatment and cure of my disease. Thank you and looking forward to a quick response.

Sir, I have headache like tight band with nausea,stress,tension. Sir,Please give me some medicines for relief.
Male | 17
I see that you have a tight band headache around your head and feel like vomiting because of anxiety and stress as well. These signs might mean that you have a tension-type headache; typically caused by bad posture at work or eyestrain from looking at computer screens all day long. You could take some painkillers such as paracetamol or ibuprofen to help relieve the pain in your head. Moreover try and calm down by breathing deeply plus drink lots of water. If this feeling doesn’t go away please go see a doctor so they can check it out.

Female | 49
You might be dealing with stress, maybe too much strain or not enough rest. The human body reacts to stress in such a way that all these things can happen. To feel better, the recommended course of action is: to relax more, try to get some sleep, and practice breathing exercises or do some gentle exercises.

Seizures cause loss of consciousness, and jerky movements. They may stem from epilepsy, head trauma, medical issues. Evaluation and treatment from a neurologist is crucial. Medications and therapies help manage seizures, improving quality of life. It sounds like the patient could be experiencing seizures.

I’m 25 year old men, I have fever & feeling something is stuck in my front neck plus I have finger numbness and chest stiffness
Male | 25
The rise in temperature with the sensation that something is lodged in your throat may be an infection or an inflamed area within it. On the other hand, having your fingers get numb while experiencing tightness around the chest could also imply bad blood flow or nerve-related issues. You must take a break, drink a lot of water, and see a doctor so you can receive proper medication.

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 am 17 year old female,I am having this constant achey pain on the side of the temple and the left side of my middle of the head. These pains are not felt by me unless I press on them . I also have a neck pain, shoulder pain and back pain,with dizziness and fatigue.
Female | 17
If you wake up in the morning with a dull ache running from your temples and shoulders down to your back, accompanied by dizziness and tiredness, you might have tension headaches. These headaches are often caused by stress, poor posture, and eye strain. Meditation and yoga can help, along with checking your posture, taking short breaks from screen time, and getting enough sleep at night. If the symptoms persist, make an appointment to discuss your condition with a neurologist.

I have been having consistent headaches and pain all over my head for more than a month now, i usually feel like liquid flowing in my head sometimes, when the headache starts it makes me stressed and angry. Please help me I really need solution to this it's really dealing with me.
Male | 23
Persistent headaches and head pain may be caused by several different factors such as tension, vision fatigue, insufficient fluid intake, and even migraine. The situation of liquid flowing in your head may be connected to sinuses or tension headaches. Consume enough water, handle stress effectively, get sufficient sleep, and go to a neurologist to find the exact reason and receive the correct treatment.

Male | 14
Bell’s palsy is a condition where facial muscles on one side of the face are not functioning properly, thus causing the affected part to droop. Smoking or vaping can make your recovery take longer. These kinds of practices can be a good reason to avoid them when you are sick because more time your body requires to recover.

I’m an 18 year old female who has had temporal pain for around 10 years now. I have tried paracetamol but it doesn’t work. I’ve been to the doctors countless times and they say everything is fine. Sometimes my jaw hurts, also i have had decreased hearing. It hurts more when i press the inner part of the ear and when i move it. What should i do?
Female | 18
From your description of symptoms like jaw pain and reduced hearing, it can be pointed to temporomandibular joint disorder (TMD) as a probable cause of the problem. TMD can be the jaw joint and surrounding muscles, which are sore and stiffer than before. Also, one may notice some symptoms like ear pain and changes in hearing. Seek advice from a dentist who will check you up thoroughly and prescribe you the needed therapies. The dentist can create a successful plan for handling your symptoms.

I'm 32 yrs old and feeling dizziness and vomiting sensation in sleep Not able to sleep
Male | 32
Inner ear problems, low blood sugar, or even anxiety are examples of things that can invoke the said symptoms. On the other hand, you can use this sleeping position technique of slightly lifting your head, smaller meals before sleeping, and drinking enough water all day to minimize it. For persistent symptoms, the best option is to consult a neurologist for proper diagnosis and evaluation.

There could be several reasons behind this. Perhaps you’re not taking in enough fluids or stood up too quickly. It may even be an issue with one of your ears such as an infection. The best thing to do is sit down, relax, and have a drink of water. If it keeps happening, talk to a doctor.

I've been suffering from chronic headaches for nearly 10 years, and I've been taking Vasograin daily to manage the pain. If I don't take the medicine, the headache starts again, and it happens every day.Why is it happening ?
Female | 38
You are possibly having a kind of headache referred to as a "medication overuse headache." The condition may arise if you are too dependent on medications such as Vasograin which brings about pain relief. The medicine is responsible for daily headaches that return if not taken. The method is to use Vasograin less frequently and under medical supervision. This way, the cycle of overuse will be interrupted, and the treatment of your headaches will be more efficient.
