Did drops from aquarium give me brain-eating amoeba?
I was cleaning yesterday my aquarium and some drops of water touched my nose,I saw recently a video about the brain eating amoeba and I am afraid if I got it.I know how deadly it is

Answered on 6th Nov '24
The chance of you getting the brain-eating amoeba from the water that touches your nose is very low. This amoeba infects the body via the nose and results in an uncommon infection. Symptoms include headache, fever, nausea, and if severe, changes in mental status. The best way to avoid this is not to swim in freshwater areas where amoebas may be present.

Hi sir / mam My self Paras Agrawal from Indore , I am having sharp headache one just above the right side eye . Pls guide me for cure and treatment .
Male | 35
You probably have a migraine. A migraine can be characterized by a very severe stabbing headache over one side of the head. Other symptoms you may encounter are light and sound sensitivity. Stress, a lack of sleep, some foods, or hormonal changes are among the common causes. For example, you can use these methods if you have headaches: try to rest in a dark, quiet room, drink plenty of water, and avoid triggers like caffeine and processed foods.

Since your headache has lasted for three days and is on one side of your head, it’s important to see a neurologist to rule out any serious conditions. In the meantime, continue to rest, stay hydrated, and avoid stress. Please visit a neurologist for a proper diagnosis and treatment.

Frequently numb hands or tingling feelings in the hands may indicate carpal tunnel syndrome. It happens when the median nerve, which travels from your forearm to your hand through a narrow passageway called the carpal tunnel, is squeezed or compressed. It is recommended that you consult a neurologist early enough for proper treatment.

Respected Dr sahab I suffered laziness and tiredness every time but I taken satvit plus co q forte not batter. My sugar, thyroid, vitamin D and vitamin b12 all are ok. pl suggest
Male | 45
If your sugar, thyroid, vitamin D, and vitamin B12 are all normal, then the Satvit Plus Co Q Forte may not be the best choice for you. It is possible that you are just feeling tired due to a lack of sleep or stress. Consider getting more sleep, exercising regularly, and reducing stress. In addition, make sure you are eating a balanced diet with plenty of fruits and vegetables and avoiding processed foods. Finally, if you are still feeling tired, consider talking to your doctor about other potential causes and treatments.

It appears as if your fiancée is feeling an electric shock, leading up to a painless or prickling sensation in his hand. I suggest that you urgently have to bring your fiancé to a doctor. Here, the consultant is a neurologist. Seeking medical care immediately is essential.

Female | 19
It seems you may have an infection, maybe a virus. When your body fights an infection, it can make you dizzy, hot, and tired. It is important to rest, drink lots of water and juice, and eat good food. If you feel worse or the same, you should see a neurologist.

What causes muscle and nerve pains in my legs thighs and arms that comes and goes with no fever
Female | 25
Fibromyalgia causes achy pains. These pains go away and come back without fever. Fibromyalgia hurts muscles and nerves in legs, thighs, and arms. It makes you feel tired too. Stress worsens fibromyalgia pains. Lack of sleep and weather changes worsen it also. Gentle exercises and relaxation methods might help too. Getting enough sleep is important. Eating healthy foods can help fibromyalgia. Managing stress levels might help as well.

Male | 46
Symptoms such as fever, headache, throwing up, diarrhea, and nervousness could point towards a stomach bug or food poisoning. These might also leave you feeling light-headed or generally unwell. Make sure to drink enough water, get plenty of rest, and stick with bland foods if this is what you’re going through. If your condition doesn’t improve or gets worse than before, please see a doctor so they can examine you properly and give appropriate treatment options.

I recommend taking the medication as prescribed to you by your doctor. But if you experience any side effects from it or want to go for some other treatment, you can talk to your neurologist. He will suggest some other treatments based on your condition like lifestyle changes, CBT or acupuncture etc. Also, follow-ups is must.

Hello Mr. Baburao.You would need evaluation for the jerks that u get in your legs. It could be a spine-related problem. You would probably need a spine MRI.

Neurological issues on going 18 mths, no doc is helping me now worse pain all over my left side body and chronic headaches and head pressure also experiencing electric shock sensations from head to abdomen and horrible spasams in chest and pain in left breast and sholder and neck
Female | 40
Pain on your left side and chronic headaches, the two motions you report might stem from several causes for instance nerve trouble or muscle health issues. The electric shock, which you describe as the jerk and jolt you feel, may well be associated with the nerve sensations. It mimics or is seen as the breathing pattern of a muscle when someone overuses or tightens the muscle during a workout, causing intercostal muscle pain. You should be upfront with your health issues and choose a neurologist to get an appropriate diagnosis followed by a treatment plan that is suitable for you.

The causes of these types of headaches are lack of adequate sleep, stress, dehydration, or even certain foods. To ease the pain, you may make sure you drink enough water, have proper sleep, do not allow stress to take over, and stay away from trigger foods. If the symptoms persist, it is good to visit a doctor

My grandfather age is 69 one month before he has second brain stroke attack for 1 month he unable to speak and eat also unable to move tough
Male | 69
When someone has a stroke, it can affect their ability to speak, eat, and move. This happens because parts of the brain that control these things get damaged. It’s important for him to be monitored closely by medical professionals to provide proper care, support, and therapy to help him regain functions. Patience, love, and proper medical care are key in his recovery journey.

Hi what causes fatigue , chest pain , pressure in my head , weakness in my left arm and leg , irregular heartbeat , I have bad dental and a lump at the base of my skull , low blood pressure
Female | 30
From what you describe, carotid artery disease could be causing your issues. This condition blocks blood vessels in your neck. It can lead to tiredness, chest discomfort, head pressure, and left arm/leg weakness. The irregular heartbeat, poor dental health, and skull base lump may relate. Reduced blood flow from the blockage could cause low blood pressure. To properly address this, seeking medical evaluation and treatment is vital.

I am patient of epilepsy last from 14 to 15 years. I have consulted many neurologist during this time but no recovery. Can you please help me.?
Female | 29
The condition of the brain which is responsible for recurring seizures is called Epilepsy. Seizures may differ from one individual to another who may either have a staring spell, muscle jerk, or a blackout. Generally, it takes a long time to get well with the medication, or in some cases, even surgery is required. Do not forget to adhere to your neurologist's recommendations for the best treatment possible and continue your checkups regularly.

Hello, I am suffering from muscle weakness of hands and legs for 2 weeks. 4 days ago doctor confirmed that I have GBS (AMAN) by NCS and CSF study test. But my physical condition is better than most other patient. I am explaining my conditions to you : - I can walk but slowly and not like normal me - I can stand up from sitting on the bed - I can't stand up from sitting on the floor - I can't stand up from sitting on the sofa - I can lift a highest 500 ml bottle with hands - I can eat like a normal person but I have to give a little pressure in the neck - I can't cough with the full strength My condition is improving a little day by day. Doctor haven't suggested IVIG or Plasma exchange for the treatment. They said I will be cured by only Physiotherapy and Exercise. What are your comments about my physical condition ? Can you suggest me something for that will help me to recover soon ? Thanks is Advance...
Male | 22
This may cause weakness in the muscles of the hands and legs. I am glad that you are getting better. What has been recommended by your doctor is very important- physiotherapy and exercise. These two things can strengthen your muscles and help you regain your ability to move around. Ensure that you strictly adhere to what they say and remember that healing will take time so don’t get tired of waiting.
