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.

Tingling feet and hand, back pain

Male | 30

The tingling sensation on toes and hands and spine pain could be symptoms of nerve damage or pressure. It is best to see a neurologist who may perform tests to determine the cause and provide suitable treatment. Ignoring these symptoms only means that there will be more complications.

Treatment for parkinson disease

Treatment for Parkinson's disease focuses on managing symptoms and improving quality of life. This typically involves medication to increase dopamine levels, physical therapy to improve mobility, occupational therapy to enhance daily living skills, and speech therapy for speech and swallowing difficulties. 
In advanced cases, deep brain stimulation may be considered. Exercise and stress management, are also important. The treatment approach is normally tailored to each individual's needs and may require regular adjustments and monitoring.

But my memory issues will take how much time to resolve after Inter parenchymal bleed it's been already 2 months I haven't forgotten completely but I can't literally recall my past events and remember new events accordingly everything I miss out the dates and times

Male | 23

You are worried about your memory after bleeding within the brain. It is not uncommon for people to have these types of problems with their memories following such events. Some of the symptoms may involve having trouble remembering things that have occurred recently or forgetting appointments altogether; also clock watching could be difficult too. This can affect anyone at any age.

Sir my name is venu gopal and I am 26 years old sir I am sweating only one side of my face and hands what is the reason sir

Male | Kasam venu gopal

Sweating excessively on one side of your face and one hand may be due to Frey’s syndrome, which is a condition that develops as a result of damaged nerves from surgery or injury. The key sign is sweating when you eat or see food. You can try antiperspirants or medication, and if necessary, have botox injections. Don’t forget to drink water and avoid spicy foods too often.

Female | 18

The type of headaches you are having, which more often than not, are very intense, with earache, dizziness, and hypersensitivity to light and sound, all symptoms suggest a likely migraine. Migraines occur when your brain is hypersensitive to the things that your body would normally be able to cope with such as stress, lack of sleep, or even something you eat. To achieve the goal of migraine control, you can use a headache diary, stay hydrated, be well-rested, and avoid the triggers. Even if the symptoms get more serious or become a major obstacle in your everyday activities, it's always a good move to seek medical advice from a healthcare practitioner.

Female | 47

 Although medications and electroconvulsive therapy are effective in alleviating depressed state, she can still be feeling sick. Recovery is on a personal level and it depends on the specific individual, yet sticking to treatment is vital. If watched closely the antidepressants could not only help feeling better but also bring down pain. Please engage in regular communication with her healthcare provider for the best outcome, monitor if the medication is effective and require adjustments if necessary.

A stroke occurs when the flow of blood to the brain is hindered, causing weakness or trouble in moving a limb on one side of the body. Symptoms that may develop in this condition are fever, cough, and physical weakness. It is absolutely vital to get medical attention immediately if a stroke is suspected, as early intervention is crucial for recovery.

I havent slept for 37 hours am i in danger?

Male | 21

It sounds like you're struggling with sleep. Short-term sleep deprivation can cause fatigue, dizziness, difficulty focusing, mood swings, and forgetfulness. It's important to address this issue promptly, as an ongoing lack of sleep can seriously affect your health and cognitive abilities. Try techniques like deep breathing, calming music, or creating a comfortable sleep environment to help you relax. If sleep problems persist or you're worried about your sleep patterns, consider seeking advice from a doctor or a sleep specialist.
