Is Nighttime Wakefulness Balanced by Morning Sleep Healthy?
if i stay awake the whole night but i sleep in the morning to balance the amount of sleep i require per day, is it harmful for my body?

Answered on 7th June '24
Staying awake all night and sleeping during the day can disrupt your natural sleep-wake cycle, leading to potential health issues like fatigue, poor concentration, and weakened immunity. It is best to maintain a regular sleep schedule. Please consult a sleep specialist or a general physician to discuss your sleep patterns and get personalized advice.

Female | 23
According to your LS spine MRI, you can discern that you most probably have a herniated disc. You should make an appointment with a spinal-disorder specialist to get more thorough advice and treatment.

Sir, I am 17 years old. I have headache for last one year. I have also some symptoms like nausea,sickness, tension,stress. I forget what I say.
Male | 17
The condition of a person can worsen due to having headaches, nausea, and being under pressure from having too much work to do. This type of symptoms may occur due to different things such as; lack of enough sleep, poor eating habits, or being overwhelmed by what is happening around them. Make sure you look after yourself. Get enough sleep and eat well.

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.

Woman, 25 years, 65 kg weight, 173 cm height. Headache all the time for last 5-10 years, sometimes very strong,I have even lost consciousness, but usually semi strong all the time, it gets better only when someone is pushing(squeezing) my head, best from front (forehead).
Female | 25
You might be a victim of tension headaches. The pain can often be described as a squeezing sensation around your head. The stresses in life can eventually lead to the worsening of these issues. They are also capable of causing you to lose consciousness. Start with relaxation techniques like slow breathing and easy neck moves. Never forget to drink water and reduce the stress to prevent these headaches. If the headaches continue or worsen, a visit to a neurologist is always recommended.

Female | 22
You look like you are having weakness, with an unfamiliar sensation in your neck, and a spacey stomach. The causes could be varied, like a viral infection or dehydration. It is a must to drink water and have a rest. If they last long or become stronger, it is better to get a neurologist to guide you on what to do.

Dear Dr. My 15 year old has been diagnosed with generalized tonic clonic epilepsy. He has done 2 eegs. 1st eeg (done November 23) said it posterior dominant rhythm was 12 hz. The 2nd one (done November 24) said it's posterior dominant rhythm is 9 hz. 1st eeg: bilateral synchronous anterior predominant spikewave epiltiform recorded occuring isolated or 400-600 ms. 2nd eeg: bilateral synchronous anterior predominant spikewave epiltiform recorded at maximal @ FP@,F4,F8,FP1,F3,F7 in 600 ms. Stage II was obtained. Is there improvement between the 2 or has it worsened slightly? The Conclusiofor the 2nd was This was an abnormal awake, drowsy and stage II sleep electroencephalogram. Bilateral synchronous anteriorly predominant spike-wave epileptiform discharges were recorded as described above. In the correct clinical setting, these findings are suggestive of a genetic generalized epilepsy with the differential diagnosis of a frontal focus with rapid secondary bilateral synchrony. Is the conclusion serious?
Male | 15
Dear Parent, Thank you for your inquiry. The EEG results show some epileptiform activity that is ongoing, which can be of great concern. The change from a 12 Hz to a 9 Hz rhythm and being assured of the findings suggests that although there is some activity, it does not necessarily represent a change of the situation; rather, it may just indicate differences in the EEG readings. The summary implies that the patient may have a genetically generalized epilepsy that is treatable with continuous medical care. Please, I advise you to analyze the mentioned details with your doctor in order to have the necessary treatment and your child's support get quality. Best wishes, [Your Name]

My son is 5yrs old. He is suffering by autism. What are the treatment here for the autism?
Male | 5
The signs in kids may involve having trouble with social interactions, repeating certain behaviors, and speech being delayed. As of now, there is no known cause for this condition. Treatment can consist of different therapies such as occupational therapy which focuses on skills needed for day-to-day living, behavioral therapy aims at managing symptoms so they don’t interfere too much with life quality, or even just speech therapy if that’s where most help seems necessary. Be sure to team up with a neurologist who will assist in coming up with a treatment plan that best fits your son.

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.

I am 58 years old, I suffer mnd, how to cure it?
Male | 58
MND is short for motor neuron disease. A few standard symptoms of this disease are muscle weakness, twitching, and trouble walking. What happens is that the nerve cells controlling movement gradually die off, causing MND. Unfortunately, there is currently no cure for it. Though, treatments exist that can help to manage symptoms and improve your quality of life. For example, physical therapy may be used alongside drugs to enhance mobility and comfort levels. You must collaborate closely with a neurologist so that they can figure out the most suitable treatment plan for you.

An MRI finding of zoe is left temporal sclerosis the doctor gives her medicine to take for 1 years but i have a question for this case if it can be curable by surgery?
Female | 10
Left temporal sclerosis as seen by MRI at Zoe implies that some of the brain cells are not functioning properly. This can result in seizures that resemble staring or shaking. Zoe's doctor prescribed medications for a year to control seizures. In some cases, surgery can help if medications are not effective. The surgeons can remove the part of the brain causing the problem. Consult with your neurologist to determine the best course of treatment for you.

I am having hormonal migraines due to my period starting soon. My go-to remedies are not having any effect lately. I have already taken Excedrin but with no improvement. I want to take naproxen-sumatriptan. Can I take this after taking Excedrin? How long should I wait?
Female | 29
If Excedrin hasn't provided relief for your hormonal migraines, it's best not to take naproxen sumatriptan without consulting a doctor. Combining medications without guidance can be harmful. Seek advice from a healthcare provider or pharmacist for a safe alternative or proper timing to take naproxen-sumatriptan.

Female | 63
It seems that your mother experienced a stroke on her right side, which initially affected her ability to talk but left her memory intact. It's possible that the administration of Zyprexa (an antipsychotic medication) and Ativan (a sedative) may have been done to manage symptoms related to the stroke, such as agitation or anxiety.

I'm having stroke symptoms
Female | 19
It is essential to recognize any unusual signs your body shows if you suspect you may be experiencing stroke symptoms. These signs can include sudden numbness or weakness in your face, arms, or legs. A stroke is a medical emergency that occurs when your brain doesn’t receive enough blood, usually due to an artery being blocked by a blood clot. If you notice these symptoms, call emergency services immediately.

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.
