Jerky motions in a baby's arms may be infantile spasms, a seizure disorder common around this age. These sudden twitches in limbs need medical care quickly. See a pediatric neurologist soon for proper tests and plan. Early action matters to avoid issues and help the baby's growth.

Could you kindly advise treatment for HSP gene11, outcomes, side effects, any long term results please (for my sister, now cannot walk unaided, requires 4wheel mobility walker). Thank you.
Female | 63
The overexpression of HSP gene11 can cause a wide variation of effects and side effects. It can be long-term, and will for example impede walking, maybe, as your sister, has difficulty walking anymore. Obtaining help from a neurologist who treats Hereditary Spastic Paraplegia (HSP) for the right treatment and management is indispensable in this case.

Dr but my memory issues due to brain bleeding will be improved know ?I will recover from memory loss knw?
Male | 23
The reason behind this may be that the bleeding has put pressure on your brain and harmed the tissues responsible for memory. Regaining lost memories varies from person to person depending on how much they have been damaged. The methods used in curing include giving the mind enough time to heal, physical therapy, and at times drugs to help with recollection. To get the best results it’s important that you do as the neurologist tells you.

I feel dizziness n muscle strain Little bit headache what medicine is good
Female | 27
It seems like you’re not doing very well. Dizziness, muscle tension, and a small headache can result from several things. It may be that you’re dehydrated or stressed out. To alleviate this, try taking a break, drinking some water, and doing light exercises. In case your condition doesn’t improve or becomes worse, it would be best to consult a neurologist for proper medical advice.

My partner has had a total of 3 seizures from overdoses. She's sober now & I really need to know the health implications, mainly in relation to brain function / impairment. The reason I am even more worried on top of the seizures, is that during each one her whole body would go limp, and her eyes would go blank. I don't mean like looking forward, I mean a legitimate dead look to it, a glaze, I was somewhat reminded of cataracts; seemed as if her actual soul was disconnected from her body & her lips would start going gray/blue; shallow breathing if any at all during this specific part. Put simply, it looks as if she was momentarily dead..
Female | 24
Her seizures from overdoses are a serious concern. If your partner is sober now, it is important for her to visit a neurologist to treat any long-term effects of her overdoses.

Female | 19
Maybe your friend will be feeling that she/he is very sleepy, very dizzy, or may lose consciousness. This occurs because the body is overwhelmed by the drug. It is crucial to take the right steps immediately and calling emergency services is an important one. They will give the needed treatment so that your friend can heal.

What is going on am I ok should I wake up my mom I am fluent in English I can’t type well im having issues
Male | 15
Shaking, racing heart, weakness, balance issues, and fast thinking are signs of different issues. Low blood sugar due to a poor diet, anxiety, or other medical conditions can be the cause. It's important to get help. For now, consume something with sugar, such as a piece of fruit or a teaspoon of honey. Do not forget to see a neurologist and get a proper evaluation.

Sir I have had two foot foot drop for the last few years, let me know the solution
Male | 42
The best solution for foot drop is usually an AFO (ankle-foot orthosis) brace. This brace helps to keep the ankle in the correct position and supports the foot, allowing you to lift it more easily. Your doctor may also recommend physical therapy or other treatments, such as electrical stimulation or surgery, to help strengthen and improve the function of the muscles in your foot and ankle.

Yesterday I had leg and feets pain like sprain today at night suddenly it started twitching it was so intense that I was moving my legs hands arm it was more in arm I was crying out ???? and and teeth were shivering and now suddenly my pain disappeared and shivering also disappeared I still can't stop crying. my forehead is hot and my teeth are shivering but I am not feeling much cold on my feet but there is some coldness
Female | 18
The twitching and shaking may be the result of muscle spasms caused by dehydration, low levels of certain minerals like potassium or calcium, or overexertion of muscles. A hot forehead could be a sign of increased body temperature. Be sure to drink enough water and eat foods rich in minerals like bananas, nuts, and dairy products. On the other hand, taking a warm bath and resting can also help relax your muscles. If these symptoms continue, it is necessary to see a neurologist.

The symptoms you decribed can have various possible causes. Talk to a neurologist for a proper evaluation and diagnosis of your symptoms. They can assess your medical history, conduct a physical examination, and order any necessary tests or imaging to determine the main cause of your symptoms.

Hello. I am a male about to marry a 23 y/o female who at the age of 19 was diagnosed with Focal Epilepsy Affecting Frontal Lobe. I am trying to see whether it is a good idea to marry and start a family with this girl. The problem is her head and eyes move to the right when she has an episode which is usually triggered by eye contact and nervousness. So her neurologist perscribed Lacosamide twice a day which she says has prevented her from having an episode in over a year, but I want to check with you if this is true/common? Also will her illness get worse later down the line especially when we start having kids? Will it spread to other parts of the brain and what will happen if that occurs? She says the side effects of the medicine is she gets drowsy and sleepy sometimes, how often does that last? Thank you.
Female | 23
While Lacosamide can effectively prevent epilepsy episodes, its side effects like drowsiness are common. It's advisable to consult with a neurologist regarding the long-term effects of epilepsy and its potential impact on family planning. Specialists like neurologists can provide personalized guidance based on individual health conditions.

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 would suggest you seek help from a neurologist for your persisting headaches. It is possible that the sensation you feel in your eye is associated with your headache or is caused by another eye problem.

Female | 36
This can be due to various reasons. It may be because you are not taking in enough water, or perhaps you are feeling stressed or tired. Things such as not eating regularly or having low blood sugar can also make you feel this way. Drink a lot of water, take a proper diet, and avoid overexertion. Suppose in case dizziness persists, it is feasible to check with your doctor so that any serious issues will be identified.

You may be experiencing symptoms that could relate to anxiety, stress, or a heart or respiratory issue. Chest tightness, dizziness, and fear can be concerning, so it’s best to consult a cardiologist or a psychiatrist. They can help find the root cause and guide you with proper treatment.

Female | 15
You're going through some troubling symptoms. Uneven breathing, constant headaches, and sudden dizziness can point to some internal problems. These symptoms could be a result of the conditions affecting your heart, lungs, or even the brain. A visit to a neurologist is necessary for a correct diagnosis and treatment.

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.

Hello, my 16-year-old son has been living with epilepsy for approximately 6-7 years. We have consulted multiple doctors and tried various treatments and medications. Unfortunately, the prescribed medications have been unable to effectively manage his seizures. Over the past three days, he has been experiencing severe seizures that we have never seen before. Could you please advise if your hospital has a specialized neurologist with expertise in epilepsy treatment and surgery? We would greatly appreciate any feedback you can provide, including testimonials from other patients who have received care at your hospital. Additionally, we would like to know the price list for all treatments, including surgeries, and the types of surgeries you perform. We are currently exploring options for our son's care and would appreciate any guidance you can offer. Thank you, and we look forward to your response.

It’s always very worrying when a child’s seizures are as intense as you say and don’t seem to be affected by any drugs. This needs attention right away. When medicine doesn’t help, sometimes surgery will. The cost of treatment may depend on different things and I think it would be good for you to talk with the staff about that.
