My grandfather age is 69 2 month before he had a second brain stroke after 1 year of first brain stroke and after 2 second he unable speaker,unable tongue and eat food and unable to open mouth we feed him by nv tube but now he is able to open mouth and able to move tongue slowly in forward direction but tongue is tilt left side suggest what to do now for fully recovery of tongue

Male | 69

Your grandfather might be experiencing tongue problems acquired after a recent stroke. This is the term for dysphagia, which is difficulty in swallowing and speaking. Amazingly, he can now open his mouth and move his tongue slowly. For him to make a full recovery, speech therapy might be useful. Exercises and techniques help in the aspect of toning control of the tongue and swallowing, adding to the general treatment of dysphagia.

Male | 6

It sounds like your son might be experiencing an eye movement disorder, which could be a sign of a neurological issue. I recommend taking him to a pediatric neurologist as soon as possible to get a proper diagnosis and treatment.

A daytime sleep schedule not only helps a patient with fibromyalgia to get better but is also of paramount importance to them to avoid sleeping after midnight. Sleep can aggravate or diminish pain, tiredness, and even exacerbations. Adjusting the sleep schedule 3-4 hours before midnight might be a good way to augment sleep quality. Convince your mother to give sleep a priority so that she can not only reduce what she is experiencing but also have better overall health.

My uncle is 67 years old with lung cancer and been in remission for a while. He suffers bad migraines. He was getting shots and nothing worked. He said he hit his head a couple times and developed a subdermal hematoma. He started throwing up and took him to er they transferred him to toledo hospital where they did burr holes and released blood from his brain. He is not recovering or answering any questions properly. Now he has air in the burrs. Last scan showed no air but blood has moved to the back of his head. They are giving fentanyl by IV and npo. 3 days not eating.He is confused and restrained. No communication with a doctor since after surgery We been here since Thursday He had his surgery friday. Should I take him somewhere else? His cancer is not killing him. These headaches from chemo and radiation after effects I believe.

Male | 67

The headache and confusion he is experiencing might be due to the hematoma, which is a blood clot in his brain. The air in the burr holes is concerning. The brain cannot tolerate excess blood, as it may cause problems. At least the pain medicine is helping him. His recovery process might be a bit lengthy. It's important to stay in constant communication with the doctors at the hospital.

Migraine­s can be very hard. They ofte­n come with throbbing pain in your head. You may fee­l sick to your stomach. Light and sounds make it worse. Not enough sle­ep and stress can cause migraine­s. Some foods can start them too. Make sure­ you eat good stuff. Drink lots of water. Get lots of re­st. If headaches kee­p happening, talk to a doctor.

Is this situation is curable. What is the life expectancy in mctd with mg

Female | 55

It seems you might be dealing with Mixed Connective Tissue Disease (MCTD) along with Myasthenia Gravis (MG). In this condition, the immune system attacks healthy tissues, leading to symptoms like muscle weakness, fatigue, and shortness of breath. While there is no miracle cure, treatment options can help manage the symptoms. With the right care and treatment, many people can still enjoy a good quality of life.

I am a nurve patient, but my disease is not anymore, then also I am taking medicine, So my question is that within how many days can I decrease medicine power

Male | 25

When symptoms disappear, it indicates that the treatment is working. For nerve problems, the patient should gradually change medication. The body needs time, usually a few months, to adjust to a new dose before considering reducing it. If you rush this process, symptoms may return.

I am suffering the following: - Post Polio Residual Paralysis cerebral vascular accident Is it coming under Multiple disability or Locomotor Disability

Male | 64

Your conditions, Polio Residual Paralysis and cerebral vascular accident (stroke) would generally be categorized as "Multiple Disabilities" rather than "Locomotor Disability." Multiple Disabilities involve coexisting impairments in different body systems, while Locomotor Disability typically refers to issues related to mobility. It's important to consult a medical professional for accurate classification.

I am a 37 years old female. From the past few days I am feeling an ache inside the left side of my head at regular intervals. I also feel my head spinning and heavy quite often. Sometimes I feel cold and sometimes I sweat. I also feel my body weak quite often and sometimes feel I may fall. Sometimes I feel a pull on the backside of my head and that part paining, though it isn't a severe or constant pain. I am not able to tell this to my parents as they recently faced a huge tragedy and I don't get the courage to speak to them and give them more pain. Since the time I get up I look forward to going to sleep again as that's the only time I feel better and tension free. Is this a passing phase or serious health issue? Are these signs of brain inflammation/tumor? Will be grateful to you if you advice me what my next step should be.

Female | 37

As your symptoms indicate, you may be suffering from a migraine or tension headache. But one should not exclude the possibility of serious conditions. I suggest consulting a neurologist for further detailed diagnosis. While you wait, work on reducing your stress and have a good sleep at night. Recall that your health should be considered first and you might need medical attention if the situation requires so.

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.

I am 50 years old female. Doctor has prescribed me 1.bonther xl ( contains methylcobalamin 1500 mcg) twice daily and 2.penogab sr (contains methylcobalamin 1500 mcg ) once daily Is it safe to take 4500 mcg of methylcobalamin daily?

Female | 50

For some people, taking 4500 mg of methylcobalamin every day can be dangerous. If you take too much methylcobalamin, you might get an upset stomach, diarrhea, or a rash. Talk to your doctor if you feel unwell. They might change the amount you take or give you another kind of treatment.
