Answered on 23rd Sept '24
Bilateral basal ganglia calcification is a condition where large calcium deposits form in the brain, potentially causing movement issues like stiffness and tremors. These deposits can result from inherited disorders or metabolic disturbances. Treatment typically involves drug therapy and counseling, tailored to the specific symptoms and underlying cause.

Seasonal migraines seem like your issue. Head pain comes back yearly, same time. You might feel sick, sensitive to light or sound, also vision issues. To avoid these, stay hydrated. Get plenty of sleep. Keep stress in check.

I have some memory issue I forget things very easily Tingling sensation in hand and feet Headache Weakness
Female | 17
The possibility that a person may have memory problems, tingling in the hands and feet, headaches, or muscle weakness suggests that there may be a shortage of specific vitamins in his/her body like vitamin B12. Taking vitamin B12 could assist in this deficit and could be found in meat and dairy products.

I am 17 years old an introvert person. I am not able to recognize and differentiate faces, colour , ways. Mamory loss , hearing problem, and low eye sight is the common problem. What is this disease called. What I am so.
Male | 17
You could be experiencing the symptoms of the condition called "Prosopagnosia" which is difficulty in recognizing faces, colors, and places. It can also be memory, hearing, and eyesight affected. This condition arises from a problem in the brain. One way of managing it is to use voice cues and notice features of people to recognize them. It's good to contact a neurologist to get the proper instructions.

I'm from the country and all waste water accumulates in a septic tank. My parents don't usually call that truck home to dump the contents, they take care of it by dumping all the liquid in their own garden on a corn crop. Indeed, we do not actually eat the corn, but we do eat the rest of the nearby plants. But the birds they have, and from which we consume the eggs, consume some of that corn. I am very concerned about my physical health, especially my brain, and my fear is that I may have ingested substances from detergents/toothpaste over time, such as fluoride, which I know is neurotoxic, or other strong substances, etc. . . The usual analyzes always turned out fine for me. I drew their attention to these things and they told me that there are other people who do the same thing and apparently nothing happened. Should I worry/do something about it? I'm thinking that maybe those substances in the detergents and everything that gets there affect the nervous system, the brain. The plants in the garden show no signs of damage, probably because the detergents contain substances similar to fertilizers. Also, I'm wondering if from the feces, if some guest is infected with some parasite, and they then end up on the soil, can I also get them through the plants and affect components of my SN? Does all this accumulate in them? I can't stop eating food/eggs from home because I just started college, I have 6 more years until I can choose what and when to eat, have my own salary. I was thinking that for my own peace of mind, I would have a brain MRI this year to make sure everything is ok, as well as the usual urine test, which he can arrange for from the GP. Do you think it's okay?
Male | 18
While it's natural to worry, it's unlikely that the small amount of substances from detergents or toothpaste in the water would cause significant harm to your brain. Eating the food grown in the garden is generally safe, as plants can filter out harmful substances. It's encouraging to know that your health reports are okay. Getting a brain MRI and urine test for peace of mind is a proactive step, and it's okay to do.

Female | 16
Migraines with aura can happen. They feel dizzy, see colors or spots, sweat a lot. Stress, no sleep, certain foods cause them. Try finding what triggers them. Avoid those things. Drink lots of water. Relax your mind and body. This can help manage the episodes you have.

31 weeks growth scan report shows small head size 27.5 hc will it affect my babys brain development ,how to improve hc in pregnancy
Female | 24
A smaller head circumference (HC) can mean that the baby is not growing as fast as they should be. Genetics and poor food intake are some reasons why this may happen. Ensure you have a well-balanced diet throughout your pregnancy to increase HC; take plenty of nutrients too. In addition, your physician might suggest some supplements or keep a close eye on the infant’s development. Always keep in touch with your doctor so that both of you receive adequate care.

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.

The pain you feel could be caused by stress, not enough sleep, or even dehydration. Try to drink water, lie down in a calm place, and massage your temples gently. If it doesn’t go away or gets worse than before please consult with your doctor immediately.

The most common reasons for this are stress, lack of sleep, and eye strain. Try to relax, get enough sleep, and consider using cold packs on your forehead. If it doesn’t improve, it’s best to see a doctor for further evaluation.

My grandfather age is 69 he had second brain strike and he unable to eat and speak but after 3 month now he able to speak slow slow and today he got anger and eat food by himself without asked anyone after I asked him is any problem to swallow food he said no problem and easy to swallow so please doctor suggest me can we start giving him food by mouth
Male | 69
The symptoms of difficulty eating and speaking are the general ones that occur after a brain stroke. It may be attributed to the muscles used for swallowing being weak. Seeing that he mentioned no problem swallowing and eating by himself, you can slowly start to give him food by mouth. Begin with soft, easy-to-swallow foods and keep track of his progress. Do not forget to communicate with his healthcare team along the way.

Legs are feeling very weak. Feel like sleeping and not eating
Female | 48
Faster or weaker legs, fatigue, and absence of appetite are possible causes of many diseases. It could be due to a lot of sleepless nights or maybe the deficiency of body important nutrients. Have a balanced diet with healthy food, get enough rest, and drink plenty of water. If the symptoms are still there, make sure to visit a neurologist so they can help you find out what's wrong.

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.
