Valproate (Valproic Acid) is often effective for managing seizures, but it may cause side effects like fatigue, weight changes, or gastrointestinal discomfort. Monitoring his response is essential. Common symptoms of epilepsy include convulsions, unusual movements, or temporary confusion. Causes can vary from genetic factors to brain injuries. Ensuring a consistent medication schedule is vital for stability. Always keep communication open with healthcare providers to adjust treatments as needed. If you notice any new symptoms or concerns, don’t hesitate to consult a neurologist for further guidance.

Doctor, can I take 1500 mcg vitamin b12 supplements to increase my brain function as I am a student.

Female | 15

Taking 1500 mcg vitamin B12 supplements may not be required if you do not have a B12 deficiency. B12 deficiency symptoms can involve such matters as depression, dizziness, and memory loss. A blood test is a way to see your vitamin B12 levels. Only in case of a deficiency, the correct dose will be pointed out by your doctor.

He can't walk carefully he falls down,he can't set on the floor he set on chair,he can't speak clearly and he is physically so weak he 7 years old.his weight is 17kg and his height is 105cm

Some kids have difficulty with movement and speaking clearly. This can stem from various reasons. One possibility for a child this age is a neuromuscular disorder, which affects the muscles and nerves involved in movement and speech. It's crucial to take the child to a pediatric specialist for tests to determine the exact cause. Meanwhile, ensure the child gets plenty of rest and proper nutrition. Avoid activities that risk falls or injuries. Addressing symptoms promptly helps the child feel better and stronger.

Could be related to a complex network of nerves in your head and face. One possibility is that the sensation could be due to referred pain or sensory connections between different nerves.

Hellp! I am someone with MS. I have very low vitamin D levels and have had that flr a while. I an currently experiencing pain in my left leg. In both knee and thigh. I have pain and can not stand on it as usual. It is the second time in less than 2 weeks (my knee, first time)

Female | 25

Lack of vitamin D levels in the case of multiple sclerosis patients may be responsible for muscle pain on some occasions. You should be getting enough vitamin D from sunlight or a supplement of vitamin D. Besides that, you can try to make the tension loosen or apply a warm compress to stop the pain. If the pain continues, go to a doctor to get professional advice.

Air can sometime­s pass through the top of your head when you bre­athe. It may be due to a tiny hole­ in your skull or close to your sinuses. Or, you may have a blocke­d nose passage. See­ a doctor to know for sure. They can tell you the­ right reason and give treatme­nt if needed.

Please help me I'm 38 years old I have pain all over my body I feel sick all the time I'm tried all the time and I have nights sweats for the last week

Male | 38

It seems like you may have some symptoms which could mean many things. Pain everywhere, feeling bad a lot, always being worn out, and sweating at night are all signs of different illnesses. A virus infection might be one cause but so could an immune system disorder or even just stress alone. You need to see a doctor so that they can find out what is going on with you exactly--and then give feedback that is helpful for treating whatever this turns out to be.
