It sounds like your brother is experiencing worsening epilepsy along with sensorineural hearing loss. It's important to consult a neurologist who specializes in epilepsy for proper evaluation and management of his seizures. Additionally, an ENT specialist can assess and guide his hearing loss. It's crucial to seek medical advice promptly to ensure he receives appropriate care and support.

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.

I have tremors after taking medication. Is it tardive dyskinesia or drug-induced Parkinsonism?
Female | 37
This condition could be a result of Tardive Dyskinesia or the so-called Drug-Induced Parkinsonism. On development, tardive dyskinesia, you may experience involuntarily jittery movements in the face and extremities. Functional Parkinsonism may make you look stiff and result in slow movements. Ask your neurologist to adjust or change the dosage of your medication.

Dear Sir, Below i am sending my father MRI report, kindly guide me. MRI REPORT – BRAIN WITH CONTRAST TECHNIQUE: T1W Sagittal, DWI - b1000, ADC, GRE T2W FS Axial, MR Angiogram, FLAIR Axial & Coronal Post contrast images after administration of 5 ml of gadolinium contrast. OBSERVATION: The study reveals an intrasellar mass lesion, with enlargement of the right half of the anterior pituitary gland, extending to the suprasellar cistern. The mass lesion is predominantly isointense to gray matter on T1-weighted images. On T2-weighted images the mass is predominantly isointense to gray matter with internal areas of T2 hyperintensity suggestive of ?necrosis/cystic change. Dynamic postcontrast images revealed decreased/delayed enhancement of the mass lesion as compared to the rest of the pituitary gland. The mass lesion measures 1.2 AP x 1.6 TR x 1.6 SI cm. Superiorly the mass displaces the infundibulum to the left side. A clear CSF plane of cleavage is seen between the superior aspect of the mass lesion and the optic chasm. No significant parasellar extension of the mass lesion is seen. The cavernous segment of both internal carotid arteries show normal flow void. The mass causes mild thinning of the floor of the sella turcica, with slight bulge toward the roof of the sphenoid sinus. MR findings likely represent pituitary adenoma. Confluent and discrete areas of T2/flair hyperintensity are seen in bilateral supratentorial periventricular and subcortical deep white matter, likely representing nonspecific ischemic changes with a combination of leukoariosis, microvascular ischemic changes, lacunar infarcts and prominent perivascular spaces. Basal ganglia and thalami are normal. Midbrain, pons and medulla are normal in signal intensity. The cerebellum appears normal. Bilateral CP angle cisterns are normal. The ventricular system and subarachnoid spaces are normal. No significant midline shift is seen. The cranio-cervical junction is normal. Post-contrast images reveal no other abnormal enhancing pathology. Bilateral maxillary sinus polyps are noted.

My dad is 70 yrs old, had seizures since last October, diagnosed with testicular tumour and hypertension, an operation was done and he was OK, then the seizures recurred again about 6 times since January but last night was the worst. Please help me We're in a war zone and can't take to a hospital What can I do ?
Male | 70
Seizures can be scary, especially when they happen often. In his case, they might be due to the testicular tumor or other health issues. To help him, keep him safe during a seizure by moving away harmful objects and laying him on his side. Comfort him and stay with him until it ends. Watch for any new symptoms and, if possible, gently clean any wounds he may have gotten. It's important to stay calm and supportive. Although you can't go to a hospital right now, keep monitoring his condition and get medical help as soon as possible.

Female | 20
The sensation of pins and needles you experienced can be caused by nerve irritation, peripheral neuropathy, inflammatory conditions, or nerve-related conditions. You must consult with a neurologist for a proper evaluation and diagnosis to figure out the cause and treatment options.

I tend to jump to worse case scenario but I recently got diagnosed with vertigo caused by middle ear fluid and recently it’s came back since where I am the weather has gotten worse and my vision is kind of blurry sometimes and I have a hard time focusing on someone when they are talking how likely is it that this is being caused by a brain tumor and not the middle ear vertigo or am I just completely over thinking this
Female | 21
The blurry vision and the difficulty in focusing can be the vertigo that the ear fluid causes. It is common and it does not mean that you have a brain tumor. The ear fluid can mess up your balance and vision. Usually, it gets better on its own, but you might need medicine or special exercises if the problem keeps bothering you.

Female | 17
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 | 26
You have tinnitus which is the ringing in the ear and you have chills with shivering too. Tinnitus is caused by many different things like loud noises or stress. The chills could be because of an infection. Get lots of rest, drink enough water, and if necessary go to a doctor for more help.

My son 21 years old. Struggling with migrains. Have now started to feel pressure in forehead and dizzy. Have just now taken paracetamol 1 gram. Is it ok to take migraine medication he got from doctor last time now already? He is really scared to wake up and get it like last time. It was really bad with vomiting.
Male | 21
Weakness and sensitivity to light, as well as vomiting, may be the result of migraines. He is on paracetamol which is great, but he can also take the migraine medication his doctor prescribed if it is the case, even though it is soon after the paracetamol. It is important that the doctor’s guidance is adhered to and the medication is taken as instructed which will also help to prevent the next similar episode from happening.

Good evening Doctor one of my cousin who is 11 yrs old last night suddenly her left leg n hand paralysed... Today we took her to the hospital they scanned her spinal cord fluid but the reports are normal ...what is the reason for her condition
Female | 11
It is caused by a temporary breakdown that interrupts the blood flow to the brain or nerves. The result from the spinal cord fluid scan indicates that she is normal. I would insist on regular checking where she can have enough rest, as it is key to her recovery. Typically, the body heals itself after some time, so in most cases, the paralysis will disappear. If, after all this period, she still experiences these symptoms or possibly worsens, then much stress is seen to be caused, and the situation demands continuous communication with her neurologist for safety.

My mother is almost 50 and since 4-5 months her half side of face suddenly pulls to one side like paralysed and after some time it gets normal but now it is occurring more often.
Female | 49
Being a condition named Bell's Palsy, your mother may go through it. It is a thing that happens because of the inflammation of the facial nerve. Medication and exercises that strengthen the muscles can be included in the treatment. You should visit a neurologist for a proper diagnosis and a plan of treatment.

You are experiencing pain and trembling in the morning which can be worrisome. These symptoms are often associated with your nervous or muscular system. One of the common reasons may be poor blood circulation or stress. Try to take fluids in a proper amount and nutrition through a regular diet. You can do some light stretching exercises as well. If it persists, booking an appointment with a neurologist to get a medical certificate is advisable.

Female | 24
You experience stuttering, where speaking smoothly feels difficult. Maybe you feel nervous or tired. For some people, stuttering improves on its own, especially children. However, therapies, and techniques exist to support fluent speech. Speech therapy is one option. It's crucial to discuss with a speech therapist or doctor to find the appropriate path for you.

Male | 50
It is usual to have the side effects of tiredness and drowsiness after use of such drugs. But if they are unable to come to life properly, it may be an indicator that the dosage of the medication needs to be modified. The first few days may be hard for them but then they will start to improve and feel normal again. Make sure they get plenty of sleep and drink lots of water. If the symptoms continue or become more severe, get in touch with their doctor for further instructions.

Previously you were capable of studying for as long as 14-16 hours even after sleeping for 6 hours but now you seem to get sleepy very often. These signs may either come from a respiratory infection or allergic reactions. You must consult a neurologist for a definite diagnosis and a correct treatment.

I'm 26 I have autism astma Suspected ADHD Why do I have cold hands and cold feet in the morning
Male | 26
A cold sensation in the mornings? It’s due to insufficient blood flow to hands and feet. In such cases, it may occur because your limbs' blood vessels get less blood during the night. Other factors such as autism, asthma, and suspected ADHD that require proper organ operation might influence the ways your body regulates its temperature. You can try some of these tips by heating your bedroom, wearing socks to bed, and doing mild exercises in the morning to improve blood circulation.

I'm really glad that you've taken the step of turning to professional help for your left hand after you had a stroke.

The occupational therapy can give you your strength back and improve the functioning through tailored exercises and techniques. It is focused on your skill development in doing practical life activities such as personal care tasks, so your daily life becomes much easier and more fun. My advice is to go an authentic health provider in the rehabilitation department who will open a dialogue to your needs and create an individual treatment plan.
