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.

MND or Motor Neuron Disease is a severe disorder that causes damage to the nerve cells responsible for controlling muscles. MND patients have various treatment choices that are based on symptoms. Hence it is important that anyone suspected as having MND must immediately consult a neurologist or an MND specialist for correct diagnosis and treatment.

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.

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.

Why do I feel like pins are poking on my skin and whenever I try to move it hurts badly
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.

if i stay awake the whole night but i sleep in the morning to balance the amount of sleep i require per day, is it harmful for my body?
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.

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 name is Ashish. I have a headache since last 1 year due to which my daily routine gets disturbed or my body remains sluggish all the time.
Male | 31
Some of the things that can cause daily headaches are stress, sleep deprivation, and poor diet. Drinking enough water, getting regular sleep, and learning how to deal with stress healthily are all important for our health. If the headache does not improve, it would be wise to consult a neurologist for more treatment.

Female | 17
Constant headaches are caused due to tension headaches, migraines, eye strain, lack of sleep etc. Consult with your doctor to determine the cause and develop treatment plan. In the meantime stay hydrated, get enough sleep, avoid triggers such as certain foods or activities, and take pain relievers as directed.

Even if their routine blood and urine tests are normal and there happens to be just a swelling seen only in an MRI, definitely they should go for a neurologist. This calls for obtaining a diagnosis and treatment from a specialist to deter any complications that may arise.

Hi !my son was taking a medicine epival 250mg for last 6 years he is seizure free no attack no fit is observed during that duration but on Eid day he got a seizure after fasting in Ramadan when he wake up. His friends brought him to doctors he said due to weakness and lack of sleep this happened.In those days he was showing carelessness in taking medicine I AM asking you that after a long time he got a seizure how much time he has to take medicine to become seizures free in future He is 22 years of age .please answer me hopefully he is my only son now doctor has recommended him epival 500 mg twice a day
Male | Farhan shahid
After a long period without seizures, it is still possible for them to occur, especially if he misses his medication or becomes overly tired. Fasting and lack of sleep during the Eid period may have contributed. His physician recommends he take Epival 500mg twice daily. The new dosage is expected to reduce the frequency of seizures if taken regularly.

I feel liquid feeling in my head and i feel muscle cracking in my head when i move my head
Male | 37
If this is the case, it could be because of some problems with the muscles or joints around your neck. Such feelings are sometimes brought about by tightness or strain in a person’s neck. You can check whether this helps by doing light stretches for the neck and exercises. If they don’t go away or get worse after doing so then I’d recommend seeing a neurologist who will give you the right diagnosis on what needs to be done next.

I am 17 years old male. I have headache for last one year. The headache spreading through neck and face. My mood is down. I can't control my anger. Few days I am good but few days my mental state is not well.
Male | 17
Headaches that spread to your neck and face, along with feeling down and struggling to control your anger, are challenging symptoms to deal with. These could be signs of chronic headaches, which may be linked to stress or unhealthy lifestyle habits. It's important to talk to a neurologist who can help you understand the issues and guide you toward relief.

Male | 23
You are worried about your memory after bleeding within the brain. It is not uncommon for people to have these types of problems with their memories following such events. Some of the symptoms may involve having trouble remembering things that have occurred recently or forgetting appointments altogether; also clock watching could be difficult too. This can affect anyone at any age.

Epilepsy can be challenging at this time. It’s worrying that you have a few seizures each year. It may be a good idea to see a neurologist. They can help work out whether it’s safe for you to get pregnant while controlling your fitness. You need to strike the right balance for yourself and your unborn child too.

Female | 16
If your daughter is experiencing severe headaches, blurred or double vision, vomiting, or blood clots coming from her nose, these are something to be seriously worried about. The cause of all these might be high blood pressure, a head injury, or even a blood clot in her brain. Take her to the hospital immediately. Call an ambulance or take her to the emergency department so that they can diagnose and treat her properly.

Female | 37
Your mom may have fainted because she was upset and worried. People sometimes don’t start talking right away after fainting. They usually become responsive again shortly. Try to keep her calm and let her know everything is okay. Ensure she is lying down comfortably. If she doesn’t begin speaking soon or displays any other worrying signs, calling for medical assistance immediately would be advisable.
