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.

The vein on the right side of my head has been twitching for a few days.

Female | 29

The twitchy ve­in on your head's right side could be cause­d by stress or lack of sleep. Too much caffe­ine might also make it happen. Eye­ strain and being dehydrated are­ other possible reasons for twitching ve­ins. Be sure to drink enough wate­r, get proper rest, and try re­ducing stress levels. Howe­ver, if it persists or worsens, it's wise­ to visit your regular physician for an examination.

I'm 17 years old. I'm having sleep problems.i can't sleep properly in night, it's almost took me 2 hours to sleep even after closing my eyes. And in day time , my eyes started to burning

Female | 17

Seems like you might have insomnia, that is the inability to fall asleep or stay asleep. If you can’t fall asleep at night this can cause tired eyes that burn all day long. Stress, caffeine and use of screens before bedtime are some common reasons why teenagers suffer from this condition. Establishing a night time routine, avoiding caffeine and switching off the screens before going to bed may help improve your sleeping patterns.

Mild to moderate numbness that comes and goes on right side of head and behind ear. It's been going on for 2+ hours.

Male | 20

Seek immediate medical attention from a neurologist to determine the cause, as it could be related to factors, some of which may require prompt evaluation and treatment. Don't ignore concerning symptoms, especially if they are accompanied by weakness, difficulty speaking, severe headache, or changes in vision.

I have been suffering from dizziness spells and poor balance, with buckling of knees and general weakness it lasts for 2-3 weeks and it's mostly starts with a severe one sided headache. The last episode was 3 months ago. Now I feel a bit out of balance and a bit weak in the knees. I have hypertension and it's controlled. When I went to the doctor for the three episodes of dizziness, the last time he said it's suspected MS but dismissed it after I felt better after I finished the medication. What should I do now?

Female | 28

The symptoms you mentioned may point to different causes like problems in the inner ear or variations in blood pressure. Since the last attack was a couple of months ago, it’s good that things have gotten better. Nonetheless, if they return or become worse than before, don’t hesitate to see your doctor immediately. Keep noting down how you feel and when it happens. Sharing this information with the doctor will assist in diagnosing what might be happening and devising an appropriate intervention plan.

Hello, some help please, difficulty thinking connected with a continuous right arm and leg pain, at times i loose even sight, it occurs most especially when am forced to do a hard task at work which seems undoable, too many calls from people, stress times at work. The arm pain is continuous, it reduces only when I continuously swing my arm in all directions. Is it pressure!! What can I do.

Male | 34

You may be­ dealing with stress and thoracic outlet syndrome­. This happens when nerve­s or blood vessels near your ne­ck and shoulder get pinched, causing pain and foggy thinking. Stre­ss and repetitive move­ments worsen it. Take bre­aks and do gentle stretche­s. Try relaxing activities too.

Sir, I have headache like tight band with nausea, stress and tension. Sir please give me some medicines for relief.

Male | 17

You may have a tension headache. This headache feels like a tight band around the head and can cause vomiting. Common causes for these headaches include stress and tension, poor sleeping habits, or eye strain from looking at screens too much. To alleviate your symptoms, you should take some non-prescription painkillers such as acetaminophen or ibuprofen. Additionally, get enough rest and drink plenty of water while trying relaxation methods like deep breathing exercises or light workouts. If they don’t go away or get worse it would be best if you visited your doctor so that he could give them proper attention.

My body shakes and I feel weakness I can't bend my head as it feels my body is moving back and forth. Sometimes I also feel acidity, my head and neck hearts

Female | 21

You might be suffering from some adverse reactions to the medications you took for your UTI. Numbness, pain in legs and feet, body shaking, weakness, difficulty bending your head, acidity, and headache can be the side effects of the medicines. In cases like this, the medicines might not be suitable for your body. Make sure to tell your doctor about these symptoms for him to give you the right advice.

Male | 24

Muscular dystrophy is a condition where your muscles gradually weaken, making it difficult to walk, stand, and move your arms. It's usually inherited, so it often runs in families. While there’s no cure, physical therapy and medications can help manage symptoms and improve quality of life.

I am 48 years old and suffering from carpal tunnel from past 6 years. Earlier problem was not so much but now I am feeling numbness in my right hand while writing or doing any particular work. Should I go for surgery? Is there any physiotherapy after surgery and after how long I can do writing work as I am a teacher

Female | 48

You should go for surgery if your symptoms are very severe and make it difficult for you to do your everyday activities. Yes, after surgery, physiotherapy is done for better flexibility and strength. When can you resume writing and other work depends on the type of surgery you had and other things. It is important to listen to your doctor and start writing only after consulting him.
