Answered on 26th Aug '24
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.

Male | 53
You can continue medicine as prescribed by your doctor but not to rely on just that. Mostly, surgery happens to be the commonest method to treat this life threatening condition. I suggest to get a second opinion from another neurosurgeon and discuss your case to get specific treatment advice for your situation.

My name is Haiqa Mirza Inwas feeling dizzy fro many day but from yesterday I had fever and fatigue which has increased more today
Female | 19
It seems you may have an infection, maybe a virus. When your body fights an infection, it can make you dizzy, hot, and tired. It is important to rest, drink lots of water and juice, and eat good food. If you feel worse or the same, you should see a neurologist.

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.

I feel dizziness n muscle strain Little bit headache what medicine is good
Female | 27
It seems like you’re not doing very well. Dizziness, muscle tension, and a small headache can result from several things. It may be that you’re dehydrated or stressed out. To alleviate this, try taking a break, drinking some water, and doing light exercises. In case your condition doesn’t improve or becomes worse, it would be best to consult a neurologist for proper medical advice.

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.

What to do in subdural hemorrhage
Male | 62
Subdural hemorrhage happens when blood collects between your brain and skull. This usually follows a serious head injury or fall. Symptoms include severe headaches, confusion, and difficulty walking. Affected individuals require hospital testing for proper diagnosis. Treatment options involve medication or surgery to remove pooled blood. Prompt medical attention prevents lasting brain damage. Such injuries must not be ignored, as complications may arise.

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.

Why's there a sudden moving sensation in the body? There has been a feeling of something growing inside the left side of the head, like a tingling/burning sensation (I hope I explained myself properly). On the nerves or inside the brain I don't understand. Sometimes there's a pain on the back side of the head too (mostly on the right side). What do these symptoms indicate?
Female | 37
These signs may indicate a neurological disorder and require consultation with a neurologist. Seeking the help of a specialist is necessary for proper diagnosis and treatment.

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.

I was having a mild UTI infection for which I did a course of k ston, rotec and cefspan for 7 days. Now UTI symptoms have recovered but I feel numbness and pain in legs and feet. 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.

Your symptoms seem concerning. Left-side headaches, leg tingling, vision troubles - these could link to nerve issues. That spine disk bulge is likely contributing too. Please see a neurologist soon for a proper diagnosis and care plan.

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.

I have dizziness throughout the day and head swinging also. Plus there is bleeding slightly light in color. And I had empty stomach throughout the day also.
Female | 25
Dizziness, head swinging, and slightly light bleeding - these symptoms sound like low blood sugar. They happen when you don't eat enough. Your blood sugar drops, making you feel unsteady and dizzy. To help, eat regular meals and snacks all day to keep blood sugar steady. Include a mix of healthy foods: fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and proteins. If the symptoms don't go away, talk to a neurologist. They'll evaluate further.
