Headaches can have a variety of reasons including stress, tension, dehydration, eye strain, or sinus issues. The symptoms you mentioned can sometimes be related with more serious conditions, like migraine, nerve damage, or blood circulation issues, and a healthcare professional can conduct a physical examination, review her medical history, and perform necessary diagnostic tests to help determine the cause of her symptoms.

It sounds like you're experiencing discomfort with burning, tingling, and electric sensations in your extremities. Despite normal nerve conduction studies and EMG tests, these symptoms can arise from various causes, including nerve irritation or metabolic factors like elevated blood sugar levels. I recommend continuing to monitor your glucose levels closely. Since medications haven't fully alleviated your pain, consulting a neurologist for further evaluation could be beneficial. They might consider other treatment options or therapies tailored to your needs.

I have a daughter whose development has been a bit late since she was little. She could only lie face down after she was 1 year old and then she could walk around 3 or 4 years old. Her development is slow but she is currently in grade 11 at school, but her mental ability is very weak. Her IQ is below 100. Her right hand, right leg and arm are stiff. The sole of the right foot tilts inward so it is difficult to walk or not like a normal person. What I hope from this treatment is that she right side can function normally. Because now you need help to clean after menstruation or after defecating, considering that the only thing that can be used normally is only the left hand, and even then it is not very active.

Your daughter's symptoms are typical of cerebral palsy which causes a lack of muscle coordination and also results in mobility problems. Those symptoms you named are the cause of an extra motor diagnostic test to be done, like hip reflexes to be tested, and a tossed foot drop. The most optimal way is physiotherapy to do work on muscle tone or strength and loosen tightness, to let your child move properly. In the case of consistent therapy, she will grow more independent and be able to use her muscles more easily so she can join you in activities.

I am a 37 years old female. From the past few days I am feeling an ache inside the left side of my head at regular intervals. I also feel my head spinning and heavy quite often. Sometimes I feel cold and sometimes I sweat. I also feel my body weak quite often and sometimes feel I may fall. Sometimes I feel a pull on the backside of my head and that part paining, though it isn't a severe or constant pain. I am not able to tell this to my parents as they recently faced a huge tragedy and I don't get the courage to speak to them and give them more pain. Since the time I get up I look forward to going to sleep again as that's the only time I feel better and tension free. Is this a passing phase or serious health issue? Are these signs of brain inflammation/tumor? Will be grateful to you if you advice me what my next step should be.
Female | 37
As your symptoms indicate, you may be suffering from a migraine or tension headache. But one should not exclude the possibility of serious conditions. I suggest consulting a neurologist for further detailed diagnosis. While you wait, work on reducing your stress and have a good sleep at night. Recall that your health should be considered first and you might need medical attention if the situation requires so.

One side eye one side head one side nose severe pain
Male | 27
Your eye, head, and nose issues seem bad. This might be trigeminal neuralgia. A nerve in your face gets irritated. The pain comes suddenly, sharply, intensely. Simple medication may help. However, see a neurologist to get proper treatment.

Aaj morning se sir me pain ho raha hai Vaisograin tablet bhi Li par koi releif nahi hua
Female | 24
Headaches can arise in many ways, for example, stress, lack of sleep, or even looking at screens for too long can cause them. It's better to lie in a peaceful place, drink a lot of plain water, and abstain from excessive screen time. If the pain persists, you need to go to a doctor and get a thorough checkup done.

Male | 40
Blue tongues, headaches, and constipation can be troublesome! But often, the causes are simple: not drinking enough water, eating unhealthy food, lack of movement, and stress. The solution is clear: drink plenty of water, eat fresh and natural foods, and stay active. If the issues persist, visit a neurologist for proper advice and treatment.

Inhaling gas, taking alcohol and some drugs can be dangerous especially when coupled with lack of sleep and food. Symptoms such as headache and shivering might mean that your body is stressed. Take a rest, eat well, and keep off harmful substances.

I used tap water to flush my nose out as I was congested before realising and then about 1 hour later used boiled water as I know it shouldn’t be tap water I’m In Northern Ireland what are chances of me getting brain infection I’m worried now No symptoms it was 2 days ago when will I know if I’m clear of infection
Female | 31
Using tap water to flush your nose can be unsafe. Tap water may have bad germs. But, do not worry too much about it. Getting a brain infection from this is very rare. Since you used boiled water later, you are likely safe. If you have no signs after two days, you are likely okay. But, look out for bad headaches, fever, or stiff neck. These could mean infection.

Cerebral palsy ke seizure ke liye konsa medicine best he
Female | 7
Usually, a doctor prescribes medicine after evaluating seizures in cerebral palsy. Seizures cause movement, staring, shaking. The prescription's goal is controlling seizures. Following the doctor's orders closely matters. Don't miss dosages. Always tell your neurologist of changes or effects.

why am I weak every time, dizzy,and sometimes collapse with headache and lose of appetite..
Female | 25
You may be wondering if you have an iron deficiency. Anemia is a condition that develops when your body does not have enough red blood cells to carry oxygen. This may result in fatigue and strange symptoms of dizziness and headaches. A decrease in appetite is another situation that is often found. Intake of green leafy vegetables like spinach, seeds high in protein like beans and lean meat may be helpful. Besides, your doctor may also bring up the consumption of iron supplements to improve your red blood cell count.

I am diagnosed with myasthenia gravis with mctd. My pet ct has some abnormal findings I need second opinion
Female | Shubha jolly
Myasthenia gravis is an autoimmune condition that affects muscle strength, leading to fatigue and weakness. Mixed connective tissue disease (MCTD) can also contribute to these symptoms, as it encompasses various autoimmune features. Abnormal findings on your PET scan can be concerning, but a second opinion is a prudent step. I recommend discussing your results with a neurologist who specializes in these conditions. They can provide tailored insights and potential treatment options to ensure comprehensive care.

My sister had a RTA last year in which she had a paraplegic spinal cord injury,she is doing physiotherapy since one year still can't walk without calipers,has no sensation,she is 20 years old
Female | 20
A spinal cord issue such as hers might result in weakness of stepping and the absence of the sense of touch. It occurs when the spinal cord sustains damage, generally from events such as a car ramming into it. Exercise makes muscles stronger, but full recovery might not be attained.

I face severe headache problem
Female | 20
Myocardial infarctions are the leading cause of the medical field's death, which can be traced back to a bunch of varieties like stress, migraines, and sinus troubles. Common signs and symptoms of the disorder are a pulsating or beating headache, being sensitive to light, and the on-and-off feeling of nausea. Relieving the pain always goes hand in hand with getting enough water, doing away with stress through relaxation techniques, and having regular sleep patterns. Over-the-counter pain medication can, likewise, be helpful. However, if hyperemia develops or worsens, consult a neurologist.

Always headache Always get angry Too much hungry Overthinking Vomit Back pain
Female | 19
Frequent discomfort, mood changes, constant hunger, recurring thoughts, nausea, and back discomfort can sometimes result from stress, poor diet, or insufficient rest. It’s essential to focus on a balanced diet, stay hydrated, engage in regular physical activity, and practice relaxation techniques such as deep breathing or mindfulness. However, given the complexity of your symptoms, I strongly recommend visiting a neurologist. They can provide a thorough assessment and tailored advice to help you feel better and manage these challenges effectively.

I’m a 26 year old female who is a diagnosed epileptic. I have been taking 200mg of lamotrigine since January. However I’m still having frequent seizures and cluster seizures so I’m looking to see if I could get an additional medication prescribed alongside the lamotrigine to support my symptoms and gain more control over my seizures.
Female | 26
It’s important to tell a neurologist about those symptoms again. Sometimes taking another medicine such as levetiracetam or valproate can help to bring seizures under control. These drugs act in different ways to help lower the chances of having a seizure. Your doctor will be able to advise you better on what treatment plan will suit you most appropriately.
