Sounds like your dad might have something called Parkinson’s. This makes hands and legs shake a lot and causes problems controlling when you have to pee. What happens is certain cells in his brain stop working right. A neurologist can give him drugs or teach him exercises to help with these things.

I’m 18 year old female, 5.5 and 1/2 160 pounds, for the past 3 months I’ve been having dizzy spells, blurry vision and sometimes loss of vision, my whole body heats up, sometimes I puke, it happens a lot when I get out of the shower and I don’t take hot showers. I take Vyvanse,
Female | 18
This sounds like the symptoms of a condition called postural orthostatic syndrome (POTS). POTS can make you feel dizzy, lightheaded, or faint when you stand up. It can also cause your vision to blur when standing up, heat intolerance, and nausea upon standing up. Vyvanse could worsen these symptoms. Drinking lots of fluids and adding more salt to your diet might help. Talk to your doctor about this.

Hello, my 16-year-old son has been living with epilepsy for approximately 6-7 years. We have consulted multiple doctors and tried various treatments and medications. Unfortunately, the prescribed medications have been unable to effectively manage his seizures. Over the past three days, he has been experiencing severe seizures that we have never seen before. Could you please advise if your hospital has a specialized neurologist with expertise in epilepsy treatment and surgery? We would greatly appreciate any feedback you can provide, including testimonials from other patients who have received care at your hospital. Additionally, we would like to know the price list for all treatments, including surgeries, and the types of surgeries you perform. We are currently exploring options for our son's care and would appreciate any guidance you can offer. Thank you, and we look forward to your response.

It’s always very worrying when a child’s seizures are as intense as you say and don’t seem to be affected by any drugs. This needs attention right away. When medicine doesn’t help, sometimes surgery will. The cost of treatment may depend on different things and I think it would be good for you to talk with the staff about that.

I have diagnosed epilepsy, and I currently take 200mg of lamotrigine. I am still experiencing frequent seizures and also cluster seizures. I would like to discuss if I would have any options to add another medication alongside lamotrigine to try and control my seizures.
Female | 26
You’re still having seizures despite taking lamotrigine. It’s a medication commonly used for epilepsy. When seizures continue, adding another medication may help control them. Your doctor may suggest options such as levetiracetam or valproic acid. These medicines work in different ways to prevent seizures. Discuss with your doctor to find the best option for you.

One way of paralysis, which is hemiplegia, is the one where a person experiences a lack of movement and sensation on the left side of the body.

I am suffering from severe back pain for the last 4 days. My xray report says: bilateral sacralization of LV5 and body of LV2 shows wedging deformity anteriorly
Male | 33
Severe back pain may indicate different conditions that can be causing the pain. According to x-ray reports, you have a case of LV5 & LV2 and the anterior part of LV2 is going through wedge shape deformation. This tells me you have probably some vertebrae problems that need to be checked out by a spine expert. Print We recommend you make an appointment with a spinal surgeon.

I am feeling dizzyness and heavyness on right side of temple in forehead and pressure in forehead, ear, cheek, and nose block on right side of the face. Please suggest me diagnosis and treatment.
Male | 41
As per the complaints, this is a case of Sinusitis.
If you have sinusitis, the doctor may be able to recommend additional medications to relieve your symptoms, such as steroid nasal sprays or drops to reduce sinus swelling.
antihistamines - if your symptoms are caused by an allergy
Antibiotics - if you have a bacterial infection and are severely sick or at risk of consequences, antibiotics may be prescribed (but antibiotics are often not needed, as sinusitis is usually caused by a virus)

I have had headache since years. (Approx 4 to 5 years) I used to have Vasograin since then prescribed by a doctor(migraine). But now it is somehow getting little uncontrollable by the medicine! I dont have seizures, or physical disability.
Female | 45
It is concerning that your continuous headaches (4-5 year) with Vasograin as prescribed by a doctor. There might be a need for you to reassess the situation and get medical advise from a neurologist who is well trained in the management of headaches and their complications. They could give a more profound diagnosis as well as offer possible replacement treatment options. Furthermore, don't shy away from visiting the office and speaking with a specialist that can help you out.

I am 46 year old man. I have little fever since days and headache with feeling head like heavyness. I do also vomit with loose motions before 4-5 days and have many anxiety also..
Male | 46
Symptoms such as fever, headache, throwing up, diarrhea, and nervousness could point towards a stomach bug or food poisoning. These might also leave you feeling light-headed or generally unwell. Make sure to drink enough water, get plenty of rest, and stick with bland foods if this is what you’re going through. If your condition doesn’t improve or gets worse than before, please see a doctor so they can examine you properly and give appropriate treatment options.

I have had some kind of neuropathy for the past 4.5 years and have level 6/7 pain in my palms, soles, toes, and fingers. I suffer from pin/needle and burning pain. Over the years I have also lost my muscles in both legs, thighs, arms, posteriors, and have become very weak and can hardly walk now. All my symptoms are symmetrical on both sides. Extensive tests including MRI of brain, chest, EMG, abdomen, ABI, spine, etc. have been done but no significant disease has been found. Constant routine blood tests have shown no major problems. I am not diabatic and have not been identified as hypertensive. Some doctors have inconclusively indicated small fiver neuropathy. I have used gabapentin, pregabalin, and duloxetine for pain relief. I continue to become weak due to muscle atrophy. My friends and relatives have suggested treatment in Chennai, and I would like to come to Chennai in a short time hoping for better treatment and cure of my disease. Thank you and looking forward to a quick response.
Male | 70
Based on your symptoms, you may have small fiber neuropathy.. Ebut a more in-depth investigation may be needed to confirm the diagnosis. To come to any conclusion need to check your previous reports and few other details. Your decision of treating in Chennai is good you will find the best hospitals for neuropathy treatment in chennai

So i was not mentally well due to some personal reasons, like i was crying and sleeping less so much(past 2-3 days). Then yesterday, when everything got normal, headache started on both sides and back of the head, from then i am unable to sleep, also some kind of tingling is there when I try to sleep. What it could be?
Female | 19
You’ve been through a tough time emotionally, and that can sometimes trigger physical symptoms like headaches and tingling. The headache and difficulty sleeping could be related to stress or tension. Visit a neurologist to discuss your symptoms and get proper guidance. They will be able to give you the right treatment based on your condition.

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.

Hallo, ich bin 52 Jahre Mann . Ich habe seit 4 Jahren Tremor in der rechte Hand, bei mir ist Parkinson diagnostiziert. Welche Behandlungsmethode ist für mich relevant, kommt die Stammzellentherapie in Frage?.
Male | 52
The tremor in the right hand can be annoying. Parkinson's disease is usually a result of a lack of a chemical in the brain called dopamine. The main treatment usually consists of medications that help control dopamine deficiency. Promising stem cell therapy research is found, but it remains a non-standard Parkinson's Disease treatment. One must have a conversation with their neurologist to decide the best option compatible with the individual.

Please help me I'm 38 years old I have pain all over my body I feel sick all the time I'm tried all the time and I have nights sweats for the last week
Male | 38
It seems like you may have some symptoms which could mean many things. Pain everywhere, feeling bad a lot, always being worn out, and sweating at night are all signs of different illnesses. A virus infection might be one cause but so could an immune system disorder or even just stress alone. You need to see a doctor so that they can find out what is going on with you exactly--and then give feedback that is helpful for treating whatever this turns out to be.

Experiencing more severe post-seizure symptoms is concerning. It's advisable to consult with a neurologist or epilepsy specialist to evaluate your condition and determine if any adjustments to your medication regimen or treatment plan are necessary. Communicate changes in symptoms with your doctor.
