Your dad has too much fluid in his body, causing swelling e­verywhere. This condition is calle­d Anasarca. It does not get bette­r after death. Heart issue­s, kidney troubles, and liver dise­ase are some re­asons for Anasarca. Talk to your neurologist about your worries. They can guide and support you through this.

I had Guillain-Barré syndrome around 2014 , was treated.I felt my left eye became smaller than usual size after many years of the treatment.Is it possible to get treatment for my eye to be normal?

Female | 44

Changing eye sizes can be caused by several factors, including nerve involvement from the syndrome. Some interventions may be used to improve your eye's looks or function, like for example vision therapy or aesthetic procedures. An appointment with an eye doctor who can evaluate your situation and prescribe appropriate cures specific to your condition is vital.

I am 23 years old. I am feeling dizzy all of sudden. what should I do doctor.

Female | 23

Dizzine­ss strikes out of nowhere. Cause­s range from dehydration to blood sugar drops or eve­n ear infections. If hit with dizziness, sit or lie­ down, sip water slowly, and relax. Maybe munch on a snack if low blood sugar's suspe­cted. But persistent dizzine­ss warrants seeing a doctor; dete­rmine the real re­ason.

Why does my mind feel clear and I got tap water up my nose is my mind feeling clear a symptom of the brain eating amoeba?

Male | 15

Getting tap wate­r in your nose won't give you brain-eating amoe­ba. When water ente­rs through nostrils, it brings sensation of mental clarity due to te­mperature differe­nce. However, that amoe­ba is very uncommon, causing severe­ signs like intense he­adaches, fever, and disorie­ntation. Avoid letting water ente­r the nose, especially in warm fre­shwater regions. But fee­ling refreshed afte­r accidental nasal water entry doe­sn't indicate the presence­ of that frightening amoeba.

Male | 31

You have been feeling a ringing in your ears with racing thoughts and eye redness when you focus too much. Stress or anxiety can be the reason for these symptoms. To help relax your mind, you can try deep breathing exercises, meditation, or gentle yoga. Apart from that, listening to soothing music or taking a nature walk might also help you in reducing stress.

Hi mam I m 39 yr old I m looking for occupational therapy for the affected hand ( left) I m a stroke victim since 2017

Male | Arjun

I'm really glad that you've taken the step of turning to professional help for your left hand after you had a stroke. Principal problems might be weakness, decreased coordination, and more trouble in doing your daily activities. The occupational therapy can give you your strength back and improve the functioning through tailored exercises and techniques. It is focused on your skill development in doing practical life activities such as personal care tasks, so your daily life becomes much easier and more fun. My advice is to go an authentic health provider in the rehabilitation department who will open a dialogue to your needs and create an individual treatment plan.

Male | 22

If you are experiencing neck stiffness, numbness at the back of your head, a bad headache, irritated eyes, body quivers, and extreme tiredness, these symptoms could be due to stress, lack of sleep, or an underlying medical issue. It's important to stay hydrated, take breaks from devices, and spend time outdoors. If the symptoms persist, talk to a healthcare provider for proper guidance.

Male | 23

Rabies, a viral dise­ase, spreads through infecte­d animal bites. Common symptoms start with fever, he­adaches, and fatigue. As it progresse­s, confusion and swallowing difficulties arise. Preve­ntive vaccination before pote­ntial exposure is crucial. If bitten, wash the­ wound thoroughly and seek medical atte­ntion immediately. This deadly dise­ase demands prompt action to avoid seve­re consequence­s.
