Neurosurgeon
Answered on 29th July '24
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.

Male | 32
Your cervical discs have bulged slightly, exerting pressure on the spinal cord area. However, it's not severe. This condition may result in neck, shoulder, or arm discomfort, numbness, or weakness. Aging and spinal strain typically cause such issues. To alleviate symptoms, you might need physical therapy, medication, or surgery in extreme cases.

Your pain in the back and upper part of the head is a possible indication of tension headaches. These issues may originate from stress, sleep deprivation, and bad posture. Keep your shoulders down, sleep well, and straighten your back. If you experience persistent headaches, it is better to consult a neurologist.

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.

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.

Good evening Doctor one of my cousin who is 11 yrs old last night suddenly her left leg n hand paralysed... Today we took her to the hospital they scanned her spinal cord fluid but the reports are normal ...what is the reason for her condition
Female | 11
It is caused by a temporary breakdown that interrupts the blood flow to the brain or nerves. The result from the spinal cord fluid scan indicates that she is normal. I would insist on regular checking where she can have enough rest, as it is key to her recovery. Typically, the body heals itself after some time, so in most cases, the paralysis will disappear. If, after all this period, she still experiences these symptoms or possibly worsens, then much stress is seen to be caused, and the situation demands continuous communication with her neurologist for safety.

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.

Female | 19
Teeth grinding and hemifacial spasm can be due to a stress, anxiety, and neurological conditions. Medications, physical therapy, and lifestyle modifications can help.
Nerve pain and difficulty swallowing could also be related to a neurological condition and may require further evaluation and treatment. Check thouroughly with a neurologist.

Female | 18
The type of headaches you are having, which more often than not, are very intense, with earache, dizziness, and hypersensitivity to light and sound, all symptoms suggest a likely migraine. Migraines occur when your brain is hypersensitive to the things that your body would normally be able to cope with such as stress, lack of sleep, or even something you eat. To achieve the goal of migraine control, you can use a headache diary, stay hydrated, be well-rested, and avoid the triggers. Even if the symptoms get more serious or become a major obstacle in your everyday activities, it's always a good move to seek medical advice from a healthcare practitioner.

A headache lasting for days could be a symptom of various reasons. It can be caused by stress, dehydration, or the lack of sleep. In some cases, it could be a signal of a more dangerous disease. You can try to drink a lot of water, relax in a dark room, and avoid light screens before sleeping. If the problem persists it is better to consult a neurologist for it.
