This can lead to a condition known as salt poisoning. Signs may include extreme thirst, vomiting, weakness, and confusion. When your friend does not answer calls, it is a severe symptom. The brain and body could be affected. Please seek immediate medical attention. This is an emergency that may be fatal.

Male | 59

I recommend that she should visit a neurologist. In MRI, the T2W/FLAIR images exhibited multiple small white matter hyperintensities in the bilateral frontal and parietal periventricular and subcortical areas. They suggest chronic small vessel ischemic change. Spinal tap water removal may not be the recommended treatment for her symptoms.

Headache, shrinking of hands and legs, foaming at the mouth

Male | 35-40

Severe head pain which radiates to the neck with stiffening neck and the legs and foaming at the mouth are potential symptoms that can be addressed as epilepsy. Epilepsy is a disorder of the brain characterized by the occurrence of abnormal electrical activity, sending inappropriate signals through the nervous system. It is of course injuriously crucial to make it the first choice to see a specialist doctor in case of these symptoms. The common method for the treatment of epilepsy is drug use for control of the seizure and prevention of a future occurrence.

I always feel my body shaking, hot and get confused thinking, what is wrong with me?

Male | 18

You are likely having some of the panic attack symptoms. In such moments, your body may tremble and be hot; you could also have a feeling of confusion. Panic attacks may be caused by factors such as stress, anxiety, or strong emotions. To help, try slow, deep breaths, calming thoughts, and talking to someone you trust about how you're feeling.

I have been diagnosed with IIH. Could I work in a hospital with equipment that use electromagnetic radiation in the future if I get a shunt placement ? Will it affect my shunt valve settings?

Female | 27

Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension (IIH) can cause headaches and vision problems due to increased pressure around the brain. One common treatment is shunt placement, a tube that drains excess fluid. Working with radiation equipment in a hospital is unlikely to affect your shunt, as shunt valves are not impacted by electromagnetic radiation.

Hello! I was diagnosed with OCD a while ago, and one of the compulsions to certain thoughts was to hold my breath for time. It all started from here. I entered medicine, I am passionate about the field and I was always a 10th grade student. My question is if my brain was affected, if there was any cerebral hypoxia. There were times when I held my breath for quite long periods (until I felt that I had to do it), other times when I was not breathing enough and had that feeling of suffocation (the biggest fear here is, I don't know exactly how much). I had a native brain MRI, 1.5 tesla, nothing negative came out. However, on a micro level, was my cognition, my intelligence, my memory affected? The SpO2 value is 98-99% now, should I go to a doctor? I haven't slept much in my life, I always stay up at night to study and I wonder if my brain is more sensitive to such things, also I was born prematurely. I had read on the Internet that people can get hypoxia and not see it on an MRI, that really panicked me. I'm starting college in a week and I'm constantly thinking about this. If I'm going to forget certain details, I won't remember certain things, I'll always think it's because my brain was damaged, not that it's normal not to remember everything. I managed to overcome these compulsions. But I think that there are no after-effects on the brain. What do you recommend? I am very panicked that I might have hurt myself because of some senseless compulsions. I don't feel myself anymore, after reading or many things on the Internet. Is there anything to do?

Male | 18

Holding your breath for a long time can sometimes make you dizzy or suffocate, nevertheless, it is improbable for you to suffer from a permanent brain injury. Your brain which requires oxygen is doing well because you have been receiving good oxygen levels. If you're feeling worried, try some relaxation techniques like deep breathing or talking to someone you trust.

He can't walk carefully he falls down,he can't set on the floor he set on chair,he can't speak clearly and he is physically so weak he 7 years old.his weight is 17kg and his height is 105cm

Male | 7

Some kids have difficulty with movement and speaking clearly. This can stem from various reasons. One possibility for a child this age is a neuromuscular disorder, which affects the muscles and nerves involved in movement and speech. It's crucial to take the child to a pediatric specialist for tests to determine the exact cause. Meanwhile, ensure the child gets plenty of rest and proper nutrition. Avoid activities that risk falls or injuries. Addressing symptoms promptly helps the child feel better and stronger.

The problem with the shaking fingers is that I recommend seeking advice from a neurologist. Although it may not currently stand in the way of your normal activities, this could indicate an underlying problem.

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.

Hi, Doctor. I am 14 years old. I eat gingko biloba to improve memory but I seem to be allergic to it. what should I do, can I take these two pills (Allergic medical )at the same time or alternately? What are the doctor's recommended supplements that I can eat to improve memory? Best greats, sharifah

Female | 14

It's great that you're looking to improve your memory, but it's best not to take anything you're allergic to. Rash, itching, or even difficulty breathing can occur as allergic reactions to ginkgo biloba. You should stop taking it if you are allergic. Instead, maybe try omega-3 fatty acids, vitamin D, or magnesium. These are good for memory too.
