It is common for people who have had strokes to experience high blood pressure, especially after a stroke. The stroke might have altered the brain areas that regulate blood pressure. As a result, the body may struggle to control it. Hypertension can also exacerbate the severity of strokes. Thus, advise him to eat foods that are low in salt content, take the medications he has been given strictly, and get enough sleep to regulate the levels of this condition.

I'm from the country and all waste water accumulates in a septic tank. My parents don't usually call that truck home to dump the contents, they take care of it by dumping all the liquid in their own garden on a corn crop. Indeed, we do not actually eat the corn, but we do eat the rest of the nearby plants. But the birds they have, and from which we consume the eggs, consume some of that corn. I am very concerned about my physical health, especially my brain, and my fear is that I may have ingested substances from detergents/toothpaste over time, such as fluoride, which I know is neurotoxic, or other strong substances, etc. . . The usual analyzes always turned out fine for me. I drew their attention to these things and they told me that there are other people who do the same thing and apparently nothing happened. Should I worry/do something about it? I'm thinking that maybe those substances in the detergents and everything that gets there affect the nervous system, the brain. The plants in the garden show no signs of damage, probably because the detergents contain substances similar to fertilizers. Also, I'm wondering if from the feces, if some guest is infected with some parasite, and they then end up on the soil, can I also get them through the plants and affect components of my SN? Does all this accumulate in them? I can't stop eating food/eggs from home because I just started college, I have 6 more years until I can choose what and when to eat, have my own salary. I was thinking that for my own peace of mind, I would have a brain MRI this year to make sure everything is ok, as well as the usual urine test, which he can arrange for from the GP. Do you think it's okay?
Male | 18
While it's natural to worry, it's unlikely that the small amount of substances from detergents or toothpaste in the water would cause significant harm to your brain. Eating the food grown in the garden is generally safe, as plants can filter out harmful substances. It's encouraging to know that your health reports are okay. Getting a brain MRI and urine test for peace of mind is a proactive step, and it's okay to do.

Male | 16
Yes, migraines can occur on and off throughout the day. Migraine attacks are characterized by severe headaches often accompanied by other symptoms like nausea, sensitivity to light, or aura. The duration and frequency of migraines vary among individuals, and some may experience multiple episodes in a day. If you're experiencing frequent or severe migraines, it's advisable to consult a healthcare professional for proper evaluation and management.

Male | 18
You seem down about not smelling or tasting. Plus, that headache is tough. A cold or sinus issue might cause this. Stay hydrated. Rest up. Try decongestants and antihistamines if needed. But if it worsens or lingers, see a doctor.

My father is having blood clot in his brain. Which was recently found . He took medication for the same through drips for 5 days . Its been 20 days or more now he says that he feel numbness in hand and feel headache similar to the ache during the cold. And also he feel dizzy sometimes . Is this a normal symptoms of the brain blood clot or an serious issue?
Male | 54
\When a blood clot forms in the brain, numbness in the hand, headache, and dizziness could be worrying. The brain may be deprived of blood supply or there could be pressure on it due to these signs. Make sure he sees a neurologist again because these new symptoms might require more treatment or assessment.

from past 1 week i have been feeling really sleepy to the point where i am sleeping 10hours and after waking up still feeling the urge to sleep ...tired ,weak ,also feeling lightheadedness ...can u plz help me out with the diagnosis
Female | 24
Your symptoms of excessive sleepiness, tiredness, weakness, and lightheadedness could indicate anemia. Anemia occurs when your body lacks enough red blood cells to carry oxygen to your organs, making you feel tired and dizzy. This may be due to iron deficiency, blood loss, or a health issue affecting your red blood cells. I suggest visiting a doctor for a blood test to check your iron levels. Including iron-rich foods like spinach, beans, and lean meats in your diet can also help.

i have a headache in front and back side
Female | 17
Stress, dehydration, or eye strain usually cause headaches in the front and back. On rare occasions, sleeping poorly may also be responsible for this kind of headache. Drink water, rest in a calm place, or take a short break from screens, and you will feel better.

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.

I am suffering from a sleeping problem since many days i have not sleep properly
Male | 20
You're having trouble sleeping. Not getting enough sleep can make one feel tired and grumpy. Common causes of this can be stress, drinking caffeine before bed, or staring at screens late at night. Try to calm down at night by reading a book or having a hot bath. Avoid caffeine as well as screens. If the problem persists, you may want to seek a professional for advice.

What is the accurate treatment for cerebral atrophy @symptoms problem in walking, voice clarity,hand holding capacity nil
Female | 60
If a person have difficulties in walking, speaking clearly, and holding things, he/she may have cerebral atrophy. This happens when the brain cells decrease in size or numbers, and thus the communication of the neural network is disrupted. The solution for these symptoms is beneficial to both physical therapy for walking rehabilitation, speech therapy to correct the errors of speech, and occupational therapy for acquiring a stronger hand. It's crucial to work with a neurologist to design an accurate treatment plan.

Cerebral atrophy impairs the patient\'s coordination to the extent that he/she loses the touch to walk and speak, and the manual dexterity needed to carry out simple tasks. The condition is demonstrated when the brain cells are gradually losing their size. The medication prescriptions your mother is taking might only produce short-term benefits, you must carry out the consultations with the responsible neurologists who are in charge of her health.

I have a severe headache that worsens with movement. It’s felt through out my head however there are pressure points where it’s felt more intensely which are at the back of the skull and near to my temples. I have a low grade fever. Blood in mucus when I blow my nose. When I swallow my throat hurts and it strikes up my head. I am taking Augmentin Zyrtec and ibruprofen and symptoms are relieved until a couple hours before my next dose at the same severity. My skin is tender to touch and everything feels cold. Pain felt in my back and joints.
Female | 21
It sounds like you could be dealing with a sinus infection or a viral illness. The headache, pressure points, fever, sore throat, and body aches indicate an infection. Since you're already on medication but still experiencing severe symptoms, it's best to visit an ENT specialist. They can properly examine your symptoms and adjust treatment if needed.

Male | 23
You appear to have a sinus infection. Infected sinuses cause face pain, often one-sided, and headaches. Other signs include stuffy/runny nose, coughing, and fatigue. Warm compresses, hydration, and OTC pain meds may help. However, if symptoms persist or worsen, see a neurologist.

Hello, I am suffering from muscle weakness of hands and legs for 2 weeks. 4 days ago doctor confirmed that I have GBS (AMAN) by NCS and CSF study test. But my physical condition is better than most other patient. I am explaining my conditions to you : - I can walk but slowly and not like normal me - I can stand up from sitting on the bed - I can't stand up from sitting on the floor - I can't stand up from sitting on the sofa - I can lift a highest 500 ml bottle with hands - I can eat like a normal person but I have to give a little pressure in the neck - I can't cough with the full strength My condition is improving a little day by day.

Can you suggest me something for that will help me to recover soon ? Thanks is Advance...
Male | 22
This may cause weakness in the muscles of the hands and legs. I am glad that you are getting better. What has been recommended by your doctor is very important- physiotherapy and exercise. These two things can strengthen your muscles and help you regain your ability to move around. Ensure that you strictly adhere to what they say and remember that healing will take time so don’t get tired of waiting.

Experiencing chest pain intermittently for three years is abnormal. Chest discomfort arises from diverse causes such as cardiac issues, muscular strain, or acid reflux. To determine the underlying reason, consulting a cardiologist is advisable. They can conduct diagnostic tests and devise suitable treatment approaches to alleviate your condition.

Hi there, I'm a 34 year old woman, and I've been experiencing a persistent headache behind my ear on the right side. It's been bothering me for the past week, and I'm starting to get concerned. The pain is sharp and seems to be concentrated in that area. I've tried over-the-counter pain relievers, but they don't provide much relief. I'm wondering if anyone else has dealt with a similar issue or if there are specific treatments or remedies I should consider for this headache behind my ear on the right side. Any advice or insights would be greatly appreciated.

Hello sir my mother is having paralyzed stroke and she is having nerves problem also kindly update me is it possible to operate
Female | 62
A paralyzed stroke is a condition where the blood supply to a certain part of the brain is minimal. This may, consequently, lead to nerve complications that can result in paralysis. Performing surgery on the brain in the case of stroke-related issues is rarely the first line of treatment after a stroke. Rather, the physicians place more emphasis on rehabilitation therapy to restore the patient's ability to walk and do everyday activities.

Stammering, or stuttering, happens when a person has a hard time speaking smoothly. They might repeat some sounds or stretch out words. This can make it tough to talk with ease and feel sure of themselves. The cause is a mix of things like genes and how speech grows. The best way to help is speech therapy with a speech expert.

Female | 25
Fibromyalgia causes achy pains. These pains go away and come back without fever. Fibromyalgia hurts muscles and nerves in legs, thighs, and arms. It makes you feel tired too. Stress worsens fibromyalgia pains. Lack of sleep and weather changes worsen it also. Gentle exercises and relaxation methods might help too. Getting enough sleep is important. Eating healthy foods can help fibromyalgia. Managing stress levels might help as well.
