Answered on 25th Sept '24
The stroker or synchronized swimming effect of water can occur after a stroke due to weakness in the throat muscles. Ask the doctor if they can refer you to a speech therapist to help improve swallowing. They may also suggest safe methods for eating and drinking.

Male | 22
Epilepsy causes seizures. They can be strong shakes or short blank spells. The reason could be genes or brain injuries. Epilepsy isn't cured, but medicine often helps. A neurologist helps find the right treatment. Seizures happen differently for each person. So working closely with a doctor is important.

Head pain problems back said too painful my self
Male | 36
Your head hurts and your back too. This can be a result of nervousness, worry, and you might not even notice your sitting or looking at a screen. Give yourself time to walk around, stretch, and perform relaxation methods. You can also apply a warm compress to the painful areas and exercise walking Somewhat slow, easy walking, and jogging are also good for the body. And if the pain is still there, let a specialist examine it.

Facing high fever and continuous headache
Female | 30
Fevers and headaches are often caused by infections like the flu or a cold. When you're sick, your brain can ache, and your body might get hotter than usual because your immune system is fighting the illness. Make sure to get plenty of rest, drink lots of water, and take some paracetamol or acetaminophen to help reduce the fever. If the pain is severe or the symptoms persist, it's important to see a doctor for proper treatment.

Other potential reasons are sinusitis or visual troubles among others. For this reason, it is essential to see a neurologist who will give you a thorough checkup and prescribe suitable medicine.

I have sleep disorder, and an underlying diagnosis of Myasthenia Gravis. Also, have Nasal septum slight deviation, and turbinate hypertrophy. Have not been able to sleep for more than an hour or 2, for past 3-4 months. Have been told to do Sleep study, but I have anxiety with putting cords or mask, so couldn't even do a Sleep study due to Nasal cannula requirement. Also, I feel difficulty breathing in flat position, and usually because of that fear, haven't laid flat in past 2-3 months. How should I go about solving this issue? Where to start?
Female | 77
It's normal to feel anxious about a sleep study. Your symptoms could be related to Myasthenia Gravis or a nasal issue, especially if you have trouble breathing when lying flat. Good sleep is vital for your health, so share your concerns with your healthcare team. They may suggest alternatives like home sleep tests or other ways to improve your sleep. Identifying the cause of your sleep problems is key to finding the right solution for you.

My girlfriend suddenly fell unconscious after crying so baldy and after waking up after 5 mins she couldn’t remember anything she even didn’t remember that we were calling
Female | 17
Your girlfriend fainted, it seems. Crying hard can make blood pressure drop - that makes people faint sometimes. She might've forgotten a bit too. Stay calm, reassure her. Let her rest, drink water, get fresh air. If it happens lots, see a neurologist.

Hello I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to discuss some ongoing health concerns that have persisted since I experienced cerebral meningitis a few years ago. Initially, the treatment process faced challenges, leading to subsequent neurological issues. Although most aspects of my health have improved, I continue to grapple with a specific matter related to urinary and bowel control. Following the meningitis treatment, I encountered difficulty using the restroom, leading to the use of a catheter for approximately three weeks. Subsequently, once the catheter was removed, I experienced challenges in retaining urine, necessitating the use of diapers, particularly during the night. Presently, after five years, while I have achieved some improvement in urinary control, there are instances, especially during the night, when I still face issues with involuntary urination. Additionally, I find it challenging to maintain control over bowel movements. There is a correlation between retaining urine and the urge to defecate, often resulting in occasional accidents. This situation has led to a degree of stress, particularly when venturing outside. I am reaching out to seek your expert advice on whether these issues may be treatable or if there are potential avenues for improvement. Your insights and recommendations regarding any further evaluations or treatments would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time and consideration. I look forward to your guidance on managing and addressing these persistent challenges. Sincerely,
Female | 30

Hello im 25 years old,im suffering from short term memory loss what should i do
Male | 25
You have a problem with short-term memory loss that you should look out for. For example, you may forget information or events that have just happened. This is common when people are stressed, not sleeping well, or taking certain drugs. You can try relaxation techniques, getting enough sleep, and talking to your doctor about the pills you are taking. If it doesn’t get better or gets worse then go to a neurologist so they can figure out what’s going on.

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.

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 advise you to get a pediatric neurologist and make an appointment as soon as possible for your daughter and her problems. A solitary nerve damage from a seizure on the right side of her brain might necessitate more tests and/or treatment.

Male | 31
Struggling with stress and body numbness at night, especially after using screens like phones or laptops? Digital eye strain could be the cause, leading to headaches, eye discomfort, and trouble focusing. To ease the symptoms, take regular screen breaks, dim the room lights, and try relaxation techniques. If you're also dealing with premature gray hair or depression, stress may be playing a role. Improving your diet, staying active, and getting enough sleep can help boost your overall health. If these symptoms persist, see a neurologist.

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.
