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.

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.

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.

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

You need to consult with a urologist or neurologist specialist for these disorders. They can assess your symptoms and whether further treatment is needed.

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.

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’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.

Hi there, I am a 19 year old female. I am born in London, UK. I am currently away on holiday in Saudi Arabia. It’s currently around 40 degrees. I was walking whilst holding my bags & I suddenly became unable to see for a second & felt sick and dizzy. I felt like my heart was beating really fast and I could not breathe properly. I sat down and tried to cool down & drank cold water. After resting, I got up in the attempt to continue walking however, I felt really faint and my heart was beating even faster again. I felt my eyes rolling, I didn’t entirely faint and black out but it felt as if I were going to. I sat down and got escorted by a golf cart. However, I am unsure if I am okay or what it is I should do. I want to know what happened. I do still feel lightheaded and sick. But I am not sweating or red anymore.

Female | 19

You may have gone through heat exhaustion. This is when your body's internal thermometer becomes too hot and fails to function properly. The symptoms arising from such illness include, but are not limited to, faintness, dizziness, experiencing a fast heart rate as well as the feeling of nausea. The solution is to move to a cool area, drink water, and rest. Avoid the scorching sun and keep your body as cool as possible.
