The symptoms of difficulty eating and speaking are the general ones that occur after a brain stroke. It may be attributed to the muscles used for swallowing being weak. Seeing that he mentioned no problem swallowing and eating by himself, you can slowly start to give him food by mouth. Begin with soft, easy-to-swallow foods and keep track of his progress. Do not forget to communicate with his healthcare team along the way.

It may be due to stress or anxiety. In such cases, it is advisable to practice mindfulness meditation, deep breathing and some relaxation exercises. Also, knowing the cause of your stress and anxiety may help. If the problem still continues, please consult a reputed doctor to address the issue. I hope this helps.

T2 and FLAIR hyperintensities in subcortical white matter are findings that suggest changes or abnormalities in the brain's white matter which can be caused byage-related changes, or hypertension, small vessel disease, or vascular risk factors. Consult a neurologist or radiologist to get proper treatment.

Female | 17
One of the major culprits for neck pain, shoulder pain, and headache is the disorder called occipital neuralgia, cervical spondylitis, retrolisthesis, mucoceles, and rudimentary cervical ribs, which are the poles opposite to the normal clinical expressions of a person's health. Seek the help of a neurosurgeon specializing in spine disorders.

Hello, Doctor Name Because of the horrible things i have endured through out my life up until now which kept getting worse without pause Emotions i've felt and the anger that would cease One day, half of my face started jerking (Hemifacial spasm) and i woke up with blood from my ear later i had my cerebral fluid leaking out of my ears nose eyes From then whenever I get angry I would have Seizures and later i'd hear loud BANG in my Brain followed by blood leaking from my ears and i believe that is what is called a ruptured cerebral aneurysm and I have had about 20 or 21 of them and maybe more and I became ill with other illnesses which if god you reply to me I will give to you I have not been given treatment Since I lack the fund for medical treatment I want to pass away a faithful man to god Please tell me how long do i have until i will pass away from theses illnesses so i may have hope that i will pass away soon God willing Thank you

You should consult for a second opinion right away. Hemifacial spasm can be a symptom of another neurological condition, including an aneurysm. A ruptured cerebral aneurysm is a medical emergency that requires to be treated promptly. Speculating on life expectancy without the proper medical evaluation is inappropriate. As soon as you can, see a neurologist.

Your friend could be having a panic attack. A state where the person has rapid breathing, cold hands and feet, sweaty palms, and feeling unable to move is the most common one during a panic attack. The reasons may be different but the stress or anxiety stage is often the cause. Advise your friend to breathe slowly and deeply to stay calm and composed. Offer them strong reassurance and be a steady presence to help them through it.

Female | 15
You're going through some troubling symptoms. Uneven breathing, constant headaches, and sudden dizziness can point to some internal problems. These symptoms could be a result of the conditions affecting your heart, lungs, or even the brain. A visit to a neurologist is necessary for a correct diagnosis and treatment.

I need help to find the right clinic to help me walk again and regain my bladder bowel control. Please advise. Thank you kindly.

You can check this article for more information - Stem cell for Spinal Cord Injury. You should also consult a neurologist or neurosurgeon for advice on stem cell therapy for your spinal cord injury. However, stem cell therapy is still an experimental treatment and its effectiveness is not yet fully established.

Hy. More than one month ago during shower I have washed my anus and ( probabile also my colon). I have removed the shower head and i have put the nozzle into my ass...like 3 or 4 times. Like 10 minutes later started a flash stabbing pain in my left big toe. Next days better little bit after i have niumbness, flashing sometimes prickling and tingling in my legs and arms. In this moment I have burning in my all upper body. ( in my back and arms burn , hot.) I don't have fever! So probabile I have neuropathy ( polyneuropathy) symptoms. My question is the anal douching it could have been caused this symptoms ? Or it's caused by something else?? I am 28 years old. I don't have other sickness. Sorry for my english.
Male | 28
Dependent on the symptoms given, it’s unlikely that anal douching causes your neuropathy symptoms. Neuropathy mostly comes from related factors such as diabetes or nerve injury neuropathy. For a proper diagnosis and treatment plan, see a neurologist. Meanwhile, avoid inserting anything into your anus and focus on staying healthy generally.

Male | 21
The red skin, tingling, pain, and nerve issues could be from too many bad molecules in your body. These bad molecules can hurt cells. To help stop the bad molecules, eat more fruits and veggies. Also, talk to your doctor about helper pills that may stop these issues from the bad molecules.

Your eye, head, and nose issues seem bad. This might be trigeminal neuralgia. A nerve in your face gets irritated. The pain comes suddenly, sharply, intensely. Simple medication may help. However, see a neurologist to get proper treatment.

My uncle is 67 years old with lung cancer and been in remission for a while. He suffers bad migraines. He was getting shots and nothing worked. He said he hit his head a couple times and developed a subdermal hematoma. He started throwing up and took him to er they transferred him to toledo hospital where they did burr holes and released blood from his brain. He is not recovering or answering any questions properly. Now he has air in the burrs. Last scan showed no air but blood has moved to the back of his head. They are giving fentanyl by IV and npo. 3 days not eating.He is confused and restrained. No communication with a doctor since after surgery We been here since Thursday He had his surgery friday. Should I take him somewhere else? His cancer is not killing him. These headaches from chemo and radiation after effects I believe.
Male | 67
The headache and confusion he is experiencing might be due to the hematoma, which is a blood clot in his brain. The air in the burr holes is concerning. The brain cannot tolerate excess blood, as it may cause problems. At least the pain medicine is helping him. His recovery process might be a bit lengthy. It's important to stay in constant communication with the doctors at the hospital.

Doctor, can I take 1500 mcg vitamin b12 supplements to increase my brain function as I am a student.
Female | 15
Taking 1500 mcg vitamin B12 supplements may not be required if you do not have a B12 deficiency. B12 deficiency symptoms can involve such matters as depression, dizziness, and memory loss. A blood test is a way to see your vitamin B12 levels. Only in case of a deficiency, the correct dose will be pointed out by your doctor.

Early interventions such as therapies can help improve muscle tone, mobility, and communication skills. While challenges may exist, many children with cerebral palsy make progress with support.

Male | 69
Your grandfather might be experiencing tongue problems acquired after a recent stroke. This is the term for dysphagia, which is difficulty in swallowing and speaking. Amazingly, he can now open his mouth and move his tongue slowly. For him to make a full recovery, speech therapy might be useful. Exercises and techniques help in the aspect of toning control of the tongue and swallowing, adding to the general treatment of dysphagia.

Male | 23
The pain might be due to nerve compression affecting the L3, L4, L5, and S1 vertebrae in your legs. It's best to see a neurologist, as they specialize in this area. They might suggest medications to reduce pain and inflammation. Physiotherapy and simple exercises could help relieve the pain and strengthen your back and core muscles, which will benefit your health in the long run.
