It is quite predictable for a person who had a stroke for the second time to have trouble speaking and experiencing behavior changes. The good thing is that he ate without any problem which is a way forward. His improved swallowing ability is reflected in his independent eating skills. It's necessary to lay a good basis by cutting out soft foods and liquids to avoid choking. Let him carry out the process of swallowing without being rushed. It's recommended that a speech therapist or a healthcare provider be the one to provide him with a diet plan that he must follow carefully.

Haii doc, Thanks in advance for answering my questions. Doc my problem is something fishy like I feel unstable and dizzy while hearing load sounds noise and also in closed rooms and sometimes due to horns of buses. I use to get out of the place to make myself relax before I get dizzy on floor. Could you help me regarding this
Male | 23
You may be experiencing noise-induced dizziness, wherein loud sounds or certain surroundings make you feel off-balance or dizzy. It can occur as a result of the sensitivity of your inner ear. It is perfectly normal to be anxious in such situations. Try the earplugs in the noisy areas and take short breaks in the quieter spots. If the issue remains, it is necessary to talk with a neurologist for more information in case of a further problem.

I was twitching all night and when I was awake too and that never happened before. Took magnesium but that did not help. Now still feeling like I am about to twitch again like electricity running through my body
Female | 27
Muscle twitches occur for varying reasons. Stress, lack of sleep, or excessive caffeine intake can trigger them. Alternatively, vitamin deficiencies may be the culprit. Since magnesium didn't alleviate your symptoms, trying other supplements or consulting a neurologist might be beneficial. Additionally, ensuring adequate hydration and rest could potentially mitigate the twitching.

Urgent- I am 53 old male with history of restless leg syndrome from approx. 20 years. With time it as become more severe as because I can’t sleep for many nights. By advance diagnosis doc discover i lack in dopamine production. I am having depressing thoughts .. can u give me promising treatment?
Male | 53
No single "promising treatment" will work for everyone with restless leg syndrome. Commonly recommended treatments include medications, lifestyle changes, and physical therapies. Medications and treatments can be prescribed only after a proper diagnosis. Rest you should avoid caffeine, alcohol, and tobacco to reduce the severity of symptoms. Physical therapies such as stretching, massage, and yoga can help relieve muscle tension and improve sleep quality. It is also important to discuss any feelings of depression with your doctor and consider seeking therapy or counseling.

I have Dystonia in my left Foot and Hand and so much pain. I can barely walk and this over 1 year. We tried things like Botox Injection and a lot of therapy but nothing helped. Is there any possibility for Deep Brain Stumulation?
Female | 18
I would suggest approaching to neurologist who specializes in movement disorders. DBS is one of the potential treatment options for dystonia and can be used based on a thorough evaluation by a specialist.

Hi sir/madam, I'm Suffering from right eye swelling,redness from past 25 days... recently I have visited a hospital and got my cerebral Angiogram test done...it was found that there is Dural arterveinous fistulae along bilateral cavernous sinuses nd clivus draining into bilateral petrosal sinuses and right superior opthalmic vein...which is causing swelling of eye,redness,watery eyes...They have suggested an exercise near neck(compression) for this problem. my question is does this problem go away with this exercise? How common is this problem?Any medical emergency required?What is the cost for stereographic radiation therapy? Thank you.
Male | 52
The answer to your question depends on the cause of the dural arteriovenous fistulae. If it is caused by a congenital abnormality, exercise may help reduce the symptoms, but it is unlikely to completely resolve the condition. If the cause is a tumor or an aneurysm, then exercise may help reduce the symptoms, but a more comprehensive treatment plan may be required. The cost of stereotactic radiation therapy varies depending on the institution providing the therapy. It is best to seek advice from a specialist to determine the best course of treatment.

Had a blood patch on Wednesday for a CSF leak, having now what I would call rebound headaches any advise please
Male | 42
Rebound headaches are common after treating CSF leaks. They occur when the brain becomes accustomed to painkillers and protests when they wear off. To deal with them, try not to overuse pain medicines. Reduce their intake gradually, keep yourself hydrated, and maintain a regular sleep pattern. If they persist, seek further advice from a neurologist.

Some of the things that can cause daily headaches are stress, sleep deprivation, and poor diet. Drinking enough water, getting regular sleep, and learning how to deal with stress healthily are all important for our health. If the headache does not improve, it would be wise to consult a neurologist for more treatment.

Male | 46
Symptoms such as fever, headache, throwing up, diarrhea, and nervousness could point towards a stomach bug or food poisoning. These might also leave you feeling light-headed or generally unwell. Make sure to drink enough water, get plenty of rest, and stick with bland foods if this is what you’re going through. If your condition doesn’t improve or gets worse than before, please see a doctor so they can examine you properly and give appropriate treatment options.

I am 24 year old and I m having stiffness in my head feel pinching irritation and feels empty like feeling very quick and tired
Female | 24
Hey, Welcome to ClinicSpots. We understand your concerns and are here to provide guidance.
Feeling stiffness, pinching irritation, and a sense of emptiness in your head could indicate various underlying factors. These symptoms may stem from stress, anxiety, or even migraines. Stress often manifests as tension headaches or a feeling of pressure in the head. It's also possible these symptoms could be related to migraines, which can cause throbbing pain and sensitivity to light and sound. Additionally, conditions like anxiety can contribute to sensations of head stiffness and quick fatigue. It's important to consider any recent changes in your lifestyle or stress levels that might be triggering these symptoms.
Next Steps to Follow
- Consult a Healthcare Professional: Schedule an appointment with a neurologist or a primary care physician to discuss your symptoms in detail. They can conduct a thorough evaluation to determine the underlying cause.
- Medical Evaluation: Your doctor may recommend diagnostic tests such as imaging studies or blood tests to rule out neurological conditions or other health issues.
- Lifestyle Modifications: Practice stress management techniques, and gentle exercises like yoga or meditation, and maintain a regular sleep schedule to support overall well-being and manage symptoms.
- Follow-up: Keep track of any changes in your symptoms and follow up with your healthcare provider as advised.
Health Tip
Incorporate relaxation techniques into your daily routine to help alleviate symptoms. Deep breathing exercises and gentle stretches can help reduce tension and promote relaxation.

I am 16 years old male and I have headache in one side of head till 3 days and I have used saridon to recover this .
Male | 16
You have had a headache on one side of your head for about 3 days. That may be a migraine. Migraines are sharp pains in the head that happen on one side of the head after nausea or sensitivity to light. Saridon might alleviate the pain for a while, however, it is essential to find out about the causes of your migraines. Notice any symptoms you have and whatever triggers lead up to your headaches. Avoiding heiks like stress, lack of sleep, favorite foods, or loud noises may help you stop migraines. Should headaches continue or deteriorate, a doctor is the right person to consult.

im 19 and i sometimes feel dizzy when i stand up. this sometimes comes with shaking of my legs, arms and blurrines, almost dark. whats my issue?
Female | 19
You might have orthostatic hypotension, which causes dizziness and tremors when you stand up due to a sudden drop in blood pressure. It can also cause brief vision problems. To help, drink plenty of water and avoid standing for too long. If this happens often or worsens, consult a neurologist to ensure everything is okay.

Female | 17
You might be suffering from post-concussion syndrome. This can often occur after traumatic brain injury. The main symptoms are the sudden surge of heat, constant headaches, light, and smell sensitivity, dizziness, and vomiting. Taking a break from activities that require mental concentration, drinking enough water, steering clear of triggers, and keeping in touch with your neurologist are all necessary steps for your recovery. They can offer help of the right kind that would be suitable for you.

I met with a head injury after a bike accident and suffered inter parenchymal bleeding as per ct scan doctors said I am alive just because blood did not clot inside head and it went out but m still facing issues with my memory after 2 months of the incident,in that accident my jaw was also dislocated but they operated it and fixed I don't know what is causing me memory problems
Male | 23
Memory trouble following a blow to the head might be due to the way it affects your brain. When the brain’s tissues become injured, this can impact its ability to store and recall information. Sometimes these kinds of injuries need time to heal so make sure you’re getting plenty of rest and eating well while also seeing your neurologist for regular check-ups. They might even recommend certain therapies designed specifically for improving memory.

Maybe your friend will be feeling that she/he is very sleepy, very dizzy, or may lose consciousness. This occurs because the body is overwhelmed by the drug. It is crucial to take the right steps immediately and calling emergency services is an important one. They will give the needed treatment so that your friend can heal.

Usually, a doctor prescribes medicine after evaluating seizures in cerebral palsy. Seizures cause movement, staring, shaking. The prescription's goal is controlling seizures. Following the doctor's orders closely matters. Don't miss dosages. Always tell your neurologist of changes or effects.

My grandfather age is 69 he has second brain stroke before 5 month today his throat is peining (nv tude is use to feeding) please doctor tell is any problem related to stroke
Male | 69
Often after a stroke, people can have problems swallowing. This is called dysphagia. It can be painful to the throat and hence eating or drinking becomes difficult. This is because the muscles associated with swallowing may not work properly after a stroke. Discuss this with your neurologist to accomplish feeding and avoid any complications.

I am 52 years old, male. I have a tremor only in my right hand for 4 years and it has been diagnosed as Parkinson's. Which therapy methods are suitable for me? Is stem cell therapy an option for me? I would like to receive advice. Best regard
Male | 52
Your Parkinson's tremor has caused a shaking hand on your right side as the doctor has identified. This can make you shiver, get stiff muscles, or have difficulty with your movements. Parkinson's treatment is the administration of drugs, physical therapy, and as a rule, in a small number of cases, also surgery. Even though research has been done regarding stem cell therapy it is not regularly practiced as a primary therapy for Parkinson's. Follow the prescribed therapies that your doctor gives you.
