What are the risks of stroke in a cancer patient?
My grandmother got a mini stroke and she is already a cancer patient and while the mini stroke she bited her tounge and immediately we took her to the hospital and the doctor said the stroke has gone to the brain what may it cause ?
Neurosurgeon
Answered on 20th Aug '24
Brain injuries like a mini-stroke may cause the brain to not work correctly, thus leaving some of the body weak, causing difficulties to speak, and even confusion. Due to her history of cancer, it is critical to keep a close watch on her as a stroke can complicate her condition. A neurologist will probably suggest some medications and rehabilitation to assist her in recovery.

Why I am having a headache and nousea
Female | 19
When head throbs and the stomach churns, it often has simple causes. Perhaps not enough water passed your lips. Or maybe a meal you ate stirred unpleasant reactions. Anxieties also bring those unpleasant companions knocking. Drink deeply from the well, and eat gently. But if discomforts persist, visit a neurologist.

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.

I’ve had a headache for the past five days. Usually behind the eyes and sometimes a stabbing pain behind the head.
Male | 19
This is a common type called a tension headache. These types of headaches can cause pain behind your eyes. They can also make you feel a stabbing pain at the back of your head. Stress, bad posture, or lack of sleep often cause them. Try to relax and drink lots of water. Do some easy neck stretches too. If the headaches keep happening, talk to a doctor.

One more question my ears are ringing it's been 2 months to my accident and having a slight hearing loss in left ear it will go away or not ?
Male | 23
Ringing in the ears and deafness after an accident can result from injury to the tiny hairs in the inner ear. This might occur if there is an abrupt loud noise or trauma. It is necessary to consult with an audiologist. They will be able to determine what would be most helpful for your situation in terms of hearing improvement methods. Do not be afraid because there are treatments that can be used for you to be able to hear well again.

I can't smell any thing I can't get any taste of food my head is paining alot
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.

I have dizziness throughout the day and head swinging also. Plus there is bleeding slightly light in color. And I had empty stomach throughout the day also.
Female | 25
Dizziness, head swinging, and slightly light bleeding - these symptoms sound like low blood sugar. They happen when you don't eat enough. Your blood sugar drops, making you feel unsteady and dizzy. To help, eat regular meals and snacks all day to keep blood sugar steady. Include a mix of healthy foods: fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and proteins. If the symptoms don't go away, talk to a neurologist. They'll evaluate further.

I experienced a fall from a chair backward and received a blow to the back right side of my head, behind the ears. There's a small swelling, but it's entirely painless, with no accompanying symptoms such as vomiting, headache, nausea, or confusion. It's been 40 days, and the swelling persists without any pain. What course of action would you recommend I take?
Male | 20
It's good that you don't have severe symptoms like headache, nausea, or confusion. However, since the swelling has persisted for 40 days, it's important to get it checked. I recommend visiting a neurologist to ensure there are no underlying issues.

I am having hormonal migraines due to my period starting soon. My go-to remedies are not having any effect lately. I have already taken Excedrin but with no improvement. I want to take naproxen-sumatriptan. Can I take this after taking Excedrin? How long should I wait?
Female | 29
If Excedrin hasn't provided relief for your hormonal migraines, it's best not to take naproxen sumatriptan without consulting a doctor. Combining medications without guidance can be harmful. Seek advice from a healthcare provider or pharmacist for a safe alternative or proper timing to take naproxen-sumatriptan.

Female | 15
You might be feeling the restless legs syndrome. It is a kind of disorder that can lead to you wanting to move your legs (or even hands) all the time, especially during the night. It can greatly affect the process of falling asleep. Restless legs syndrome is usually due to low iron, numerous medications, or other health conditions. Reaching the reason beneath it and then applying some life changes can help. Visit a health specialist for a personalized answer.

I have migraine in left side
Male | 22
Headaches on one side of your head, throbbing with each pulse. Loud noises and bright lights feel like knives. Sometimes, nausea even joins in. This unwelcome guest? A migraine. Certain foods, stress, lack of sleep, or hormonal changes can trigger it. But you can fight back! Stay hydrated, breathe deeply, and find calm. Pay attention to what triggers it. If migraines don't take the hint, talk to a neurologist.

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.

Headaches can have a variety of reasons including stress, tension, dehydration, eye strain, or sinus issues. The symptoms you mentioned can sometimes be related with more serious conditions, like migraine, nerve damage, or blood circulation issues, and a healthcare professional can conduct a physical examination, review her medical history, and perform necessary diagnostic tests to help determine the cause of her symptoms.

I had an EEG done a couple weeks ago and my neurology appointment is a month away. I'm trying to make heads and tails with what I've been told
Male | 35
If there were any abnormal brain waves, your doctor may want to investigate further. Things like seizures or even bad headaches can cause strange brain wave patterns to show up on this test. So, it’s good news that you have an appointment with a neurologist coming up soon. They will be able to help you figure out what comes next based on what’s been going on with you and what showed up in the EEG.
