It seems that your mother experienced a stroke on her right side, which initially affected her ability to talk but left her memory intact. It's possible that the administration of Zyprexa (an antipsychotic medication) and Ativan (a sedative) may have been done to manage symptoms related to the stroke, such as agitation or anxiety.

Getting dizziness in the evening while walking ir imbalance Age 60 years diabetis 160 to 220 bp 90 to 140 angioplasty done in March 2023
Male | Vinayak mistry
Feeling dizzy or unsteady, particularly at night, can be quite scary. The condition of your blood sugar level and the up-down movement of blood pressure could be the primary reasons for such a state, especially after the latest heart procedure. Things like dehydration, tiredness, or drugs' secondary reactions can be the real issue. To not let those symptoms of discomfort wash away your good health, be sure to drink plenty of water, have a balanced diet, and keep an eye on your blood pressure levels regularly. It is important to bring up these feelings with your neurologist who can give you a personalized plan and make an appropriate change to your present treatment.

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.

Migraine is a problem with which people have to endure pulsating headaches, become nauseous, and become weak to both light and sound. They can be provoked by stress, insufficient sleep, and some types of food. The most significant thing to do is to manage your stress, get sufficient sleep, and remove the food that triggers you, which are three helpful ways to avoid migraines.

I have adhd and have concerta perscribed to me and recently got a bladder stone, they gave me 2 5mg pills of oxycodone hydrochloride to take if my pain comes back and it has come back now. so my question is can i take oxycodone hydrochloride and Methylphenidate Hydrochloride (ritalin/concerta) together?
Male | 21
I won't recommend you to take oxycodone hydrochloride and Methylphenidate Hydrochloride (ritalin/concerta) together. You should consult with a neurologist first. Both medicines can have stimulant effects on the body and may interact with each other, potentially leading to serious side effects.

Im experiencing stiffness in my neck and upper back and have trouble swallowing food and water but i dont have any pain in my throat. There's unusual pressure in my throat which feels heavy and feels like my throat will break if turn my head .
Male | 20
You may have muscle spasms in your neck and upper back. This could make swallowing difficult, without throat pain. The throat pressure feeling could result from muscle tightness. Try gentle neck stretches. Apply heat to affected areas. Stay hydrated. Avoid sudden neck movements. If symptoms persist or worsen, see a neurologist. They can evaluate and guide you further.

Hi Doctor ,my child 3.5 yrs weight 11.7kg is a known case of seizure of unknown cause since 5 months of age.Now she is on Soval chrono 350 mg per day..... seizure is under control......all investigation are normal like eeg,MRI and other blood test......is the treatment going on in right track? She has leg pain at night time.Her latest serum valproic acid level is 115 which is slightly in toxic level.what to do now please suggest.
Female | 3
It's good your child's seizures remain controlled, although the night leg pains and higher valproic acid levels need discussion. Night leg pains might signal low magnesium or calcium, so checking those could help explain it. To address the higher valproic acid level, adjusting that medication dose may resolve it. Follow up with your child's doctor about these symptoms and potential treatment changes. If any other concerns arise, don't hesitate to reach out to a neurologist for guidance.

now a days I'm feeling my chest is too heavy and headache from one week and I'm not getting sleep at night and abdominal pain , leg pain , little bit problems while breathing , and feeling too much irritating and always overthinking and I'm not getting how to come out of that.
Female | 17
The heaviness in your chest, headache, trouble sleeping, abdominal pain, leg pain, breathing problems, irritability, and overthinking should be the concerning symptoms. Stress, anxiety, or even physical issues could be why this is happening. You have to take care of yourself, in which you can use relaxation techniques, talk to someone you trust about how you're feeling, practice deep breathing exercises, stay hydrated, eat well, and get some light exercise. If your symptoms continue or worsen, seek advice from a neurologist who can guide you further.

My mother is about 40 years old and she have an unknown brain disorder that it looks like she is in coma but only for 1-2 days after that she stays normal for about 1-2 week and goes into that semi coma state randomly and it seems like that she cannot understand anything and she couldn't do anything she can move but cannot control her body coordinately we have shown her to many doctors but no-one could understand her problem
Female | 40
Her symptoms may indicate a neurological issue that affects consciousness and motor coordination. Several potential causes exist, such as seizures, metabolic disorders, or other brain-related conditions. It’s essential to continue seeking specialized care. I recommend consulting a neurologist or a specialist in sleep medicine for further evaluation, including brain imaging and tests, to better understand her situation. Keeping a detailed diary of her episodes can also help doctors identify patterns.

My sister had a RTA last year in which she had a paraplegic spinal cord injury,she is doing physiotherapy since one year still can't walk without calipers,has no sensation,she is 20 years old
Female | 20
A spinal cord issue such as hers might result in weakness of stepping and the absence of the sense of touch. It occurs when the spinal cord sustains damage, generally from events such as a car ramming into it. Exercise makes muscles stronger, but full recovery might not be attained.

Male | 22
If you are experiencing neck stiffness, numbness at the back of your head, a bad headache, irritated eyes, body quivers, and extreme tiredness, these symptoms could be due to stress, lack of sleep, or an underlying medical issue. It's important to stay hydrated, take breaks from devices, and spend time outdoors. If the symptoms persist, talk to a healthcare provider for proper guidance.

Usual symptoms are fatigue, changes in appetite, shifts in mood, or pain. The possible causes include stress, hormonal fluctuations, or the lack of nutrients in the body. Touch your body always and a well-balanced diet, workout, and sufficient sleep should be prioritized. Furthermore, mindfulness can soothe you. It is highly recommended that you consult a neurologist for a complete examination and the proper treatment.

Right head always pain, every 4 to 5 days in week
Female | 29
Some people have pain on one side of their head for many days in a week. This could be a type of bad headache called a migraine. Migraines make your head hurt in throbs. Lights and sounds may feel too bright or loud. Stress, not enough sleep, some foods, and not drinking enough water can cause migraines. You can try to drink lots of water, get good rest, keep calm, and stay away from bright lights and loud noises. But if the head pain keeps happening, you should talk to a neurologist.

I am 18 and have recently been experiencing heavy memory loss (ex. unable to remember names, forgetting how to do tasks, driving unknown places). I have an appointment but I'm unsure whether I should go to urgent care for this instead or not.
Female | 18
Memory loss, particularly at a young age, is a matter of concern. Forgetfulness, having difficulties remembering names or tasks, and getting lost can be the signs of a serious issue. It might be due to stress, a lack of sleep, or a medical problem such as a brain injury or dementia. Getting a checked-up by a neurologist is essential. They can figure out the reason and offer the right treatment to help your memory improvement.

I'm a 35 year old man. I have numbness in both my hands for the last 4 days and today my lips are also numb. What should I do?
Male | 25
It might be numbness of hands and lips which could be a nerve problem. The main causes can be a lack of vitamins or compression of nerves. Make sure that your meals are diversified. Rather, try different procedures of raising your hands and be careful to keep the pressure off the nerves. Ask a neurologist to rule out possible causes if symptoms don't disappear or worsen.
