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.

Female | 61

Bilateral basal ganglia calcification is a condition where large calcium deposits form in the brain, potentially causing movement issues like stiffness and tremors. These deposits can result from inherited disorders or metabolic disturbances. Treatment typically involves drug therapy and counseling, tailored to the specific symptoms and underlying cause.

Dear Doctor, I'm reaching out because I'm concerned about my health I experience: - Constant headaches with a throbbing, knocking pain - Pain above, behind, under, and around my eyes - Bloody spit when I wake up in the morning - Facial pain - Pain behind my neck - Constant tiredness - Random struggles with finding the right words to say - Dizziness when standing up, similar to when I start up too fast I'm worried about what might be causing these symptoms, and I'd greatly appreciate any guidance or advice you can offer. Thank you for your time, and I look forward to hearing from you.

Your symptoms, including persistent headaches, facial discomfort, and fatigue, could stem from several conditions, such as sinus issues, tension headaches, or even dehydration. The blood in saliva may indicate an underlying issue that warrants further evaluation. I strongly recommend scheduling an appointment with a healthcare professional. They can perform a thorough examination and possibly recommend tests to identify the root cause. In the meantime, ensure you stay well-hydrated, rest adequately, and note any additional changes in your symptoms.

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.

I am a 22 years old male with stiff neck numb head at back side of head and severe headache above the ears eyes burning and inner body shaking feeling tired all the day

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.
