Female | 23

Sleep difficulties and sensations of irritation or goosebumps could be due to many factors. It's essential to establish a relaxing bedtime routine, maintain a consistent sleep schedule, and create a comfortable sleeping environment. Reducing stress through relaxation techniques and avoiding stimulants can also help improve your sleep. If the problem persists, consider consulting a neurology professional or a sleep specialist from known hospitals for further evaluation and guidance.

Is there any treatment for optical nerve injury vision loss

Male | 32

The optic nerve is crucial for the eyes to send signals to the brain for clear vision. Blurred sight, color vision loss, and even blindness can occur. Causes include head trauma, inflammation, glaucoma, and other diseases. Sadly, damaged optic nerves can't fully heal. But treating root causes and eye care may stop further harm. Seeing an eye doctor regularly helps manage vision changes, and keeps eyes healthy.

I misread numbers a lot, for example I had to do an essay of 2000 words I clearly saw 2000 but days later I heard it was 1000 and I went to check it again and it was seriously 1000. And whenever I see on my laptop huge paragraphs all over my screen, my eyes feel weird like I cant focus or something. Is it normal?

Female | 19

You could have an eye issue called asthenopia. It happens when your eyes get tired from reading words or screens for too long. Some reasons are looking at screens for hours or using the wrong glasses. To help, take breaks often, adjust the lighting, and maybe get an eye exam for new glasses.

Slurry speech, hand shivering, face muscle tightening

Male | 53

You might have some of the signs of Parkinson’s disease. Slurred speech, trembling hands, and tightened facial muscles can be caused by this. When a certain group of brain cells are damaged, Parkinson’s occurs. Treatment may involve drugs and therapy to help with symptom control. You must visit a specialist such as a neurologist so they can provide appropriate care for you.

I have excess B6 vitamin levels from past 6 months numbness and pain in feet … I stop taking pyrodioxine from past 6 months yet no change in pain

Male | 24

Sensory issues, specifically numbness in the feet and its pain are one of the potential causes of B6 vitamin overdose. It is great you have ceased using it. Your system could take a long while to gain steadiness. A balanced diet rich in vitamins and moderate physical exercise remain the basic activities. If pain persists, kindly consult a neurologist. They will assist you in determining suitable options for you to handle your symptoms.

i'm getting extreme severe pain at the back of head. it's feeling as if someone's hitting me with hammer with each heartbeat. I had lunch in the afternoon and slept. The pain has been there from the moment I woke up. It's in the occipital region, like the occipital headache. I'm assuming 4 main reasons. 1st one is gastric pain(if gas pain has been struck in my head). it occured to me before and also maybe this time since I didn't walk after having lunch, i usually have gastric issue. 2nd is I have severe wax in my ear. my ear's also paining, so i'm assuming this back head pain because of ear wax. third is the stress/strain which i've been experiencing from a month or so, due to the exam fear n stress, i didn't sleep properly from a month and yesterday night I had undergone an incident with the biggest stress in my life, so, i'm assuming that. 4th reason is that frm childhood, i have severe severe body heat within my body, my body overheats a lot within and i had continously overheating food from 2 days and didn't drink much water, so i'm also assumung pain because of overheating. pls tell me the final diagnosis. Dear Sir/Mam, you can cross question me how much ever deep u want ! jus give me the cause n solution pls doctor! i'll be really really grateful to u sir/mam

Male | 20

You described severe pain hitting the back of your head with every heartbeat. Several factors might contribute.

First, gas trapped in the body could cause gastric discomfort radiating upwards.
Second, built-up earwax might trigger ear pain spreading to the head.
Third, stress and strains from exams could manifest as tension headaches.
Fourth, overheating due to excess body heat production could cause throbbing pain.

To address these potential causes: Walk after meals for better digestion and gas relief. Gently clean ears or seek professional ear wax removal. Practice relaxation, get ample sleep and find support for stress management. Stay hydrated and maintain balanced nutrition to regulate body temperature. However, if the intense hammering pain persists or worsens, promptly consult a neurologist for proper diagnosis and treatment.

Sir I have had two foot foot drop for the last few years, let me know the solution

Male | 42

The best solution for foot drop is usually an AFO (ankle-foot orthosis) brace. This brace helps to keep the ankle in the correct position and supports the foot, allowing you to lift it more easily. Your doctor may also recommend physical therapy or other treatments, such as electrical stimulation or surgery, to help strengthen and improve the function of the muscles in your foot and ankle.

Internal head pain starting from left side and radiate to back side of the head

Male | 28

Headaches can feel like pressure around your head, often starting on one side and spreading. This type of headache is known as a tension headache and can feel like a band squeezing your head. They may be caused by stress, poor posture, or eye strain. To relieve the pain, try relaxing, sitting up straight, and resting your eyes. If the pain persists, it's wise to see a neurologist.

I have been having consistent headaches and pain all over my head for more than a month now, i usually feel like liquid flowing in my head sometimes, when the headache starts it makes me stressed and angry. Please help me I really need solution to this it's really dealing with me.

Male | 23

Persistent headaches and head pain may be caused by several different factors such as tension, vision fatigue, insufficient fluid intake, and even migraine. The situation of liquid flowing in your head may be connected to sinuses or tension headaches. Consume enough water, handle stress effectively, get sufficient sleep, and go to a neurologist to find the exact reason and receive the correct treatment.

Have a pulsating headache on both sides of my head since a month

Female | 18

Steady throbbing in your head for a month straight is a real downer. That might mean tension headaches. Stress, no sleep, eyes straining too much - those things can cause them. Take breaks from computer screens. Relax your body and mind. Sleep enough hours each night. Pain relievers you can buy without a prescription might help. Drink lots of water, too. But if the headaches won't go away, you should visit a neurologist to get checked out properly.

Kindly suggest helpful which and what treatment is suitable and advisable.

Female | 54

It seems you're dealing with health issues like myositis and myasthenia gravis, which weaken muscles affecting your legs and voice. Since previous treatments haven’t helped, your doctor suggests rituximab to reduce inflammation and improve symptoms. Monitoring is important due to high CD19 levels. Be sure to discuss any concerns or side effects with your neurologist.

During solving complex programs , I find it difficult to keep all things which I thought previously ( seconds ago) in my head to solve the problem. Even though I dedicate so much of time in studying , I could not match with my friends scores ( who score more than me by putting lesser effort than me ) and this makes more depressed and tired . Currently I have very bad lifestyle ( junk food, no exercise, no proper sleep) , but I have already tried following these steps and ended up in no results . I am a undergrad student , I need to resolve this to get placed . I need to know the exact reasons and disorder behind this and exact solutions to get back my old brain . This change happened to me before 5 years , currently I am 22 years old . During my school time , my brain was normal and properly functioning. I don’t know what exactly caused this change. Please help me in this , I am really hopeless here

Male | 22

Your concentration, memory, and cognitive functions are showing ominous symptoms of worry. Thus, it is likely that they are caused by stress, unhealthy lifestyles, sleep deprivation, and poor diet. Eating, sleeping, exercising, and managing stress should become a priority if you wish to enhance your brain function. You could also consider speaking with a psychiatrist or counselor for support. Implementing these interventions can enable you to control your brain operation as well as enhance your general well-being.

Hello Sir, I have Andrealine rush problem, especially during morning hours. I used to take beta blockers for some other problem. They were very helpful in controlling andrealine rush and keeping mind relax. As I am not longer taking beta blockers can you suggest any alternative for andrealine rush problem. Thank you!

Male | 29

Stress, anxiety, or hormonal changes can cause hyperactivity. If beta-blockers aren’t available, practices like yoga, meditation, deep breathing, or light exercise can help. These methods calm both the mind and body, reducing adrenaline and promoting relaxation. For better results consult a neurologist.

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.

It is quite normal to experience headaches due to hormonal changes and lack of sleep after childbirth. However, headache shooting coupled with chest and throat pain should not be ignored. It is essential to eliminate the fear of serious conditions, such as postpartum preeclampsia or infections.
