Answered on 16th Oct '24
Has your partner seemed forgetful or confused? These could be signs of dementia, which affects memory, thinking, and reasoning. Hallucinations, like seeing or hearing things that aren't real, may also happen. It's important to see a neurologist for a diagnosis and treatment.

I have been diagnosed with bells palsy for the past 2 weeks, so I want the best medicine?
Male | 24
For bells palsy consult a neurologist from a well known hospital in India or ENT specialist, for personalized treatment. There are a few common treatments like corticosteroids to reduce inflammation, eye care to protect the affected eye, and possibly physical therapy. There's no one size fits all medicine for this condition, so follow your doctor's advice for the most effective treatment plan for your needs.

Male | 43
If the shunt isn't working right, symptoms can come back. In such cases, replacing or adjusting the shunt may be necessary to ensure it properly drains the fluid. It's important to address this quickly to avoid complications. Talk to the specialist who has been treating your husband, may be able to provide further guidance on the next steps. It is important to follow the doctor's advice and closely monitor your husband's condition.

I am here for my relative age 23 female. She have some mugrane and she take vivax 5 mg regular and naxdom tablet only when too much headache. But ,by mistake today after dinner she have taken three (3) Vivax 5mg and one Naxdom .We worrid about that......She have taken 3 vivax 5mg instead of 1 vivax 5mg
Female | 23
Taking 3 tablets of Vivax 5mg can lead to an overdose of the medication, which can cause dizziness, confusion, headache, and nausea. But since Vivax 5mg is a relatively low dose medication the risk of serious complications is low. Also taking Naxdom along with it is not harmful. But if you face any serious symtpoms then consult a neurologist.

My grandfather age is 69 he had second brain stroke after 3 month now he able to speak slow slow today he got anger and eat food by himself without ask anyone after I ask him is any problem you in eat he said no problem and easy to eat . so please doctor suggest me can we start giving him food by mouth
Male | 69
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.

I’m 18 year old female, 5.5 and 1/2 160 pounds, for the past 3 months I’ve been having dizzy spells, blurry vision and sometimes loss of vision, my whole body heats up, sometimes I puke, it happens a lot when I get out of the shower and I don’t take hot showers. I take Vyvanse,
Female | 18
This sounds like the symptoms of a condition called postural orthostatic syndrome (POTS). POTS can make you feel dizzy, lightheaded, or faint when you stand up. It can also cause your vision to blur when standing up, heat intolerance, and nausea upon standing up. Vyvanse could worsen these symptoms. Drinking lots of fluids and adding more salt to your diet might help. Talk to your doctor about this.

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.

I am 27 year old female I take sertraline I need to take betahistine for vertigo but I am afraid to take it because I’m scared of serious side effects or getting Steven Johnson syndrome
Female | 27
I get what you’re saying about using Betahistine with Sertraline. Don’t worry, few people get severe side effects like Steven Johnson Syndrome from Betahistine. Some common side effects might be a headache or an upset stomach. When you’re suffering from vertigo, it feels like everything is spinning around you. Betahistine works by increasing the blood flow within the inner ear which can help with this. However, it’s best to speak with your doctor before taking any medication.

The causes of these types of headaches are lack of adequate sleep, stress, dehydration, or even certain foods. To ease the pain, you may make sure you drink enough water, have proper sleep, do not allow stress to take over, and stay away from trigger foods. If the symptoms persist, it is good to visit a doctor

You might be going through Peripheral Neuropathy, a disease. It is when nerves in the body are not functioning properly. The usual reasons are diabetes, deficiencies in vitamins, and some medicines. To get better, you should focus on the problems that are underneath, have a healthy lifestyle, and also talk to a neurologist so they can examine you and treat you.

It's essential to consult a neurologist, as these symptoms may be related to underlying neurological or circulatory issues. Additionally, the appearance of a new blue patch on your leg should be evaluated urgently. Further tests and examinations are needed to determine the cause and provide appropriate treatment.

I am 18 years old.I have a problem of head movement if i stand for 10 mintues.
Female | 18
You may feel light-headed if you stand up too fast. This could be caused by several things such as dehydration, low blood pressure, or problems with your inner ear. You should try drinking more water, getting up more slowly, and eating regular meals. If these steps don’t help, then it would be best to see a neurologist.

Yesterday I had leg and feets pain like sprain today at night suddenly it started twitching it was so intense that I was moving my legs hands arm it was more in arm I was crying out ???? and and teeth were shivering and now suddenly my pain disappeared and shivering also disappeared I still can't stop crying. my forehead is hot and my teeth are shivering but I am not feeling much cold on my feet but there is some coldness
Female | 18
The twitching and shaking may be the result of muscle spasms caused by dehydration, low levels of certain minerals like potassium or calcium, or overexertion of muscles. A hot forehead could be a sign of increased body temperature. Be sure to drink enough water and eat foods rich in minerals like bananas, nuts, and dairy products. On the other hand, taking a warm bath and resting can also help relax your muscles. If these symptoms continue, it is necessary to see a neurologist.

Female | 17
You may have Meniere's disease. This condition makes you feel dizzy when you stand up. It also gives you long, bad headaches. Your ears may ring and hurt. Meniere's disease happens when fluid builds up in your inner ear. To treat it, doctors give medicine to reduce dizziness. You may also need to change your lifestyle to manage the condition. It is best to see a neurologist.
