My sister got a brain tumor in early 2012 and she got successful brain operation on November 2012. After that, she got 23 cycles of radiotherapy. Till early 2019 she was quite good. Recently she's is losing her memory and day by day it's getting worse. Recent MRI's show her brain damage during radiotherapy. Which is causing memory losses. Can you suggest to me what should I do. Her age is 43 years.

There are many reasons why people get headaches. For example, pressure or strain due to stress can cause it; failure to drink water may also contribute, and spending too much time looking at a screen can be another factor. To relieve yourself of these symptoms ensure that you are taking enough water and breaks as much as possible from screens while getting adequate sleep each night. If they persist then see a doctor immediately.

I am 15 yrs old. I have continuously headache In my report of mri preventricular cyst has mentioned I have medicine about 1 month But nothing good happening Very much headache
Female | 15
A periventricular cyst present in your MRI report might be causing these headaches. These cysts are sacs filled with fluid exerting pressure on your brain and causing headaches. It is important to follow up with your doctor so they can look into other treatment options like maybe some drugs or even surgery depending on how serious the cyst is. Try to keep positive about everything and continue telling your neurologist about any new developments in your condition.

Sir, I have headache like tight band with nausea,stress,tension. Sir,Please give me some medicines for relief.
Male | 17
I see that you have a tight band headache around your head and feel like vomiting because of anxiety and stress as well. These signs might mean that you have a tension-type headache; typically caused by bad posture at work or eyestrain from looking at computer screens all day long. You could take some painkillers such as paracetamol or ibuprofen to help relieve the pain in your head. Moreover try and calm down by breathing deeply plus drink lots of water. If this feeling doesn’t go away please go see a doctor so they can check it out.

Female | 28
Random numbness in your body can feel quite worrying. Causes include circulation issues, compressed nerves, or anxiety. For prevention, eat nutritious foods, exercise regularly, and manage stress levels. However, if you are experiencing persistent numbness, visit a neurologist to identify the underlying reason and receive proper treatment.

I am a 18 year old female who is experiencing tingling sensation in her back. This has been happening for about 1 and a half years
Female | 18
This feeling may be due to; a nerve in the back being pressed on or even bad posture. When sitting or standing up you are doing so as straight as possible. Gentle back stretches and exercises might help. However, if this feeling doesn’t stop it is always best to talk to a neurologist who can give advice specific to your needs.

Mild to moderate numbness that comes and goes on right side of head and behind ear. It's been going on for 2+ hours.

Seek immediate medical attention from a neurologist to determine the cause, as it could be related to factors, some of which may require prompt evaluation and treatment. Don't ignore concerning symptoms, especially if they are accompanied by weakness, difficulty speaking, severe headache, or changes in vision.

Female | 39
A stroke occurs when the flow of blood to the brain is hindered, causing weakness or trouble in moving a limb on one side of the body. Symptoms that may develop in this condition are fever, cough, and physical weakness. It is absolutely vital to get medical attention immediately if a stroke is suspected, as early intervention is crucial for recovery.

Male | 28
You may be having tension-type headaches. These feel like a tight band around your head. Stress, bad posture, or eye strain often cause them. The pain may move or spread. Try relaxing techniques to ease the headaches. Improve your posture and take breaks from screens. See a neurologist if they worsen or last longer. They can check further and suggest remedies.

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.

Hello, my 16-year-old son has been living with epilepsy for approximately 6-7 years. We have consulted multiple doctors and tried various treatments and medications. Unfortunately, the prescribed medications have been unable to effectively manage his seizures. Over the past three days, he has been experiencing severe seizures that we have never seen before. Could you please advise if your hospital has a specialized neurologist with expertise in epilepsy treatment and surgery? We would greatly appreciate any feedback you can provide, including testimonials from other patients who have received care at your hospital. Additionally, we would like to know the price list for all treatments, including surgeries, and the types of surgeries you perform. We are currently exploring options for our son's care and would appreciate any guidance you can offer. Thank you, and we look forward to your response.

It’s always very worrying when a child’s seizures are as intense as you say and don’t seem to be affected by any drugs. This needs attention right away. When medicine doesn’t help, sometimes surgery will. The cost of treatment may depend on different things and I think it would be good for you to talk with the staff about that.

Female | 21
You might be suffering from some adverse reactions to the medications you took for your UTI. Numbness, pain in legs and feet, body shaking, weakness, difficulty bending your head, acidity, and headache can be the side effects of the medicines. In cases like this, the medicines might not be suitable for your body. Make sure to tell your doctor about these symptoms for him to give you the right advice.

Urgent- I am 53 old male with history of restless leg syndrome from approx. 20 years. With time it as become more severe as because I can’t sleep for many nights. By advance diagnosis doc discover i lack in dopamine production. I am having depressing thoughts .. can u give me promising treatment?
Male | 53
No single "promising treatment" will work for everyone with restless leg syndrome. Commonly recommended treatments include medications, lifestyle changes, and physical therapies. Medications and treatments can be prescribed only after a proper diagnosis. Rest you should avoid caffeine, alcohol, and tobacco to reduce the severity of symptoms. Physical therapies such as stretching, massage, and yoga can help relieve muscle tension and improve sleep quality. It is also important to discuss any feelings of depression with your doctor and consider seeking therapy or counseling.

Dear Sir, Below i am sending my father MRI report, kindly guide me. MRI REPORT – BRAIN WITH CONTRAST TECHNIQUE: T1W Sagittal, DWI - b1000, ADC, GRE T2W FS Axial, MR Angiogram, FLAIR Axial & Coronal Post contrast images after administration of 5 ml of gadolinium contrast. OBSERVATION: The study reveals an intrasellar mass lesion, with enlargement of the right half of the anterior pituitary gland, extending to the suprasellar cistern. The mass lesion is predominantly isointense to gray matter on T1-weighted images. On T2-weighted images the mass is predominantly isointense to gray matter with internal areas of T2 hyperintensity suggestive of ?necrosis/cystic change. Dynamic postcontrast images revealed decreased/delayed enhancement of the mass lesion as compared to the rest of the pituitary gland. The mass lesion measures 1.2 AP x 1.6 TR x 1.6 SI cm. Superiorly the mass displaces the infundibulum to the left side. A clear CSF plane of cleavage is seen between the superior aspect of the mass lesion and the optic chasm. No significant parasellar extension of the mass lesion is seen. The cavernous segment of both internal carotid arteries show normal flow void. The mass causes mild thinning of the floor of the sella turcica, with slight bulge toward the roof of the sphenoid sinus. MR findings likely represent pituitary adenoma. Confluent and discrete areas of T2/flair hyperintensity are seen in bilateral supratentorial periventricular and subcortical deep white matter, likely representing nonspecific ischemic changes with a combination of leukoariosis, microvascular ischemic changes, lacunar infarcts and prominent perivascular spaces. Basal ganglia and thalami are normal. Midbrain, pons and medulla are normal in signal intensity. The cerebellum appears normal. Bilateral CP angle cisterns are normal. The ventricular system and subarachnoid spaces are normal. No significant midline shift is seen. The cranio-cervical junction is normal. Post-contrast images reveal no other abnormal enhancing pathology. Bilateral maxillary sinus polyps are noted.
