While there's no cure for this treatment but it can be managed based on symptoms, and thus treatments may vary based on the needs of patient.
This would require a multi-disciplinary team, but neurologist will be the main person, so refer our page so as to find them - Neurologists in India.

BUT SIR I HAVE NO OTHER SYMPTOMS OTHER THAN EXCESSIVE YAWNING AND SLEEPY FEEL
Male | 18
Excessive yawning and feeling sleepy even when there are no other symptoms can sometimes be due to lack of proper quality sleep. It is also linked to the feeling of being slightly down or the deficit of air. Try going to bed earlier and have a good sleep routine. Get outside for a breathe of fresh air each day to be active a little more.

I have some memory issue I forget things very easily Tingling sensation in hand and feet Headache Weakness
Female | 17
The possibility that a person may have memory problems, tingling in the hands and feet, headaches, or muscle weakness suggests that there may be a shortage of specific vitamins in his/her body like vitamin B12. Taking vitamin B12 could assist in this deficit and could be found in meat and dairy products.

My name Rizwan I want to know why my upper head having low pain and sometimes number and ears too numb What is the issue
Male | 25
You might have tension headaches. They cause mild upper head pain and numb ears. Common culprits? Stress piles on. Poor posture adds strain. Staring at screens strains eyes. Relax, give your body a break. Do some easy neck and shoulder stretches. Look away from screens often. Stay hydrated, young friend. Sleep enough hours at night. If symptoms persist or worsen, see a neurologist soon.

I was playing game for 9hour while leaning and 5 minutes after I went downstairs,I felt sudden lightheadnesz and sudden eye blurriness for a few seconds
Male | 13
It's common to experience dizziness and blurred vision after prolonged screen time, especially if you're leaning forward. This can be due to eye strain, dehydration, or a sudden change in posture. To alleviate these symptoms, take regular breaks, hydrate, and ensure proper lighting while gaming. When possible, practice stretching exercises to improve circulation. If these feelings persist or worsen, I recommend consulting a neurologist for a thorough evaluation to rule out any underlying conditions.

Talking alopathyic medicine for bp & stroke. In this case can take ayurvedic medicines for insomnia
Male | 64
Insomnia makes it hard to fall or stay asleep. Stress, medicines, and health issues can cause it. Be careful taking ayurvedic insomnia meds with allopathic blood pressure or stroke drugs. Always talk to your doctor before trying new medicines. This prevents interactions and side effects. Communicate clearly with your healthcare provider.

It's the middle of the night and I keep stretching my legs my arms and everything continuously and it's driving me crazy and I don't seem to fall asleep what's wrong with me??
Female | 15
You might be feeling the restless legs syndrome. It is a kind of disorder that can lead to you wanting to move your legs (or even hands) all the time, especially during the night. It can greatly affect the process of falling asleep. Restless legs syndrome is usually due to low iron, numerous medications, or other health conditions. Reaching the reason beneath it and then applying some life changes can help. Visit a health specialist for a personalized answer.

I can feel air moving thru the top of my head when I breath. Is that bad / dangerous?
Female | 25
Air can sometimes pass through the top of your head when you breathe. It may be due to a tiny hole in your skull or close to your sinuses. Or, you may have a blocked nose passage. See a doctor to know for sure. They can tell you the right reason and give treatment if needed.

Here is my story, Doctor. So, two years ago, I suddenly felt immense pain in my foot and got bedridden for almost three months. And then I rushed to a physician because at the time there was no neurologist in my city. The physician tested my vitamins and gave me some vitamins. It eventually got better and I was able to walk. I was overweight at that time and my physician told me that it's all because of weight. And then I lost almost 20 kilograms, but there was still feeling of socks. I don't feel any pain or anything, but I just feel like I'm wearing socks. Then after almost two years, I visited a neurologist with this and she tested my vitamins. She prescribed me vitamin D supplements since my vitamin D is at 12, but for one month. Nothing happened with this one month treatment. Then she did my NCV. She said my NCV reports are normal and has prescribed me some vitamins again. What do you think, how much time it would take to get completely cured?
Female | 21
Based on what you have told me, the peripheral disorder mentioned by the speaker is on track with peripheral nerve disease. In most cases, the feeling of socks on your feet could be easily attributed to peripheral neuropathy. You are lucky that your neurologist has done so many tests and that your vitamins and nerves are under control. Please continue to take the vitamins as per the doctor's prescription and remain patient. You will need some time to see improvements in your nerves. Also, keeping a check on your weight and living a healthy life will speed up your recovery while doing well.

Female | 29
It seems your MRI report indicates something that may warrant further discussion. Symptoms you might be experiencing can range from pain to discomfort, potentially caused by inflammation, injury, or other underlying issues. Solutions often include physical therapy, medication, or lifestyle changes aimed at alleviating these concerns. It's essential to consult your neurologist who can offer personalized advice and appropriate management options based on your specific circumstances.

Does levonorgestrel effective if I'm under epilepsy medication
Female | 22
Levonorgestrel is generally effective, even if someone is taking medication for epilepsy. However, you need to be aware that some anticonvulsants can influence hormones and, as a result, make contraceptives less effective. Warning signs include unexpected bleeding or changes in the menstrual cycle. The best way to ensure that you are fully protected is to discuss your situation with a neurologist too. They may propose other methods or additional protection that matches your special requirements.

I have a huge headache all the time
Male | 30
You're dealing with a persistent headache, which can be tough to endure. Common causes include stress, dehydration, or lack of sleep. It might also stem from eye strain or tension in your neck and shoulders. To help, try drinking more water, getting enough rest, and practicing relaxation techniques like deep breathing or gentle stretching. If the headache persists, consider consulting a neurologist for further evaluation.

It sounds like you're experiencing involuntary movements in your hand during the night. This could be related to a neurological issue, and it’s important to consult a neurologist who can help diagnose the cause and suggest proper treatment. Don’t worry, with the right medical guidance, you can improve and feel better.

I have been diagnosed with IIH. Could I work in a hospital with equipment that use electromagnetic radiation in the future if I get a shunt placement ? Will it affect my shunt valve settings?
Female | 27
Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension (IIH) can cause headaches and vision problems due to increased pressure around the brain. One common treatment is shunt placement, a tube that drains excess fluid. Working with radiation equipment in a hospital is unlikely to affect your shunt, as shunt valves are not impacted by electromagnetic radiation.

Rabies, a viral disease, spreads through infected animal bites. Common symptoms start with fever, headaches, and fatigue. As it progresses, confusion and swallowing difficulties arise. Preventive vaccination before potential exposure is crucial. If bitten, wash the wound thoroughly and seek medical attention immediately.

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.
