Why Am I Experiencing Memory Loss After Head Injury?
My uncle met with an accident few days ago . He had a head injury. After few days he had lost his memory and also behaving aggressively
Neurosurgeon
Answered on 11th Nov '24
Your uncle may suffer from a disorder known as Post-Traumatic Amnesia (PTA) after an injury to the head. Memory loss and aggressive behavior are pervasive symptoms. It is because the main point gets violated, hence, it can be the cause of behavioral changes. Rest, avoiding stress, and patience are necessary for your uncle's recovery.

Can epilepsy go away in time and a person with it no longer have that disease?
Female | 42
Epilepsy is when a person has recurrent seizures. Sometimes this goes away on its own, especially in kids. Symptoms can range from convulsions or strange feelings to staring spells. Causes may be genetic or related to head injuries. Treatment usually includes medication but may involve surgery as well. Be sure to discuss ways of dealing with it with a neurologist.

I received 2 punches in the head a year and a half ago, is this the cause of the recurring headaches that I have to this day or does it have nothing to do with it?
Female | 23
Getting hit in the head can trigger headaches. Repeated blows may cause recurring head pain. Symptoms like head discomfort, light sensitivity, sound bothering you, and nausea might happen. It's wise to visit a neurologist, who'll guide managing these headaches properly.

My mother is almost 50 and since 4-5 months her half side of face suddenly pulls to one side like paralysed and after some time it gets normal but now it is occurring more often.
Female | 49
Being a condition named Bell's Palsy, your mother may go through it. It is a thing that happens because of the inflammation of the facial nerve. Medication and exercises that strengthen the muscles can be included in the treatment. You should visit a neurologist for a proper diagnosis and a plan of treatment.

Female | 39
It’s important to understand that post-concussion symptoms can sometimes be complex and vary from person to person. Your nosebleed might be unrelated, but it could also be linked to stress or changes in your body after the concussion. I strongly recommend seeing a neurologist or an ENT specialist for a proper evaluation and guidance for your symptoms.

I am a 35 year old woman. Recently gave birth through c-section on the 3rd of October. 4or 5 days after being discharged from hospital my legs inflamed, then after 2 days they got ok, then I started to have a tingling sensation on my right leg and arm. This passed after some days when I was taking some multi vitamins and returned agai n. Now the intensity of the tingling sensation had reduced bt it was irritating. Should I be worried?
Female | 35
You may be experiencing some postpartum complications. The tingling sensation in your right leg and arm could be because the nerves in the area have been compressed by the way you are sitting or lying down. Although the severity of pain is decreasing, note that you should bring this to the attention of a neurologist to exclude any dangerous problems. Don't forget to stay hydrated and try to move around from time to time.

Good day doctor Since childhood, I have always been pressing on my nerves and muscles throughout my body, and I can't control myself. It's like grinding teeth, but in my body, and it's voluntary. These are not spasms; I do them, but I can't stop them. When I try to stop myself, I feel like I'm going to explode. The issue was minor in childhood and significantly reduced during adolescence almost to the point of disappearing. However, over the past few years, the problem has worsened significantly. Currently, I'm squeezing my body's vertebrae, especially my neck, and I feel like it's twisting. I consulted a psychiatrist and neurologist who said there is no organic issue, just a bit of anxiety. I took medications for anxiety and stress, but there was no effect. Thank you very much for your time
Male | 34
The nature of your symptoms probably is involuntary muscle contractions or muscle spasms. It is necessary to have the condition assessed by a neurologist who specializes in movement disorders or a physiotherapist who will be able to look at your condition in person and guide you properly.

I have recently been experiencing heavy memory loss (ex. unable to remember names, forgetting how to do tasks, driving unknown places). I have an appointment but I'm unsure whether I should go to urgent care for this instead or not.
Female | 18
Forgetting names and tasks can be a worrisome problem. This can be due to various reasons like stress, sleep problems, or medical issues. It is commendable that you are thinking about your alternatives. Since memory loss affects everyday life, see a neurologist as soon as possible. They can be the ones to help identify the cause and recommend the necessary steps to enhance your memory.

I've been suffering from chronic headaches for nearly 10 years, and I've been taking Vasograin daily to manage the pain. If I don't take the medicine, the headache starts again, and it happens every day.Why is it happening ?
Female | 38
You are possibly having a kind of headache referred to as a "medication overuse headache." The condition may arise if you are too dependent on medications such as Vasograin which brings about pain relief. The medicine is responsible for daily headaches that return if not taken. The method is to use Vasograin less frequently and under medical supervision. This way, the cycle of overuse will be interrupted, and the treatment of your headaches will be more efficient.

I am 21 year old female and I have been feeling my legs and hands go numb quite often in a day. I have also started doing yoga recently if this concerns and 2-3 months back I got my blood tests done and found out vitamin B12 level to be low. Also this whole covidshield causing blood clots scare me.
Female | 21
Hey, it looks like your legs and hands are getting numb, which could mean your vitamin B12 levels are low. This happens when there isn’t enough B12 to keep your nerves functioning properly. Yoga is great but won’t do it all by itself. Make sure to eat foods like meat, fish and dairy that have lots of B12 in them. Talk to a doctor about checking out your levels of B12 if you haven’t already.

Hello. I am a male about to marry a 23 y/o female who at the age of 19 was diagnosed with Focal Epilepsy Affecting Frontal Lobe. I am trying to see whether it is a good idea to marry and start a family with this girl. The problem is her head and eyes move to the right when she has an episode which is usually triggered by eye contact and nervousness. So her neurologist perscribed Lacosamide twice a day which she says has prevented her from having an episode in over a year, but I want to check with you if this is true/common? Also will her illness get worse later down the line especially when we start having kids? Will it spread to other parts of the brain and what will happen if that occurs? She says the side effects of the medicine is she gets drowsy and sleepy sometimes, how often does that last? Thank you.
Female | 23
While Lacosamide can effectively prevent epilepsy episodes, its side effects like drowsiness are common. It's advisable to consult with a neurologist regarding the long-term effects of epilepsy and its potential impact on family planning. Specialists like neurologists can provide personalized guidance based on individual health conditions.

It's essential to consult a neurologist, as these symptoms may be related to underlying neurological or circulatory issues.

Male | 27
Many people feel sudden warmth, called hot flashes. These happen frequently for women, but men can get them too. Hormonal changes or reactions cause hot flashes. Stress, caffeine, or alcohol may trigger them. Staying cool, avoiding spicy foods, and relaxing can help manage hot flashes. If they continues being problematic, speak to your doctor.

I’ve been Dey for over 6months and today I woke up to see that I bed wet
Male | 18
Bedwetting, also called nighttime enuresis, happens when urine is released during sleep. It can be caused by factors like a small bladder, deep sleep, or stress. While it's common in kids, some adults experience it too. To help, limit fluids before bed, use the bathroom before sleeping, and try a bathroom alarm. If it continues, consult a doctor for more solutions.

I'm having tingling and burning sensation in my right wrist and hand and i can't feel anything at all and I need a diagnosis
Female | 27
You could have carpal tunnel syndrome. It occurs when a nerve in your wrist gets compressed. Symptoms include tingling, burning, numbness. Repeatedly using your hand, like typing extensively, may cause it. Try resting your hand, wearing a brace, and doing hand exercises. If it persists, consult an orhopedist.

Male | 30
You seem to suffer from chronic insomnia and tension headaches. Your heart can actively start to beat in your head, heart, or hands during the panic attacks. The lack of sleep that causes the symptoms gets even worse daily. Among them, which can be triggered by stress, insomnia, and bad habits in sleeping. Create a bedtime routine, restrict caffeine, and screen time before bed, and practice deep breathing percussions. Physical activity and counseling can also be amongst the manners to receive further benefits.

I have a severe headache that worsens with movement. It’s felt through out my head however there are pressure points where it’s felt more intensely which are at the back of the skull and near to my temples. I have a low grade fever. Blood in mucus when I blow my nose. When I swallow my throat hurts and it strikes up my head. I am taking Augmentin Zyrtec and ibruprofen and symptoms are relieved until a couple hours before my next dose at the same severity. My skin is tender to touch and everything feels cold. Pain felt in my back and joints.
Female | 21
It sounds like you could be dealing with a sinus infection or a viral illness. The headache, pressure points, fever, sore throat, and body aches indicate an infection. Since you're already on medication but still experiencing severe symptoms, it's best to visit an ENT specialist. They can properly examine your symptoms and adjust treatment if needed.
