Asked for Male | 65 Years

Recently my father diagnosed with diffused cerebral autrophy with chronic microangiopathic changes involving deep hemispheric white matter (fazekas Grade 2 white matter hyperintensities) Kindly suggest what to do ?

Neurology

Answered by Dr. Sayalee Karve

Currently there is no specific treatment for managing white matter lesions/hyperintensities. The goal is to treat the reason of the damage and cease the progression and worsening of the disease.
Depending on the reason of damage, the doctor will start you on blood pressure lowering or cholesterol lowering medicines.
In case you have a social habit such as smoking, then it is suggested to quit smoking at the earliest for preventing any further damage.
Consult a neurologist for further treatment.

April 12,2023 I was showering when I finish I heard a sound in my head like pipes falling. Then I notice I couldn't hear in my left ear and I started hear a loud buzzing sound. This was a weekend and I couldn't see my doctor until Monday. He had me take a ct scan to rule out a stroke. I then was given a referral to see an ENT . I was told by the ENT that I was deaf in my left ear and a hearing aid wouldn't help me and come back in a month. I became so angry with this person because he didn't care about my health issue. I feel like I am on this journey alone. Through my research, I found there is no cure for sudden hearing loss. However it appears stem cells offer promise for a cure. When do you think there may be a cure or which country is ahead of the curve for a cure.

Male | 76

Sudden hearing loss, like what you've described, is known as sudden sensorineural hearing loss. Common symptoms include hearing a loud buzzing sound and feeling as though your ear is blocked. The exact cause isn't always clear, but it may be related to infections or blood circulation issues in the ear. While there is no known cure, researchers in countries like Japan are exploring stem cell treatments as a potential future option. It's important to prioritize your health and stay in regular contact with your doctor.

Male | 27

It seems you might have a health issue called peripheral neuropathy. This makes nerves send wrong signals to the brain. It makes feet and palms feel burning pains. It also hurts legs calves and muscles. This happens from diabetes, nutrition problems, or infections. To feel better, see a neurologist. They will find out what causes it. They might give meds, physical therapy, or life changes.

Sleep disturbances can often lead to excessive daytime drowsiness, impacting your daily activities. Factors such as stress, anxiety, irregular sleep patterns, or underlying health issues might contribute to this. To improve sleep quality, consider establishing a consistent bedtime routine, creating a calm sleep environment, and practicing relaxation techniques before bed. Regular exercise and a balanced diet can also support better rest. If these strategies do not help or if you continue experiencing difficulties, it would be wise to consult a neurologist for a thorough evaluation and personalized recommendations.

Cerebral atrophy impairs the patient\'s coordination to the extent that he/she loses the touch to walk and speak, and the manual dexterity needed to carry out simple tasks. The condition is demonstrated when the brain cells are gradually losing their size. The medication prescriptions your mother is taking might only produce short-term benefits, you must carry out the consultations with the responsible neurologists who are in charge of her health.

Your phenotypes of headaches, gum pain, fear of death, panic attacks, stomach problems, and headaches after eating could be connected. You could have a condition like migraines, anxiety, or a digestive issue. Get a doctor's opinion for the right diagnosis and treatment.

Male | 53

You can continue medicine as prescribed by your doctor but not to rely on just that. Mostly, surgery happens to be the commonest method to treat this life threatening condition. I suggest to get a second opinion from another neurosurgeon and discuss your case to get specific treatment advice for your situation.

Male | 46

You described symptoms like one-sided headaches, tingling legs, a bulging spinal disk, facial pain, vision problems, neck and shoulder discomfort, exhaustion, sleep disturbances, constipation, dizziness, and mild fever. Multiple potential causes beyond MS must be evaluated. These might relate to spinal issues, nerve conditions, or other bodily ailments.

Your pain in the back and upper part of the head is a possible indication of tension headaches. These issues may originate from stress, sleep deprivation, and bad posture. Keep your shoulders down, sleep well, and straighten your back. If you experience persistent headaches, it is better to consult a neurologist.

You have tinnitus which is the ringing in the ear and you have chills with shivering too. Tinnitus is caused by many different things like loud noises or stress. The chills could be because of an infection. Get lots of rest, drink enough water, and if necessary go to a doctor for more help.

What happens if someone eats 6 pills of neurobion forte tablets.

Female | 37

Taking 6 neurobion forte pills in one go may seem harmless but actually can prove dangerous. It is possible for the person to experience stomach pain, vomiting, and dizziness after inhaling this drug. This is due to the body becoming overloaded with certain nutrients. In this case, you should drink a lot of water, rest, and consume light foods. It's crucial not to exceed the dosage prescribed by your doctor. If the situation worsens, get in touch with a doctor.

I'm from the country and all waste water accumulates in a septic tank. My parents don't usually call that truck home to dump the contents, they take care of it by dumping all the liquid in their own garden on a corn crop. Indeed, we do not actually eat the corn, but we do eat the rest of the nearby plants. But the birds they have, and from which we consume the eggs, consume some of that corn. I am very concerned about my physical health, especially my brain, and my fear is that I may have ingested substances from detergents/toothpaste over time, such as fluoride, which I know is neurotoxic, or other strong substances, etc. . . The usual analyzes always turned out fine for me. I drew their attention to these things and they told me that there are other people who do the same thing and apparently nothing happened. Should I worry/do something about it? I'm thinking that maybe those substances in the detergents and everything that gets there affect the nervous system, the brain. The plants in the garden show no signs of damage, probably because the detergents contain substances similar to fertilizers. Also, I'm wondering if from the feces, if some guest is infected with some parasite, and they then end up on the soil, can I also get them through the plants and affect components of my SN? Does all this accumulate in them? I can't stop eating food/eggs from home because I just started college, I have 6 more years until I can choose what and when to eat, have my own salary. I was thinking that for my own peace of mind, I would have a brain MRI this year to make sure everything is ok, as well as the usual urine test, which he can arrange for from the GP. Do you think it's okay?

Male | 18

While it's natural to worry, it's unlikely that the small amount of substances from detergents or toothpaste in the water would cause significant harm to your brain. Eating the food grown in the garden is generally safe, as plants can filter out harmful substances. It's encouraging to know that your health reports are okay. Getting a brain MRI and urine test for peace of mind is a proactive step, and it's okay to do.

I have this cold numbing sensation going down my left shin. Also, my left shin is colder to the touch then my right shin.

Female | 42

You could probably have a situation that is called peripheral neuropathy, something that has to do with the nerves that send signals to your leg and possibly there is a problem with that. This can be the reason why you feel the numbing sensation and the difference in temperature between your shins. It's best to have a neurologist check this out to determine the cause and talk about treatment options.

I’ve been having a lot of uncomfortable symptoms. After I’ve been sitting for a while, when I stand my lower leg feels numb and tingling. I don’t have a way to check my temperature but I’ve been feeling really hot & cold. I’m worried.

Female | 22

Nerves can get compressed if you sit still for too long. Such a condition makes you feel a tingling sensation when you stand up. If you experience the feeling of extreme heat and cold, then your body is probably unable to maintain its temperature. Try to stretch and exercise a bit more while sitting. Besides, drink enough water daily. If these symptoms persist, consult a neurologist for a more in-depth assessment.

Male | 27

It sounds like you might be experiencing a tension headache, which can occur from dehydration, lack of rest, or stress, especially after long hours of work. To alleviate discomfort, begin by drinking plenty of water and aim to take short breaks to relax. Try gentle stretches or a warm compress on your forehead. Ensure you're getting adequate sleep. If these measures do not improve your condition or if symptoms worsen, it would be wise to consult a neurologist to rule out any underlying issues.
