Is abnormal MRI a concern if EEG is normal?
Right basifrontal region focal encephalomalacia is seen measuring 3x2 cm (H/O prior trauma). MRI report is abnormal but my EEG test is normal
Neurosurgeon
Answered on 29th July '24
You feel uneasy because of the MRI report that shows a spot in your brain. It may have been caused by a past injury. Encephalomalacia is the condition when brain tissue is damaged and can be of various types such as headaches or memory problems. The good news is that your brain's electrical activity seems okay. You only have to do two things: first of all, watch out for any new symptoms that may come up and report them to your neurologist.

Your concentration, memory, and cognitive functions are showing ominous symptoms of worry. Thus, it is likely that they are caused by stress, unhealthy lifestyles, sleep deprivation, and poor diet. Eating, sleeping, exercising, and managing stress should become a priority if you wish to enhance your brain function. You could also consider speaking with a psychiatrist or counselor for support. Implementing these interventions can enable you to control your brain operation as well as enhance your general well-being.

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.

Restless legs, slurred speech, confusion, different facial expressions, and constipation are sometimes the adverse effects of these medications. Moreover, these drugs can aggravate these symptoms in Parkinson's disease patients.

Female | 19
You are experiencing multiple serious symptoms, including chest discomfort, depression, anxiety, and other physical issues like pain in your face, jaw, and throat. Antidepressants should help, but if they are making things worse, you should immediately consult a psychiatrist for a review of your medications. Also, for your chest pain and physical discomfort, you may need to see a neurologist and possibly a gastroenterologist for further evaluation.

I feel liquid in head when i move my head and i feel muscle streaching inside of my head when i move my head
Male | 37
When there is liquid talking in your ear or you hear that whooshing sound when you move your head it might be due to the fluid in your inner ear. the canals of your inner ear might have shifted. This occurs because the balance mechanism in your ear has been tampered. A feeling like stretching could be due to the tension that has grown inside the neck muscles. Try using gentle neck exercises as well as relaxation exercises and when these sensations linger, seek medical assistance.

I am 28 years old male. I am having severe throbbing headache on the sides of the head as well as on the eyes. I also have swelling on my eyelids. i have extreme headache when i bend down or sneeze/cough. I also have nausea and vomited x3-4 times today
Male | 28
It may sound like you have a condition known as sinusitis. Sinuses get inflamed when spaces around the nose are filled with too much mucus due to colds, flu, allergies, or other conditions. This can lead to pain in your head especially when you lean forward or cough/sneeze; it also causes swelling in the eyes, nausea, and vomiting. To feel better try using warm packs on your face and take pain relievers that can be bought over the counter. Keep yourself well hydrated and rest enough too. In case these signs don't go away, you should see a doctor who will check them out further and treat them accordingly.

Male | 21
The red skin, tingling, pain, and nerve issues could be from too many bad molecules in your body. These bad molecules can hurt cells. To help stop the bad molecules, eat more fruits and veggies. Also, talk to your doctor about helper pills that may stop these issues from the bad molecules.

I am 30 years old. I had anxiety for 4 months and nerve damage like sciatica pain for 2 months and lower abdominal back pain and upper front pain for 3 days, today it's getting worse.
Female | 30
The stress and nerve pain that you are experiencing might cause muscle tension which results in discomfort in various parts of your body. The stomach ache as well as the pain in the anterior part could be associated with heightened awareness in your nervous system. To alleviate these symptoms, it is important to deal with both anxiety and nerve issues. Try doing mild stretches, and deep breathing exercises or seek help from healthcare providers who know how to manage such conditions.

Female | 26
Having symptoms like muscle twitches, tingling in your hands and feet, leg weakness, ankle pain, and difficulty speaking could indicate a nerve disorder. Abnormal EMG and NCS test results suggest nerve problems, possibly due to conditions like peripheral neuropathy or nerve injury. It's important to follow up with your doctor for further tests and treatment, which may include specialized tests, medications, or physical therapy, depending on the cause.

Headache, shrinking of hands and legs, foaming at the mouth
Male | 35-40
Severe head pain which radiates to the neck with stiffening neck and the legs and foaming at the mouth are potential symptoms that can be addressed as epilepsy. Epilepsy is a disorder of the brain characterized by the occurrence of abnormal electrical activity, sending inappropriate signals through the nervous system. It is of course injuriously crucial to make it the first choice to see a specialist doctor in case of these symptoms. The common method for the treatment of epilepsy is drug use for control of the seizure and prevention of a future occurrence.

Actually after sneezing after few seconds I am unable to stand and my body is not responding and I am not able to move my hands and legs.
Male | 20
You might have something we call a vasovagal syncope. Some of your blood flow may change for a short time when you sneeze this is what causes the feeling of faintness and may interfere with your ability to move your hands and legs for a while. Try sitting down or lying if you feel like sneezing. Also, make sure to drink enough water and have sufficient rest always. If it happens frequently or becomes more severe, see a doctor.

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.

You are having stress and anxiety symptoms. Stress can result in poorer memory, anxiety, and distorted reality. Fatigue, perpetual gloom, and delusion are also possible indicators of stress. To feel better, engage yourself in some calming activities such as breathing deeply, speaking with someone you trust, or doing something you like, such as listening to music or taking a walk.

I had also a strong headace in the parietal region like a needle punture in pain but not that small from time to time. I took some painkillers but now I wake up everyday with a headace in the right half of my head it goes till the forehead it goes away when I eat but I still have during the day the painful parietal headace and I saw a worsening of my memory .What should I do ?

See a neurologist for your headaches, which may be due to migraine, temporal arteritis, trigeminal neuralgia, sleep deprivation, or medication use.
