Answered on 20th Aug '24
An intermediate risk for Down syndrome in a double marker test means that there is a moderate chance the baby will have this condition. Down syndrome is a genetic condition that gives a person a physical, and mental delay. Symptoms can include lack of muscle strength, eyes that are slightly tilted, and slow development. More tests and counseling can be done with a doctor for more information and guidance.

Have been having constant headaches for weeks now. Especially when I wake up in the morning. The headache is one the two sides of my head, most time one sided, most time all around my head or forehead. The headache gets worse when I sleep and wake up and in the evening before bed. I feel my head pounding.
Female | 27
Experiencing constant headaches for weeks, particularly upon waking up, with pain on one or both sides of the head, forehead, and sometimes all around the head, could be due to tension headaches, migraines, cluster headaches, sinusitis, sleep related issues, neck problems, or dehydration. Since it is severe please consult a neurologist or headache specialist in your locality.

Experiencing more severe post-seizure symptoms is concerning. It's advisable to consult with a neurologist or epilepsy specialist to evaluate your condition and determine if any adjustments to your medication regimen or treatment plan are necessary. Communicate changes in symptoms with your doctor.

It has been 2.5 years and she is 40 years old.
Female | 40
The symptoms you described, such as stiffness, trouble speaking, cold hands and feet, and epilepsy say serious things to me. With her previous medical records including heart failure, kidney damage, and extreme variations, this may be a life-threatening issue. It is of utmost importance for her to get appropriate attention as soon as possible to receive the right treatment and the right care for her. The doctors may need to deal with the heart, kidney, and neurological issues together to make your mother feel better.

Male | 22
The causes of these types of headaches are lack of adequate sleep, stress, dehydration, or even certain foods. To ease the pain, you may make sure you drink enough water, have proper sleep, do not allow stress to take over, and stay away from trigger foods. If the symptoms persist, it is good to visit a doctor

Male | 23
You appear to have a sinus infection. Infected sinuses cause face pain, often one-sided, and headaches. Other signs include stuffy/runny nose, coughing, and fatigue. Warm compresses, hydration, and OTC pain meds may help. However, if symptoms persist or worsen, see a neurologist.

When I press my head backside (the place where it was hit when I fell)... It's bleeding from nose... And we took a CT scan they told there's nothing on it... But now it's strted to bleeding on ears and then the eyes on the side where it was hit
Male | 16
It sounds like you are experiencing some serious symptoms, even though your CT scan showed no abnormalities. Bleeding from the nose, ears, and eyes after a head injury can be concerning and should be taken seriously. I strongly recommend that you visit a neurologist or an ENT specialist as soon as possible for a thorough examination and proper treatment. They will be able to assess your condition more accurately and provide the necessary care.

I’m an 18 year old female who has had temporal pain for around 10 years now. I have tried paracetamol but it doesn’t work. I’ve been to the doctors countless times and they say everything is fine. Sometimes my jaw hurts, also i have had decreased hearing. It hurts more when i press the inner part of the ear and when i move it. What should i do?
Female | 18
From your description of symptoms like jaw pain and reduced hearing, it can be pointed to temporomandibular joint disorder (TMD) as a probable cause of the problem. TMD can be the jaw joint and surrounding muscles, which are sore and stiffer than before. Also, one may notice some symptoms like ear pain and changes in hearing. Seek advice from a dentist who will check you up thoroughly and prescribe you the needed therapies. The dentist can create a successful plan for handling your symptoms.

I am 31 year old. I feel stress at night or bad light. My organ feel numless when it experience in dark. I cannot use my cell phone or laptop. When I use these at night my complete body feel numless. Some time I feel some sort of unconscious... I also experiencing premature white hair which is happening more rapidly these days. I also face some kind of depression
Male | 31
Struggling with stress and body numbness at night, especially after using screens like phones or laptops? Digital eye strain could be the cause, leading to headaches, eye discomfort, and trouble focusing. To ease the symptoms, take regular screen breaks, dim the room lights, and try relaxation techniques. If you're also dealing with premature gray hair or depression, stress may be playing a role. Improving your diet, staying active, and getting enough sleep can help boost your overall health. If these symptoms persist, see a neurologist.

Female | 22
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. In the meantime, try to eat regular meals, manage stress, and get plenty of rest.

I'm 21 years old and I take the 2 capsule of the vitamin e 400g and I didn't sleep well and my brain is too much heavy
Male | 21
Seems that insomnia and the sensation that your brain is heavy might have appeared after you consumed two 400mg Vitamin E capsules. The reason is that Vitamin E overdose suppresses the nervous system and symptoms like insomnia which may be accompanied by feelings of confusion. Get enough hydration, eat well, and stay away from Vitamin E.

Patient got fever at first, in local hospital it was diagnosed as typhoid and she took treatment for 2 weeks then she was feeling good . Then after 3 days she again started vomiting and not able to drink aswell , so she was admitted to city hospital but nothing happened , they suggested neurologist visit. The neurologist did MRI and meanwhile she was loosing her eye sight gradually . Neurologist suggested to immediately move to bigger hospital , on the same night patient was admitted to jipmer multi-speciality hospital (Govt owned). From then last 25 days they are doing multiple tests for MS, NMOSD, AUTOIMMUNE, SPINAL ,EYE ,BLOOD,MRI. But all the reports are coming as negative nothing is diagnosed, meanwhile they are providing treatment like plasma therapy and patient totally lost vision, speech, mobility. Not sure what to do , can someone help us with further directions.
Female | 21
The person who lost vision, speech, and mobility is not positive news. Given the negative reports so far, it's clear that we have other plans in mind. Rare conditions also are a factor that needs to be considered. This included Acute Disseminated Encephalomyelitis (ADEM) or any other rare unknown, and often under-reported neurological disorders that might be the cause of these symptoms. Discuss these issues with a neurologist for the best treatment.
