If you have been having headaches for the past four days it is essential to visit a doctor. I will suggest booking an appointment with a neurologist whose expertise lies in this area of medicine to get a diagnosis and treatment.

Hello! I was diagnosed with OCD a while ago, and one of the compulsions to certain thoughts was to hold my breath for time. It all started from here. I entered medicine, I am passionate about the field and I was always a 10th grade student. My question is if my brain was affected, if there was any cerebral hypoxia. There were times when I held my breath for quite long periods (until I felt that I had to do it), other times when I was not breathing enough and had that feeling of suffocation (the biggest fear here is, I don't know exactly how much). I had a native brain MRI, 1.5 tesla, nothing negative came out. However, on a micro level, was my cognition, my intelligence, my memory affected? The SpO2 value is 98-99% now, should I go to a doctor? I haven't slept much in my life, I always stay up at night to study and I wonder if my brain is more sensitive to such things, also I was born prematurely. I had read on the Internet that people can get hypoxia and not see it on an MRI, that really panicked me. I'm starting college in a week and I'm constantly thinking about this. If I'm going to forget certain details, I won't remember certain things, I'll always think it's because my brain was damaged, not that it's normal not to remember everything. I managed to overcome these compulsions. But I think that there are no after-effects on the brain. What do you recommend? I am very panicked that I might have hurt myself because of some senseless compulsions. I don't feel myself anymore, after reading or many things on the Internet. Is there anything to do?

Holding your breath for a long time can sometimes make you dizzy or suffocate, nevertheless, it is improbable for you to suffer from a permanent brain injury. Your brain which requires oxygen is doing well because you have been receiving good oxygen levels. If you're feeling worried, try some relaxation techniques like deep breathing or talking to someone you trust.

Muje ratko nid nhi aati hai Pesle 2 3 chal se Muje kuch acha nhi lagata Me subhe me irritated feel karta hu

It seems like you are having problems with falling asleep at night. Some common signs of insomnia are difficulty in sleeping, feeling exhausted during the day, and not being interested in things. It can result from stress, a harmful lifestyle, or some other reasons. Try to keep your room dark, stay away from screens before sleeping, and come up with a relaxing bedtime routine that will help you sleep better.

Male | 45

The most common reasons for this are stress, lack of sleep, and eye strain. Try to relax, get enough sleep, and consider using cold packs on your forehead. If it doesn’t improve, it’s best to see a doctor for further evaluation.

Hello, Dr. Meri mummy ko neck ke right side nerves khicti h aur usme pain hota h uski bajha se kan mai bhi bharipan rehta h headache bhi hota h kabhi kabhi aur neck ki jo beauty bone hoti h vo bhi ful gyi h right side ki aur weight bhi loss hota ja rha h but kya dikjat h ye nhi pta chal rha h bahot se doctor ko dikhya

Female | 41

These symptoms together with unintentional loss of weight are worrisome. This could happen for many reasons including pulled muscles or problems with the cervical spine but it could also be something more serious so I would advise seeking medical attention soon so you can find out what is wrong before starting any treatment plan.

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.

Hellp! I am someone with MS. I have very low vitamin D levels and have had that flr a while. I an currently experiencing pain in my left leg. In both knee and thigh. I have pain and can not stand on it as usual. It is the second time in less than 2 weeks (my knee, first time)

Female | 25

Lack of vitamin D levels in the case of multiple sclerosis patients may be responsible for muscle pain on some occasions. You should be getting enough vitamin D from sunlight or a supplement of vitamin D. Besides that, you can try to make the tension loosen or apply a warm compress to stop the pain. If the pain continues, go to a doctor to get professional advice.

I hear a whistling sound in my ears. I think I have a disease called tinnitus. Please tell me some medicine to cure this disease.

Male | 24

Tinnitus is not a disease but rather a symptom of something else. It may be due to circumstances such as exposure to loud noises, ear infections, or even stress. Unfortunately, no medication is specifically designed to cure tinnitus. Nevertheless, coping with stress, limiting exposure to loud sounds, and applying sound therapy can reduce the symptoms.

I am 14 years old and I am suffering from bells palsy I am asking you that is cancelled I smoke vape in bells palsy recovery

Male | 14

Bell’s palsy is a condition where facial muscles on one side of the face are not functioning properly, thus causing the affected part to droop. Smoking or vaping can make your recovery take longer. These kinds of practices can be a good reason to avoid them when you are sick because more time your body requires to recover.

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.
