Dizziness for a long time.
Female | 77
Polonged dizziness requires attention. Causes range from inner ear issues to low blood sugar levels. Anxiety and dehydration can also trigger dizziness episodes. However, sometimes it signals a bigger health concern. If dizziness plagues you frequently, see a neurologist. They'll investigate and recommend proper treatment. Meanwhile, take precautions to avoid falls or injuries.

Sir I have had two foot foot drop for the last few years, let me know the solution
Male | 42
The best solution for foot drop is usually an AFO (ankle-foot orthosis) brace. This brace helps to keep the ankle in the correct position and supports the foot, allowing you to lift it more easily. Your doctor may also recommend physical therapy or other treatments, such as electrical stimulation or surgery, to help strengthen and improve the function of the muscles in your foot and ankle.

I tend to jump to worse case scenario but I recently got diagnosed with vertigo caused by middle ear fluid and recently it’s came back since where I am the weather has gotten worse and my vision is kind of blurry sometimes and I have a hard time focusing on someone when they are talking how likely is it that this is being caused by a brain tumor and not the middle ear vertigo or am I just completely over thinking this
Female | 21
The blurry vision and the difficulty in focusing can be the vertigo that the ear fluid causes. It is common and it does not mean that you have a brain tumor. The ear fluid can mess up your balance and vision. Usually, it gets better on its own, but you might need medicine or special exercises if the problem keeps bothering you.

My grandfather age is 69 he had second brain strike and he unable to eat and speak but after 3 month now he able to speak slow slow and today he got anger and eat food by himself without asked anyone after I asked him is any problem to swallow food he said no problem and easy to swallow so please doctor suggest me can we start giving him food by mouth
Male | 69
The symptoms of difficulty eating and speaking are the general ones that occur after a brain stroke. It may be attributed to the muscles used for swallowing being weak. Seeing that he mentioned no problem swallowing and eating by himself, you can slowly start to give him food by mouth. Begin with soft, easy-to-swallow foods and keep track of his progress. Do not forget to communicate with his healthcare team along the way.

Hy. More than one month ago during shower I have washed my anus and ( probabile also my colon). I have removed the shower head and i have put the nozzle into my ass...like 3 or 4 times. Like 10 minutes later started a flash stabbing pain in my left big toe. Next days better little bit after i have niumbness, flashing sometimes prickling and tingling in my legs and arms. In this moment I have burning in my all upper body. ( in my back and arms burn , hot.) I don't have fever! So probabile I have neuropathy ( polyneuropathy) symptoms. My question is the anal douching it could have been caused this symptoms ? Or it's caused by something else?? I am 28 years old. I don't have other sickness. Sorry for my english.
Male | 28
Dependent on the symptoms given, it’s unlikely that anal douching causes your neuropathy symptoms. Neuropathy mostly comes from related factors such as diabetes or nerve injury neuropathy. For a proper diagnosis and treatment plan, see a neurologist. Meanwhile, avoid inserting anything into your anus and focus on staying healthy generally.

Is there any treatment for optical nerve injury vision loss
Male | 32
The optic nerve is crucial for the eyes to send signals to the brain for clear vision. Blurred sight, color vision loss, and even blindness can occur. Causes include head trauma, inflammation, glaucoma, and other diseases. Sadly, damaged optic nerves can't fully heal. But treating root causes and eye care may stop further harm. Seeing an eye doctor regularly helps manage vision changes, and keeps eyes healthy.

If a 7 year old kid has a head injury what tests are done to diagnose his injury?
Female | 65
When a 7 year old experiences a head injury, several tests may be conducted to diagnose the injury..but again it depends on how severe the injury is. Physical examination may be adviced to assess symptoms and neurological function, imaging tests like CT scans or MRIs to identify bleeding or abnormalities in the brain, X-rays to check for skull fractures, and blood tests to evaluate various factors

My wife has been recently diagnosed by one of neurologist a retinal migraine issue, she faces migraines headache in 2 or 3 months once only. Now the doctor has suggested few medicines which I think is affecting her mental health. She is prescribed with propranolol 25mg daily twice, topiramate 20 mg daily twice Due to this she always feel sleepy, dizziness, harsh behaviours, mood swings, lack of appetite, lack of focus, lack of confidence, feels awkward cannot stay awake, cannot use mobile for long time, headache affects her head daily in the evening mostly. She is using these medicine since two weeks, before she doesn't have these issue. She only had a migraine and she once had a spot in her right eye which goes after a week. But she has a small lump behind her ear which doctor mentioned it as a swellon nerve. Kindly please suggest is she getting correct treatment because her Condition is getting worse day by day in terms of mental health. She has a family history of migraine her mother and sisters.
Female | 34
Propranolol and topiramate sometimes result in symptoms such as drowsiness, lightheadedness, mood changes, and an inability to concentrate. You or she must discuss this with the neurologist who prescribed these drugs because they could fix this issue by adjusting dosages or prescribing different medications that would be effective against migraines without affecting mental stability. If the lump located at the back of her ear is not yet diagnosed then it should also get checked into by the doctor to find out if there might be any connection with other signs.

My brother is of 22 yrs old and doc says that he has brain tumour from childhood and has swelling too doc said to get him operated
Male | 22
If the brain tumor and swelling are diagnosed, you should follow the doctor’s advice, schedule surgery, and take herbal remedies that reduce brain swelling. Brain tumors may be malignant at one end of the spectrum and benign at the other, so you must seek the guidance of a neurologist who concentrates on this field.

I recommend taking the medication as prescribed to you by your doctor. But if you experience any side effects from it or want to go for some other treatment, you can talk to your neurologist. He will suggest some other treatments based on your condition like lifestyle changes, CBT or acupuncture etc. Also, follow-ups is must.

My father is having blood clot in his brain. Which was recently found . He took medication for the same through drips for 5 days . Its been 20 days or more now he says that he feel numbness in hand and feel headache similar to the ache during the cold. And also he feel dizzy sometimes . Is this a normal symptoms of the brain blood clot or an serious issue?
Male | 54
\When a blood clot forms in the brain, numbness in the hand, headache, and dizziness could be worrying. The brain may be deprived of blood supply or there could be pressure on it due to these signs. Make sure he sees a neurologist again because these new symptoms might require more treatment or assessment.

Female | 51
Your mom might have suffered a brain injury. This occurs due to falls, accidents, or any sudden head impact. Headaches, dizziness, confusion, and memory issues are common signs. Resting the brain and avoiding strenuous activities are crucial. If symptoms worsen rapidly, seek urgent medical help from a neurologist for proper diagnosis and treatment without delay.

I am a 23 year old female who has been having headaches since I've given birth but still no changes of it going away even If I use painkillers. I'm alsohaving chest pain and throat pain for two weeks now, what should I do?
Female | 23
It is quite normal to experience headaches due to hormonal changes and lack of sleep after childbirth. However, headache shooting coupled with chest and throat pain should not be ignored. It is essential to eliminate the fear of serious conditions, such as postpartum preeclampsia or infections. You should go for a medical evaluation as soon as possible to find out the cause and the right treatment.

I experienced a fall from a chair backward and received a blow to the back right side of my head, behind the ears. There's a small swelling, but it's entirely painless, with no accompanying symptoms such as vomiting, headache, nausea, or confusion. It's been 40 days, and the swelling persists without any pain. What course of action would you recommend I take?
Male | 20
It's good that you don't have severe symptoms like headache, nausea, or confusion. However, since the swelling has persisted for 40 days, it's important to get it checked. I recommend visiting a neurologist to ensure there are no underlying issues.

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.
