Reputed neurosurgeons recommend waiting for at least one month after a mini-stroke and then resume driving for better brain healing. For massive strokes, the wait is longer. 

 

But in either case, it is advisable to first obtain your doctor’s consent before driving again.

I misread numbers a lot, for example I had to do an essay of 2000 words I clearly saw 2000 but days later I heard it was 1000 and I went to check it again and it was seriously 1000. And whenever I see on my laptop huge paragraphs all over my screen, my eyes feel weird like I cant focus or something. Is it normal?

Female | 19

You could have an e­ye issue called asthe­nopia. It happens when your eye­s get tired from reading words or scre­ens for too long. Some reasons are­ looking at screens for hours or using the wrong glasse­s. To help, take breaks ofte­n, adjust the lighting, and maybe get an e­ye exam for new glasse­s.

Prostrate gland enlargement treatment

Male | 63

Prostate gland enlargement treatment depends on the severity of symptoms and whether or not a person is generally healthy. Mild cases can be treated with lifestyle changes and medications, while severe cases may need to undergo surgery. A health professional should be sought for proper evaluation and treatment.

I’m a 26 year old female who is a diagnosed epileptic. I have been taking 200mg of lamotrigine since January. However I’m still having frequent seizures and cluster seizures so I’m looking to see if I could get an additional medication prescribed alongside the lamotrigine to support my symptoms and gain more control over my seizures.

Female | 26

It’s important to tell a neurologist about those symptoms again. Sometimes taking another medicine such as levetiracetam or valproate can help to bring seizures under control. These drugs act in different ways to help lower the chances of having a seizure. Your doctor will be able to advise you better on what treatment plan will suit you most appropriately.

I have diagnosed epilepsy, and I currently take 200mg of lamotrigine. I am still experiencing frequent seizures and also cluster seizures. I would like to discuss if I would have any options to add another medication alongside lamotrigine to try and control my seizures.

Female | 26

You’re still having seizures despite taking lamotrigine. It’s a medication commonly used for epilepsy. When seizures continue, adding another medication may help control them. Your doctor may suggest options such as levetiracetam or valproic acid. These medicines work in different ways to prevent seizures. Discuss with your doctor to find the best option for you.
