Answered on 4th Mar '25
Experiencing pressure in the back of your head, combined with leg weakness and mild dizziness, can be concerning but may stem from various causes such as tension, poor posture, or stress. These symptoms can also result from dehydration or fatigue. It's essential to stay hydrated and consider gentle stretching or relaxation techniques to alleviate tension. However, since symptoms like these can occasionally indicate more serious issues, I recommend visiting a neurologist for a thorough assessment. They can provide personalized advice and ensure your well-being.

Choroid plexuses cyst in left lateral ventricle
Female | 21
Choroid plexus cysts are fluid-filled sacs commonly found in the brain and often discovered during imaging studies. They usually do not cause any symptoms and are generally harmless. The exact reasons for their formation remain unclear, but they often resolve on their own over time. It's important to follow up with your neurologist, who may recommend regular monitoring through scans to ensure there are no changes.

Hello Sir, I have Andrealine rush problem, especially during morning hours. I used to take beta blockers for some other problem. They were very helpful in controlling andrealine rush and keeping mind relax. As I am not longer taking beta blockers can you suggest any alternative for andrealine rush problem. Thank you!
Male | 29
Stress, anxiety, or hormonal changes can cause hyperactivity. If beta-blockers aren’t available, practices like yoga, meditation, deep breathing, or light exercise can help. These methods calm both the mind and body, reducing adrenaline and promoting relaxation. For better results consult a neurologist.

What is the accurate treatment for cerebral atrophy @symptoms problem in walking, voice clarity,hand holding capacity nil
Female | 60
If a person have difficulties in walking, speaking clearly, and holding things, he/she may have cerebral atrophy. This happens when the brain cells decrease in size or numbers, and thus the communication of the neural network is disrupted. The solution for these symptoms is beneficial to both physical therapy for walking rehabilitation, speech therapy to correct the errors of speech, and occupational therapy for acquiring a stronger hand. It's crucial to work with a neurologist to design an accurate treatment plan.

Ensure you drink plenty of water and eat regular, balanced meals. Additionally, it is essential to cope with stress and sleep well. If the symptoms persist, it is advisable to get a check-up with a neurologist.

I am 27 year old female I take sertraline I need to take betahistine for vertigo but I am afraid to take it because I’m scared of serious side effects or getting Steven Johnson syndrome
Female | 27
I get what you’re saying about using Betahistine with Sertraline. Don’t worry, few people get severe side effects like Steven Johnson Syndrome from Betahistine. Some common side effects might be a headache or an upset stomach. When you’re suffering from vertigo, it feels like everything is spinning around you. Betahistine works by increasing the blood flow within the inner ear which can help with this. However, it’s best to speak with your doctor before taking any medication.

Vertigo is the sensation of perceiving that everything is moving without the body moving. Weakness and headaches may have various causes such as dehydration, stress, lack of sleep, or even certain medical conditions. Check that you are consuming enough water, sleeping enough, and relieving stress. If these symptoms continue, it is crucial to consult a neurologist for a proper diagnosis and treatment.

Have a pulsating headache on both sides of my head since a month
Female | 18
Steady throbbing in your head for a month straight is a real downer. That might mean tension headaches. Stress, no sleep, eyes straining too much - those things can cause them. Take breaks from computer screens. Relax your body and mind. Sleep enough hours each night. Pain relievers you can buy without a prescription might help. Drink lots of water, too. But if the headaches won't go away, you should visit a neurologist to get checked out properly.

Hello. On 14.12.2020, my brother had a brain hemorrhage in his left brain. He stayed in intensive care for 1 month. After leaving intensive care, he only received physical therapy support. Currently, his right arm is partially paralyzed and he has no speech ability. Do you think there is a method other than physical therapy that can be a permanent treatment? We cannot come for an examination because we do not live where you are. If you have such a method, we would like to consult and come to you. We would be very happy if you give feedback. enjoy your work
Male | 26
Following a brain hemorrhage, symptoms such as paralysis and speech difficulties can occur due to damage in specific brain areas. While physical therapy is essential for recovery, other methods like occupational therapy, speech therapy, or advanced rehabilitation techniques may also help improve function and communication. It's vital to consult with a neurologist to explore a personalized approach whether in-person or through telemedicine. Progress takes time and varies for each individual, so continuing therapy and support is crucial.

You might have an orthostatic headache. Standing up can cause brain fluid shifts, possibly leading to low blood pressure or dehydration. Make sure to stay hydrated, move slowly, and rest often. If the headache continues, see a neurologist.

My uncle is 67 years old with lung cancer and been in remission for a while. He suffers bad migraines. He was getting shots and nothing worked. He said he hit his head a couple times and developed a subdermal hematoma. He started throwing up and took him to er they transferred him to toledo hospital where they did burr holes and released blood from his brain. He is not recovering or answering any questions properly. Now he has air in the burrs. Last scan showed no air but blood has moved to the back of his head. They are giving fentanyl by IV and npo. 3 days not eating.He is confused and restrained. No communication with a doctor since after surgery We been here since Thursday He had his surgery friday. Should I take him somewhere else? His cancer is not killing him. These headaches from chemo and radiation after effects I believe.
Male | 67
The headache and confusion he is experiencing might be due to the hematoma, which is a blood clot in his brain. The air in the burr holes is concerning. The brain cannot tolerate excess blood, as it may cause problems. At least the pain medicine is helping him. His recovery process might be a bit lengthy. It's important to stay in constant communication with the doctors at the hospital.

Male | 15
The signs of your disease, such as immobility and the respiratory issues, imply the development of an autoimmune condition such as Guillain-Barre or myelitis. It's necessary to visit a specialist and get suitable drugs. If the domestic health institutions do not want to take that risk, you may go for care abroad where you can find special rehabilitation centers. Make sure to seek advice and assistance from the doctors who treat you as well as get any therapy you need.

Your conditions, Polio Residual Paralysis and cerebral vascular accident (stroke) would generally be categorized as "Multiple Disabilities" rather than "Locomotor Disability."

It's important to consult a medical professional for accurate classification.

Ive been facing tingling in hands and feet also having digestive issues since 1 week, had mild headache also. And now when I fall asleep, my whole body keeps shaking, gets normal, when I move little. Yesterday got my blood reports. I have 197 VIT B12 on ref level of 211-950(acc to lab). Therfore a deficiency. Also vast deficiency in VIT D. Is it all happening because of these deficiencies? Or any other reason?
Female | 19
Your symptoms suggest vitamin deficiencies. Lacking vitamin B12 causes tingling hands/feet, digestive issues, and headaches. Deficient vitamin D prompts shaky sleep sensations. These deficiencies likely cause your symptoms. To fix this, eat vitamin B12 and D-rich foods. Your doctor may also suggest supplements to restore levels.

I am suffering from severe back pain for the last 4 days. My xray report says: bilateral sacralization of LV5 and body of LV2 shows wedging deformity anteriorly
Male | 33
Severe back pain may indicate different conditions that can be causing the pain. According to x-ray reports, you have a case of LV5 & LV2 and the anterior part of LV2 is going through wedge shape deformation. This tells me you have probably some vertebrae problems that need to be checked out by a spine expert. Print We recommend you make an appointment with a spinal surgeon.
