Why do I have sciatic and radial nerve pain?
Hi, I have sciatic nerve pain but everytime I lift weights at the gym I have hand discomfort especially in the radial nerve area, the strange thing is it is only on one arm at a time like today it s on the right arm and tomorrow or a few hours after it moves to the left hand and to right hand back and forth after hours or days and the other hand feels like I had nothing at all. is it a slip disk or a radial tunnel syndrome ?

Shifting discomfort in your arms can arise from various causes, such as nerve irritation, muscle strain, or overuse, particularly with weightlifting. Sciatica may contribute to some nerve-related issues, but it's essential to differentiate between conditions like radial tunnel syndrome and other potential causes. I recommend you take a break from heavy lifting, focus on stretching, and strengthen your core muscles. Additionally, consulting a neurologist for an accurate diagnosis is important to develop a tailored treatment plan that addresses your specific situation effectively.

Does the pain come suddenly? Is it increased during the time of constipation or gas? If so, try drinking water more often, and eat fruits, vegetables, and salads. Besides, there might be a different reason, which is to meet the doctor in case.

I had an EEG done a couple weeks ago and my neurology appointment is a month away. I'm trying to make heads and tails with what I've been told
Male | 35
If there were any abnormal brain waves, your doctor may want to investigate further. Things like seizures or even bad headaches can cause strange brain wave patterns to show up on this test. So, it’s good news that you have an appointment with a neurologist coming up soon. They will be able to help you figure out what comes next based on what’s been going on with you and what showed up in the EEG.

You are having stress and anxiety symptoms. Stress can result in poorer memory, anxiety, and distorted reality. Fatigue, perpetual gloom, and delusion are also possible indicators of stress. To feel better, engage yourself in some calming activities such as breathing deeply, speaking with someone you trust, or doing something you like, such as listening to music or taking a walk.

Brain Tummer by fall down
Male | 23
You seem to be so scared that you got a tumor in the brain when you fell. Symptoms of brain tumors include headaches, dizziness, vision problems, and difficulty regulating the balance. Brain tumor could lead to falling down if it damages your cooperation or balance. The origination of brain tumors is usually unclear, however, treatment may revolve around surgery, radiations, or chemotherapy. A correct diagnosis and appropriate treatment are recommended, and seeking a neurologist is crucial in this case.

My name Rizwan I want to know why my upper head having low pain and sometimes number and ears too numb What is the issue
Male | 25
You might have tension headaches. They cause mild upper head pain and numb ears. Common culprits? Stress piles on. Poor posture adds strain. Staring at screens strains eyes. Relax, give your body a break. Do some easy neck and shoulder stretches. Look away from screens often. Stay hydrated, young friend. Sleep enough hours at night. If symptoms persist or worsen, see a neurologist soon.

Your head hurts on the right side, near your ear. It could be stress, lack of sleep, or not drinking enough water. Try resting, staying hydrated, and reducing stress. If the pain doesn't go away, consider taking over-the-counter pain relief medicine or visit a neurologist.

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.

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.

I'm hearing ringing sounds in ear
Male | 26
Hearing sounds like ringing can be due to various factors, such as exposure to loud noises, earwax buildup, or stress. Sometimes, this sensation can also indicate underlying health conditions. To manage this, ensure you protect your ears from loud environments, consider reducing stress through relaxation techniques, and maintain good ear hygiene. Staying hydrated and getting enough rest may also help. If these sounds persist or worsen, I encourage you to consult with a neurologist for a complete evaluation.

Male | 21
It sounds like you're struggling with sleep. Short-term sleep deprivation can cause fatigue, dizziness, difficulty focusing, mood swings, and forgetfulness. It's important to address this issue promptly, as an ongoing lack of sleep can seriously affect your health and cognitive abilities. Try techniques like deep breathing, calming music, or creating a comfortable sleep environment to help you relax. If sleep problems persist or you're worried about your sleep patterns, consider seeking advice from a doctor or a sleep specialist.
