Her symptoms may indicate a neurological issue that affects consciousness and motor coordination. Several potential causes exist, such as seizures, metabolic disorders, or other brain-related conditions. It’s essential to continue seeking specialized care. I recommend consulting a neurologist or a specialist in sleep medicine for further evaluation, including brain imaging and tests, to better understand her situation. Keeping a detailed diary of her episodes can also help doctors identify patterns.

I have head ache for the past 3 days and I couldnt sleep
Female | 66
A headache lasting for days could be a symptom of various reasons. It can be caused by stress, dehydration, or the lack of sleep. In some cases, it could be a signal of a more dangerous disease. You can try to drink a lot of water, relax in a dark room, and avoid light screens before sleeping. If the problem persists it is better to consult a neurologist for it.

Female | 9
Seizures make one's body jerk or stiffen. They occur for varied reasons like epilepsy or fevers. Epilepsy is a condition that may lead to seizures in some instances. An MRI exam helps doctors examine the brain closely. Working closely with a neurologist is crucial to developing an optimal treatment strategy for her well-being, despite the challenges her situation presents initially.

Female | 23
Sleep difficulties and sensations of irritation or goosebumps could be due to many factors. It's essential to establish a relaxing bedtime routine, maintain a consistent sleep schedule, and create a comfortable sleeping environment. Reducing stress through relaxation techniques and avoiding stimulants can also help improve your sleep. If the problem persists, consider consulting a neurology professional or a sleep specialist from known hospitals for further evaluation and guidance.

Female | 18
The type of headaches you are having, which more often than not, are very intense, with earache, dizziness, and hypersensitivity to light and sound, all symptoms suggest a likely migraine. Migraines occur when your brain is hypersensitive to the things that your body would normally be able to cope with such as stress, lack of sleep, or even something you eat. To achieve the goal of migraine control, you can use a headache diary, stay hydrated, be well-rested, and avoid the triggers. Even if the symptoms get more serious or become a major obstacle in your everyday activities, it's always a good move to seek medical advice from a healthcare practitioner.

I can study for maximum hours from school time . But suddenly i felt sleepy during book reading or using laptop . Memory weak brain fog like condition . Forehead always warm now . Headache always . How to make my brain efficent . Any medical test suggestion for me .
Female | 29
You seem to be feeling tired, and unable to focus, and you often have headaches. These symptoms can have several different causes, such as stress, sleep deprivation, or even nutrient deprivation. To improve your cognitive ability, try to sleep, drink water, and eat a diet that contains all the vitamins and minerals. It is all about getting sleep and staying hydrated. Taking short breaks in between study times is helpful too. If these symptoms do not leave you alone, then I advise you to consult a doctor for a complete assessment.

I survived Wernicke Korsakoff with minimal damage. Is it true that I only have 8 years to live?
Female | 53
It's great to hear that you got through Wernicke-Korsakoff with minimal issues. Don't worry; you're not limited to just 8 years. Wernicke-Korsakoff affects memory and brain function, causing symptoms like confusion, vision problems, and walking difficulties, usually due to a Vitamin B1 deficiency. Treatment includes B1 supplements and a nutritious diet. With proper care, you can live a long, healthy life.

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?
Male | 18
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.

It sounds like you're experiencing involuntary movements in your hand during the night. This could be related to a neurological issue, and it’s important to consult a neurologist who can help diagnose the cause and suggest proper treatment. Don’t worry, with the right medical guidance, you can improve and feel better.

The pain in the backside bone and the sensation of dizziness or vertigo when moving her head could be due to musculoskeletal issues, inner ear problems, or neurological conditions.

Patient got fever at first, in local hospital it was diagnosed as typhoid and she took treatment for 2 weeks then she was feeling good . Then after 3 days she again started vomiting and not able to drink aswell , so she was admitted to city hospital but nothing happened , they suggested neurologist visit. The neurologist did MRI and meanwhile she was loosing her eye sight gradually . Neurologist suggested to immediately move to bigger hospital , on the same night patient was admitted to jipmer multi-speciality hospital (Govt owned). From then last 25 days they are doing multiple tests for MS, NMOSD, AUTOIMMUNE, SPINAL ,EYE ,BLOOD,MRI. But all the reports are coming as negative nothing is diagnosed, meanwhile they are providing treatment like plasma therapy and patient totally lost vision, speech, mobility. Not sure what to do , can someone help us with further directions.
Female | 21
The person who lost vision, speech, and mobility is not positive news. Given the negative reports so far, it's clear that we have other plans in mind. Rare conditions also are a factor that needs to be considered. This included Acute Disseminated Encephalomyelitis (ADEM) or any other rare unknown, and often under-reported neurological disorders that might be the cause of these symptoms. Discuss these issues with a neurologist for the best treatment.

When someone one trying to get alpha gpc for focusing on study then what dosage you give for 19 age
Male | 19
If you're considering Alpha GPC to enhance your studies, proceed with caution. A safe daily dose for a 19-year-old is 300-600 mg, but it's best to start with a lower dose for a few days to see how your body responds. While Alpha GPC may improve cognitive function, remember to maintain a balanced diet, stay hydrated, and get enough sleep for overall health and focus.

There is swelling in nerve on the side of ear and it causes pain in head and in neck
Male | 18
You might have something called occipital neuralgia. The nerves going from your spine to scalp get irritated or inflamed. This causes the head and neck discomfort. Other effects could be light sensitivity and a sore scalp. To ease the pain, take over-the-counter medicine. Apply warmth or cold to the area. Practice deep breathing and relaxing. But if it persists, see a neurologist for evaluation and treatment.

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.

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.
