Answered on 10th Dec '24
Swelling in the face, particularly around the lips, may result from a number of causes like allergies, infections, or fluid retention. It is beneficial that your father has returned to his healthy state after his stroke, but any new symptoms should not be neglected. This swelling maybe developed into an allergy or it would be a causal issue. I suggest you consult a neurologist.They will do tests on him to identify the problem before they decide on treatment.

I'm 19 years old. I had a mild stroke 10 days ago.but I have an exam after 15 days. I am feeling much discomfort in my brain. and it's like hell in out in my brain. I cannot concentrate for more than 5 minutes. now what can I do?
Female | 19
It is normal to go through uneasiness following a stroke. It can cause trouble concentrating and brain fog. But, generally, these problems tend to be resolved as your brain heals. Rest, eat, and drink well. It is also essential to fulfill the potential recommendations of your neurologist.

I am 25 years old, I am an epilepsy patient, Can I reduce my medicine ? I took medicine for epilepsy since I am child I didn't get seizure often , in 2019 I am get seizure Sir , is it cure or not ?
Female | 25
In case you are suffering from epilepsy, ensure that you adhere to the doctor’s prescription regarding your medication. It is still important to keep taking medicine even if you do not get many seizures as this will help reduce chances of more occurring. Medication manages seizures; it does not cure them though. Always remember that it is necessary to consult a neurologist before changing any of your drugs.

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.

Okay so my age is 22 female....I have been listening to subliminal since last 4 - 5 days but since yesterday I am having side effects like nausea, blur vision , brain fog , dizziness can you suggest what to do????
Female | 22
You might feel sick, have sight issues, or have a hard time thinking/ have dizziness. These might be stress, panic, or even changes in your everyday activities. To begin with, I would suggest that you avoid subliminals and take care of yourself by drinking enough water and resting properly. Warm-up workouts or meditation skills can be of some help in this case. Yet, in case of any persistent or worsening of the symptoms mentioned above, consult a neurologist for individualized treatment.

Male | 25
Multiple sclerosis is a condition that impacts the brain and spinal cord. You might experience numbness, tingling, balance issues. MS symptoms include word forgetfulness and walking troubles. Doctors aren't sure what causes it, but believe the immune system damages nerve coverings. Seeing a neurologist is crucial if you suspect MS for testing or treatment.

I am a 30yr old Male I am having constant light headaches and I feel my eyes are sinking in yet I drink alot of water because I play football , so I don't know what's the problem
Male | 30
You're experiencing mild headaches and some strange feelings in your eyes. These could be dehydration symptoms, especially if you're drinking a lot of water while playing football. Dehydration can lead to headaches and eye strain. Ensure you're staying well-hydrated before, during, and after your game. If the symptoms continue, it's best to consult a neurologist for further evaluation.

I am 52 years old, male. I have a tremor only in my right hand for 4 years and it has been diagnosed as Parkinson's. Which therapy methods are suitable for me? Is stem cell therapy an option for me? I would like to receive advice. Best regard
Male | 52
Your Parkinson's tremor has caused a shaking hand on your right side as the doctor has identified. This can make you shiver, get stiff muscles, or have difficulty with your movements. Parkinson's treatment is the administration of drugs, physical therapy, and as a rule, in a small number of cases, also surgery. Even though research has been done regarding stem cell therapy it is not regularly practiced as a primary therapy for Parkinson's. Follow the prescribed therapies that your doctor gives you.

Male | 28
The ailments you mentioned, such as pounding pain, sleepiness, and fatigue are normal for a concussion. Drink no alcohol and take it easy, but don't sleep now. See if you can manage to stay awake for a few hours and check your symptoms. Go to the doctor in case the symptoms become more serious.

I’ve been having a lot of uncomfortable symptoms. After I’ve been sitting for a while, when I stand my lower leg feels numb and tingling. I don’t have a way to check my temperature but I’ve been feeling really hot & cold. I’m worried.
Female | 22
Nerves can get compressed if you sit still for too long. Such a condition makes you feel a tingling sensation when you stand up. If you experience the feeling of extreme heat and cold, then your body is probably unable to maintain its temperature. Try to stretch and exercise a bit more while sitting. Besides, drink enough water daily. If these symptoms persist, consult a neurologist for a more in-depth assessment.

I am 39 old women feeling lip twitching or vibrating little. Kindly what is the reason
Female | 39
These lip twitches or tremors that you are experiencing are quite common and for the most part, are harmless. On some occasions, these involuntary contractions are because of stress, fatigue, or even the overconsumption of caffeine. If the twitches persist or get worse, you can try relieving stress, getting enough sleep, and reducing caffeine. Make sure you are staying hydrated as well.

I have had some kind of neuropathy for the past 4.5 years and have level 6/7 pain in my palms, soles, toes, and fingers. I suffer from pin/needle and burning pain. Over the years I have also lost my muscles in both legs, thighs, arms, posteriors, and have become very weak and can hardly walk now. All my symptoms are symmetrical on both sides. Extensive tests including MRI of brain, chest, EMG, abdomen, ABI, spine, etc. have been done but no significant disease has been found. Constant routine blood tests have shown no major problems. I am not diabatic and have not been identified as hypertensive. Some doctors have inconclusively indicated small fiver neuropathy. I have used gabapentin, pregabalin, and duloxetine for pain relief. I continue to become weak due to muscle atrophy. My friends and relatives have suggested treatment in Chennai, and I would like to come to Chennai in a short time hoping for better treatment and cure of my disease. Thank you and looking forward to a quick response.

I have a Fit or seizure problem. First time I suffered from this. I don't know what to do? Which treatment should I take?
Female | 34
Seizures can be sporadic events that occur when the brain has abnormal neuron activity. Symptoms may involve body shaking, temporary loss of consciousness, or disorientation. One should immediately get diagnosed by a neurologist, who will then conduct various tests such as an EEG. The use of medications or lifestyle changes to successfully lay hold on seizure occurrences will be the primary treatment option.

Should I be worried constant head pressure and headaches a brain tumor or anxiety? Can anxiety symptoms last 24/7?
Female | 29
Feeling pressure in the head can stem from various sources, such as a brain tumor or anxiety-related issues. Notably, anxiety symptoms may persist consistently rather than appearing intermittently. Brain tumors often lead to additional manifestations like impaired vision or speech difficulties. If you experience concerning symptoms, it's crucial to promptly consult a neurologist for accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment.

I am suffering from 20 years headache and vomiting .Now I am taking medicine with my psychiatrist phycian. Some time I feel batter after taking medicine and some time I feel bad.
Female | 43
It is possible to have headaches and nausea coming from different causes such as stress, tension, or medical disorders that are hidden. The likelihood that your pain changes with medicine implies that either the dose or the type needs to be altered. I recommend you communicate constantly with your psychiatrist to manage the problem efficiently. Keeping a symptom diary is one way to determine the patterns and triggers. Alternatively, try mind-body exercises or changes in lifestyle as they will undoubtedly help to get relief. You can consult a neurologist for advice.

Female | 26
Brain tumors are scary. Headaches, blurry eyes, speaking weird, stumbling around, and mood swings happen. They might come from genes, radiation, or yucky chemicals. To know for sure, doctors look at pictures of your brain from an MRI or CT scan. If you're worried, ask a neurologist to get checked out. With the right care, tumors can be treated properly.

When I woke up this morning, I couldn't get out bed. I felt dizziness and total blackouts afterwards. I still lying down. What should I do and what might be the cause of this?
Male | 25
You might be going through orthostatic hypotension. This is a long word that means your blood pressure is too low when you try to stand up. This may lead to you feeling lightheaded and dizzy, and eventually, you might even pass out. To help, try moving stairs at least when you get out of bed, and keep hydrated. If the pain continues, visit a neurologist for a thorough check-up and guidance.

I have been diagnosed with IIH. Could I work in a hospital with equipment that use electromagnetic radiation in the future if I get a shunt placement ? Will it affect my shunt valve settings?
Female | 27
Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension (IIH) can cause headaches and vision problems due to increased pressure around the brain. One common treatment is shunt placement, a tube that drains excess fluid. Working with radiation equipment in a hospital is unlikely to affect your shunt, as shunt valves are not impacted by electromagnetic radiation.
