Why is my muscle twitching after yawning?
Why my muscle above ear started twitching after yawning on just one side? Im eating a lot on that side and maybe I have bruxiszm.

Answered on 13th Feb '25
Muscle twitching near the ear could be linked to various factors, such as stress, fatigue, or jaw tension from grinding teeth. It's common for one side to be affected, especially if you've been favoring that side while eating. To alleviate discomfort, practice relaxation techniques, maintain a balanced diet, and consider jaw exercises. Applying warm compresses can also help soothe the area. While these measures may provide relief, I recommend consulting a neurologist for a thorough evaluation and personalized treatment options.

You are suffering from a tension headache. A typical characteristic of this problem is that you constantly feel like a tight band is wrapping around the head. A person may get this headache due to the brain's reaction to a stressful, tense environment, constant poor body mechanics, or eyestrain. One way to alleviate it is to relax, maintain good posture, and have screen breaks. Easy and gentle exercises for the neck can also be quite helpful. In addition to keeping your body hydrated and well-rested, you can treat yourself to a regular massage.

I am 20 years old male suffering from memory loss
Male | 20
Memory loss in a 20-year-old man is infrequent. Suppose you're experiencing memory loss or having trouble remembering things, it may cause a weight decrease and not eating well. It’s critical to keep yourself well-rested by sleeping well, eating a healthy diet, and using relaxation techniques such as deep breathing and meditation. If the trouble remains, it is better to seek advice from a neurologist for better options.

Wrist,knees,hips almost felt like can't bare my weight
Female | 32
You’re having pain in the joints after you were administered cortisone to the node in your cerebellum. On occasions, joint pain may occur as a side effect of cortisone. Your knees, hands, and hips hurt and it is difficult to stand on them. This is quite possible with cortisone which will affect your body. To solve this problem, it's best to consult an orthopedist about the joint pain.

Hi in October 2022 my cpk was 2000 plus and crp was 12. Diagnosed with IIM. My leg muscles were affected that time. Early ild effects in chest ct scan. Started taking prednisone mmf 1500. But in Oct 2023 my voice is also affected can't speak now. Myositis panel of antibodies negative But Achr antibodies positive and ace levels are high. Still cpk is 1800 and hscrp is 17. 86. Diagnosed with myasthenia gravis and taking prednisone mmf and pyridostigmine now. Taken ivig also but still no improvement in voice and weakness. Recently I had severe diarrhea due to high dose of mmf. I want to know will rituximab treatment will be helpful for me. As my doctor is planning for that but now my cd 19 levels also high. Kindly suggest helpful which and what treatment is suitable and advisable.
Female | 54
It seems you're dealing with health issues like myositis and myasthenia gravis, which weaken muscles affecting your legs and voice. Since previous treatments haven’t helped, your doctor suggests rituximab to reduce inflammation and improve symptoms. Monitoring is important due to high CD19 levels. Be sure to discuss any concerns or side effects with your neurologist.

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.

Persistent headaches can stem from various sources, including tension, migraines, or even vision issues. It's essential to consider accompanying symptoms, such as nausea or light sensitivity, to better understand your situation. Maintaining hydration, practicing relaxation techniques, and ensuring regular sleep can be beneficial. However, since you've been experiencing this discomfort for an extended period, I strongly encourage you to consult a healthcare professional. They can provide a thorough evaluation and discuss tailored treatment options.

Which surgery is better for grade 2 brain tumor? Should the patient opt for Radiosurgery or Craniotomy?
Generally there are 4 types of Resection to remove a tumor:
- Gross total: The entire tumor is removed. However, sometimes microscopic cells may remain.
- Subtotal: A large portion of the tumor is removed.
- Partial: Only part of the tumor is removed.
- Biopsy only: Only a small portion is removed, which is used for a biopsy.
The treatment or surgery depends on several factors like type of cancer, the stage of cancer, location, age of patient, general health, associated comorbidities and others. Consult an oncologist, who on evaluation of the patient will guide you to choose the best treatment suitable for the patient.
Hope our answer helps you.

Male | 32
Your cervical discs have bulged slightly, exerting pressure on the spinal cord area. However, it's not severe. This condition may result in neck, shoulder, or arm discomfort, numbness, or weakness. Aging and spinal strain typically cause such issues. To alleviate symptoms, you might need physical therapy, medication, or surgery in extreme cases.

Male | 28
It can be hard when your head keeps hurting again soon after you take aspirin and Panadol. Stress is one thing that might cause these types of headaches along with bad posture or eye strain too. You should try to relax more often sitting up straight instead of slouching down in your chair for example could help out a lot here as well as taking frequent short breaks from looking at screens if this is something you do throughout the day. Visiting a doctor would be best if it doesn’t go away.
