These signs could originate from different things, such as nerve problems, circulation issues, or even muscle conditions. Almost always we will be starved of our health by getting medical help. Health practitioners can do some tests, such as imaging or nerve studies, for the diagnosis. Apply easy exercises and stay on the right track in your life for your everyday life. Please be careful to talk to a neurologist to reveal your symptoms; because on time could be the turning point.

I'm 32 yrs old and feeling dizziness and vomiting sensation in sleep Not able to sleep
Male | 32
Inner ear problems, low blood sugar, or even anxiety are examples of things that can invoke the said symptoms. On the other hand, you can use this sleeping position technique of slightly lifting your head, smaller meals before sleeping, and drinking enough water all day to minimize it. For persistent symptoms, the best option is to consult a neurologist for proper diagnosis and evaluation.

I am a 60 years old woman and I have Chiari malformation syndrom since 20 years
Female | 60
Chiari malformation syndrome occurs when the lower region of the brain known as the cerebellum gets compressed through the skull hole that permits the spinal cord to pass. It can lead to symptoms such as headaches, neck pain, dizziness, or walking problems. Treatment can be routine medications for the symptoms and sometimes surgery to relieve the pressure on the brain. Discuss your symptoms with your neurologist.

Female | 36
This can be due to various reasons. It may be because you are not taking in enough water, or perhaps you are feeling stressed or tired. Things such as not eating regularly or having low blood sugar can also make you feel this way. Drink a lot of water, take a proper diet, and avoid overexertion. Suppose in case dizziness persists, it is feasible to check with your doctor so that any serious issues will be identified.

Here is my story, Doctor. So, two years ago, I suddenly felt immense pain in my foot and got bedridden for almost three months. And then I rushed to a physician because at the time there was no neurologist in my city. The physician tested my vitamins and gave me some vitamins. It eventually got better and I was able to walk. I was overweight at that time and my physician told me that it's all because of weight. And then I lost almost 20 kilograms, but there was still feeling of socks. I don't feel any pain or anything, but I just feel like I'm wearing socks. Then after almost two years, I visited a neurologist with this and she tested my vitamins. She prescribed me vitamin D supplements since my vitamin D is at 12, but for one month. Nothing happened with this one month treatment. Then she did my NCV. She said my NCV reports are normal and has prescribed me some vitamins again. What do you think, how much time it would take to get completely cured?
Female | 21
Based on what you have told me, the peripheral disorder mentioned by the speaker is on track with peripheral nerve disease. In most cases, the feeling of socks on your feet could be easily attributed to peripheral neuropathy. You are lucky that your neurologist has done so many tests and that your vitamins and nerves are under control. Please continue to take the vitamins as per the doctor's prescription and remain patient. You will need some time to see improvements in your nerves. Also, keeping a check on your weight and living a healthy life will speed up your recovery while doing well.

The time was 2 years ago, one day without knowing it, I felt a biting muscle above the left ankle. Then little by little after a few days the muscles started biting down to the knee and some pain in the tendon with it seemed as if the tendon was getting tight. In such a way, it gradually became the same condition as the completely fit. He also started having problems with the nerves in his head. Now the right side has the same problem. Now I feel some problem in the stomach and toilet. But no problem with urination yet. Why are they happening? And now what should I do please tell me!!!! I have seen two doctors. One says that the spinal cord is directly caused. Another says that they are caused by impingement on the spine. Treatment is not working.!!!!
Male | 18
These symptoms may be because of something in your spine, or spinal cord that is putting pressure on the nerves. You might have been through tests already. The body part essential for treatment will need to be precisely identified. If the current treatment is not helpful, need to find the right specialist so there is a chance of a second opinion or neurologist and orthopedic doctor for further evaluation and guidance can be provided.

Right basifrontal region focal encephalomalacia is seen measuring 3x2 cm (H/O prior trauma). MRI report is abnormal but my EEG test is normal
Female | 28
You feel uneasy because of the MRI report that shows a spot in your brain. It may have been caused by a past injury. Encephalomalacia is the condition when brain tissue is damaged and can be of various types such as headaches or memory problems. The good news is that your brain's electrical activity seems okay. You only have to do two things: first of all, watch out for any new symptoms that may come up and report them to your neurologist.

Post-ischemic stroke, it is necessary to seek medical care as soon as possible and get treatment from a highly trained neurologist or stroke specialist. If you take painkillers such as aspirin, atorvastatin, or apixaban, it might be risky and can even prove to be fatal.

Headache on frontal head with vomiting
Male | 59
Headaches at the front of your head, along with vomiting, can happen together. Common causes are migraines, tension, or sinus issues. To help, stay in a dark, quiet place, drink plenty of water, and avoid bright lights. Pain medicine might also help. If symptoms don't improve, see a doctor. It's important to rest and stay hydrated. If the symptoms are severe and ongoing, seek advice from a neurologist.

I have a daughter whose development has been a bit late since she was little. She could only lie face down after she was 1 year old and then she could walk around 3 or 4 years old. Her development is slow but she is currently in grade 11 at school, but her mental ability is very weak. Her IQ is below 100. Her right hand, right leg and arm are stiff. The sole of the right foot tilts inward so it is difficult to walk or not like a normal person. What I hope from this treatment is that she right side can function normally. Because now you need help to clean after menstruation or after defecating, considering that the only thing that can be used normally is only the left hand, and even then it is not very active.
Female | 18
Your daughter's symptoms are typical of cerebral palsy which causes a lack of muscle coordination and also results in mobility problems. Those symptoms you named are the cause of an extra motor diagnostic test to be done, like hip reflexes to be tested, and a tossed foot drop. The most optimal way is physiotherapy to do work on muscle tone or strength and loosen tightness, to let your child move properly. In the case of consistent therapy, she will grow more independent and be able to use her muscles more easily so she can join you in activities.

What is a sleep stroke?
Female | 30
There is no medical condition specifically referred to as a "sleep stroke." However, strokes can occur at any time, including during sleep. A stroke happens when blood flow to the brain is disrupted, either due to a blocked blood vessel (ischemic stroke) or bleeding in the brain (hemorrhagic stroke). The risk factors for stroke include hypertension, diabetes, smoking, and other cardiovascular conditions. If someone experiences symptoms like sudden numbness, confusion, trouble speaking, or severe headache, even during sleep, immediate medical attention is crucial.

Female | 49
You might be dealing with stress, maybe too much strain or not enough rest. The human body reacts to stress in such a way that all these things can happen. To feel better, the recommended course of action is: to relax more, try to get some sleep, and practice breathing exercises or do some gentle exercises.

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.

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.

Has your partner seemed forgetful or confused? These could be signs of dementia, which affects memory, thinking, and reasoning. Hallucinations, like seeing or hearing things that aren't real, may also happen. It's important to see a neurologist for a diagnosis and treatment.
