If you sleep with the mobile near your head for how long, you will develop a brain tumor and if this brain tumor occurs, will the memory of the disease decrease and pain in the back of the head?

Neurosurgeon
Answered on 26th Feb '25
There is no conclusive evidence linking mobile phone use near the head to brain tumors. Symptoms like headaches or memory issues can stem from various causes, including stress or poor sleep. If you experience persistent discomfort or cognitive changes, it’s essential to consult with a neurologist for proper evaluation and guidance. To minimize any potential risks, consider keeping your phone further away while you sleep. A balanced lifestyle, good sleep hygiene, and regular check-ups are beneficial for overall health.

I am located in Tanzania. I have ruptured my Achilles tendon. I know I need to have surgery. My concern is I have no feeling in the bottom of my foot, the doctors here want to do the tendon surgery and are saying the damaged nerves may repair themselves. I don't know if that is true or if I should have a neurosurgeon do the surgery.
Female | 51
The nerves that are damaged could heal by themselves with time but it is advisable to seek guidance from a specialist on how best to handle this situation. If you don't want to go ahead with surgery, have a second opinion from a neurosurgeon and based on that take the decision right for you.

I have 1 pea size lymph node on both side of my neck since 1 month I also have post nasal drip.. I feel numbness like feeling in my neck throat and mouth some times I feel tingling in my head.. From yesterday I feel mild pain in front side of my neck
Female | 28
Your body fights infections through swollen lymph nodes in your neck. Post nasal drip irritates your throat and mouth, causing numbness. Tingling in your head might stem from sensitive nerves. It's crucial to get evaluated and treated by a neurologist. They'll determine the underlying cause and provide proper care for your symptoms.

I am Ibrahim, 32 years old. I fell at work and completely lost consciousness
Male | 32
Losing consciousness can occur when the brain receives insufficient oxygen or blood supply. Perhaps you sustained a head injury after falling. Signs may include feeling lightheaded, weak, or even disoriented just before losing consciousness. You should see a doctor who will examine you and tell you what to do so you do not put yourself in any danger.

Male | 75
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.

I am 68 years old and I had craniotomy surgery last year due to stroke related diabetes and the numbness had gone but now days it has began I don't feel some parts of my arm I can't even manage to carry something or else it will fall and my legs tend to swell what can I do
Male | 68
These issues could stem from nerve recovery after surgery, or they may relate to circulation and fluid retention. I recommend elevating your legs whenever possible and incorporating gentle exercises to promote circulation. Staying hydrated and reducing salt intake can also help manage swelling. However, it's crucial to discuss these new symptoms with your healthcare provider. They can assess your condition and provide tailored advice.

Male | 50
It sounds like you're experiencing discomfort with burning, tingling, and electric sensations in your extremities. Despite normal nerve conduction studies and EMG tests, these symptoms can arise from various causes, including nerve irritation or metabolic factors like elevated blood sugar levels. I recommend continuing to monitor your glucose levels closely. Since medications haven't fully alleviated your pain, consulting a neurologist for further evaluation could be beneficial. They might consider other treatment options or therapies tailored to your needs.

Pain in left-hand palm to elbow numbness and tingling
Male | 30
These signs could mean a pinched nerve — when a nerve is pressed or squeezed. You might get it from bad habits like typing all day or falling asleep in an odd position. To fix it, stop doing the same thing over and over and stretch out gently. Also, if these feelings don’t go away you should see a neurologist.

It has been 2.5 years and she is 40 years old.
Female | 40
The symptoms you described, such as stiffness, trouble speaking, cold hands and feet, and epilepsy say serious things to me. With her previous medical records including heart failure, kidney damage, and extreme variations, this may be a life-threatening issue. It is of utmost importance for her to get appropriate attention as soon as possible to receive the right treatment and the right care for her. The doctors may need to deal with the heart, kidney, and neurological issues together to make your mother feel better.

Female | 39
It’s important to understand that post-concussion symptoms can sometimes be complex and vary from person to person. Your nosebleed might be unrelated, but it could also be linked to stress or changes in your body after the concussion. I strongly recommend seeing a neurologist or an ENT specialist for a proper evaluation and guidance for your symptoms.

Yesterday I had leg and feets pain like sprain today at night suddenly it started twitching it was so intense that I was moving my legs hands arm it was more in arm I was crying out ???? and and teeth were shivering and now suddenly my pain disappeared and shivering also disappeared I still can't stop crying. my forehead is hot and my teeth are shivering but I am not feeling much cold on my feet but there is some coldness
Female | 18
The twitching and shaking may be the result of muscle spasms caused by dehydration, low levels of certain minerals like potassium or calcium, or overexertion of muscles. A hot forehead could be a sign of increased body temperature. Be sure to drink enough water and eat foods rich in minerals like bananas, nuts, and dairy products. On the other hand, taking a warm bath and resting can also help relax your muscles. If these symptoms continue, it is necessary to see a neurologist.

Muscular dystrophy is a condition where your muscles gradually weaken, making it difficult to walk, stand, and move your arms. It's usually inherited, so it often runs in families. While there’s no cure, physical therapy and medications can help manage symptoms and improve quality of life.

Hello Sir, I have Andrealine rush problem, especially during morning hours. I used to take beta blockers for some other problem. They were very helpful in controlling andrealine rush and keeping mind relax. As I am not longer taking beta blockers can you suggest any alternative for andrealine rush problem. Thank you!
Male | 29
Stress, anxiety, or hormonal changes can cause hyperactivity. If beta-blockers aren’t available, practices like yoga, meditation, deep breathing, or light exercise can help. These methods calm both the mind and body, reducing adrenaline and promoting relaxation. For better results consult a neurologist.
