Why do I feel right leg thumb numbness?
I'm 26 year old female. I feel numbness in my right leg thumb since 5 days.
Dr. Gurneet Sawhney
Neurosurgeon
Answered on 10th Dec '24
Even though there are various reasons such as nerve compression, poor blood circulation, or even tension in muscles that can cause numbness in the toe of your right leg. As distressful as it may appear, for most cases, the problem will be resolved by simple steps such as changing posture, physical movement on regualr basics or doing gentle meditative exercises. Make sure to avoid any activities that worsen the sensation. Even though this numbness has not gone away in the past five days, it is better to be checked by a neurologist to find the exact cause.

Why is my father's face swelling after stroke recovery?
My father is now 78 years old and before 8 months he was having stroke and now it’s recovered, today morning his face started swelling mainly both lower & upper lips.
Dr. Gurneet Sawhney
Neurosurgeon
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.

Facial paralysis, which is a condition characterized by partial or complete facial muscle weakness, may result from other factors as well, for instance, nerve inflammation or virosome infections. Since the doctor is treating your diabetes and high blood pressure, it is very important to be very careful. Although I am not allowed to give you a prescribed medicine, you should consult a neurologist who can check your state and find the best medicine or treatment that will help you to get rid of the illness.

Although medications and electroconvulsive therapy are effective in alleviating depressed state, she can still be feeling sick. Recovery is on a personal level and it depends on the specific individual, yet sticking to treatment is vital. If watched closely the antidepressants could not only help feeling better but also bring down pain. Please engage in regular communication with her healthcare provider for the best outcome, monitor if the medication is effective and require adjustments if necessary.

How to Lower B6 Levels and Alleviate Nerve Pain?
Remedies to decrease B6 levels . Due to high B6 levels my sensory nerves are paining. I stop taking B6 and numbness too in feet and burns
Dr. Gurneet Sawhney
Neurosurgeon
Answered on 7th Dec '24
Excessive vitamin B6 results in nerve issues manifesting as foot pain, numbness, and burning. Reduce the intake of foods and supplements loaded with B6. Symptoms of tingling, weakness, and trouble walking may occur. Overdose of vitamins can result in these kinds of issues. E.g., a balanced diet low in B6 including bananas, potatoes, and chicken. Allow your body to slow down while it returns to the natural cycle.

26 with autism, asthma, ADHD - Cold hands, feet?
I'm 26 I have autism astma Suspected ADHD Why do I have cold hands and cold feet in the morning
Dr. Gurneet Sawhney
Neurosurgeon
Answered on 5th Dec '24
A cold sensation in the mornings? It’s due to insufficient blood flow to hands and feet. In such cases, it may occur because your limbs' blood vessels get less blood during the night. Other factors such as autism, asthma, and suspected ADHD that require proper organ operation might influence the ways your body regulates its temperature. You can try some of these tips by heating your bedroom, wearing socks to bed, and doing mild exercises in the morning to improve blood circulation.

Even if the blood count is normal, it is still important to investigate other potential causes. Drink the right amount of water regularly, follow a nutritious balanced diet, and rest enough to feel well. You may also try to use over-the-counter painkillers that may provide temporary relief while your body is healing. Nevertheless, if your migraine is persisting and even aggravating, kindly seek the advice of a doctor.

Those problems can be caused by numerous reasons that may include the inner ear, the vestibular system, or even stress. The good news is that previous investigations were negative for any significant underlying causes. Try keeping a symptom journal that will assist you in figuring out possible triggers. Besides, balance exercises and stress-reduction techniques might help. I suggest that you should consult a neurologist about various diagnostic options and treatments that suit your case the most.

Could Delayed Dizziness Stem from Amitriptyline Overdose?
"Hello, I am a 23-year-old woman weighing 36 kg. I ingested 50 mg of amitriptyline all at once on Sunday, December 1, 2024, at 1 pm. After the ingestion, I slept for around 24 hours and did not experience any severe symptoms during the first 48 hours, which made me believe I was in the clear. My prescribed dose is 10 mg twice a day for amitriptyline. I have IBS. However, I am now experiencing dizziness and lightheadedness, which started today, December 3, 2024, at 8 pm. This symptom did not occur earlier, and I am concerned that it might be related to the overdose. Could this dizziness or lightheadedness be a delayed effect of the overdose? Is this symptom potentially serious, and should I take any immediate actions or seek further medical evaluation? Should I wait before resuming my regular prescribed dose of amitriptyline, or do I need to undergo any tests or monitoring before restarting my medication?"
Dr. Gurneet Sawhney
Neurosurgeon
Answered on 5th Dec '24
It is possible to experience dizziness and lightheadedness following consumption of higher doses of amitriptyline, even in a delayed manner. Considering your weight and the amount you took, it will be important to keep an eye on these symptoms. I urge you to go to a healthcare professional for assessment as quickly as you can.

Your problem seems to point that your sleep and your focus are getting affected by your case. It may be due to your sleep pattern or stress. You should just adopt some healthy habits such as following a consistent sleep schedule, exercise daily, and keep away from electronic devices before going to bed. In order to develop better concentration usage of small study sessions and break will be the answer. If this problem still exists, seeing a physician or a mental health professional might be a good option.

It seems that you might have a condition that is known as a cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leak which occurs when there is a tear in the tissues that surround the brain. If your pain is on the left side of your head and you have fluid leaking from your nose when you bend your head forward, the doctor can tell you more about this. It is important to see a neurologist for proper diagnosis and treatment as soon as possible.

Could a small bump cause severe right-sided headache?
Severe headache and small bump in the right side of head
Dr. Gurneet Sawhney
Neurosurgeon
Answered on 4th Dec '24
It may be a result of a recent head injury or tension headache, among other risks. The bump could be a consequence of the pain. One of the ways that can be helpful is to put a cold pack on top of the bump. Lie down afterward for a short rest. If this still doesn't go away, it is advisable to ask for a healthcare professional's opinion for your own safety.

Dr. Gurneet Sawhney
Neurosurgeon
Answered on 4th Dec '24
Sensory issues, specifically numbness in the feet and its pain are one of the potential causes of B6 vitamin overdose. It is great you have ceased using it. Your system could take a long while to gain steadiness. A balanced diet rich in vitamins and moderate physical exercise remain the basic activities. If pain persists, kindly consult a neurologist. They will assist you in determining suitable options for you to handle your symptoms.

It looks like you are suffering from a disease called tinnitus, a noise or buzzing sound that persists in your ears. It can be the effect of exposure to loud noise, ear infections, or age-related hearing loss. The main thing is to protect your ears from loud noises and consult an ear or neurologist doctor for further evaluation and treatment options.
