Causes of Sudden Fainting: Medical Insights
What causes sudden faint
Dr. Gurneet Sawhney
Neurosurgeon
Answered on 14th Aug '24
Sometimes, people faint unexpectedly. This occurs when blood doesn't reach the brain sufficiently. It might be low blood pressure, or maybe the heart rate dropped suddenly. Rapid standing, dehydration, and low blood sugar often cause fainting. To avoid it, stand up slowly from seated positions. Also, drink plenty of fluids regularly. Eating frequent meals helps maintain stable blood sugar levels.

Hello, I was wondering if I should schedule a doctor's visit. I had hit the top right side of my head 2 days ago and again today on my right side with the door on accident. I have been feeling nauseous, slight blurry vision, really bad headache on my right side and fatigue. Thank you!

Answered on 14th Aug '24
Two recent bumps to your head have caused some unpleasant symptoms: nausea, blurry vision, a headache on the right side, and tiredness. These could be signs of a possible concussion, which happens when the brain shakes from an impact. If your symptoms worsen or continue, please see a neurologist to be safe.

You described symptoms like one-sided headaches, tingling legs, a bulging spinal disk, facial pain, vision problems, neck and shoulder discomfort, exhaustion, sleep disturbances, constipation, dizziness, and mild fever. Multiple potential causes beyond MS must be evaluated. These might relate to spinal issues, nerve conditions, or other bodily ailments. A thorough medical examination from a neurologist is vital for identifying the precise source of all these symptoms.

Possible Causes of Tingling in Hands and Feet
Ive been facing tingling in hands and feet also having digestive issues since 1 week, had mild headache also. And now when I fall asleep, my whole body keeps shaking, gets normal, when I move little. Yesterday got my blood reports. I have 197 VIT B12 on ref level of 211-950(acc to lab). Therfore a deficiency. Also vast deficiency in VIT D. Is it all happening because of these deficiencies? Or any other reason?
Dr. Gurneet Sawhney
Neurosurgeon
Answered on 13th Aug '24
Your symptoms suggest vitamin deficiencies. Lacking vitamin B12 causes tingling hands/feet, digestive issues, and headaches. Deficient vitamin D prompts shaky sleep sensations. These deficiencies likely cause your symptoms. To fix this, eat vitamin B12 and D-rich foods. Your doctor may also suggest supplements to restore levels.

Jerky motions in a baby's arms may be infantile spasms, a seizure disorder common around this age. These sudden twitches in limbs need medical care quickly. See a pediatric neurologist soon for proper tests and plan. Early action matters to avoid issues and help the baby's growth.

The medicines you mentioned are used often after bypass surgery. Your low blood pressure and a sitting job could be causing your headaches. Stay hydrated. Drink plenty of water. Take breaks from sitting. Tell your doctor about what's happening. Your doctor can help manage things better if you keep them updated.

Dr. Gurneet Sawhney
Neurosurgeon
Answered on 12th Aug '24
Pressure inside your skull, known as intracranial pressure (ICP), is measuring higher than the typical range at 29. This elevated level could signify an underlying issue concerning your brain's health. Indicators like persistent headaches, nausea, and vision disturbances may manifest. Potential causes range from traumatic head injuries to various neurological conditions. Seeking prompt medical evaluation from a neurologist is crucial to pinpoint the precise cause and initiate appropriate treatment.

Dr. Gurneet Sawhney

It is important to know that masturbation itself is not harmful, but rather, excess or aggressive behavior can lead to physical issues. This could be one of the reasons your symptoms occur. Try to limit masturbation and focus on a healthy lifestyle with exercise and a balanced diet. Also, see a neurologist for proper care and discuss other treatment options.

Will stem cells offer a cure for sudden hearing loss?
April 12,2023 I was showering when I finish I heard a sound in my head like pipes falling. Then I notice I couldn't hear in my left ear and I started hear a loud buzzing sound. This was a weekend and I couldn't see my doctor until Monday. He had me take a ct scan to rule out a stroke. I then was given a referral to see an ENT . I was told by the ENT that I was deaf in my left ear and a hearing aid wouldn't help me and come back in a month. I became so angry with this person because he didn't care about my health issue. I feel like I am on this journey alone. Through my research, I found there is no cure for sudden hearing loss. However it appears stem cells offer promise for a cure. When do you think there may be a cure or which country is ahead of the curve for a cure.
Dr. Gurneet Sawhney

Answered on 9th Aug '24
Sudden hearing loss, like what you've described, is known as sudden sensorineural hearing loss. Common symptoms include hearing a loud buzzing sound and feeling as though your ear is blocked. The exact cause isn't always clear, but it may be related to infections or blood circulation issues in the ear. While there is no known cure, researchers in countries like Japan are exploring stem cell treatments as a potential future option. It's important to prioritize your health and stay in regular contact with your doctor.

Possible Diagnosis for Severe Occipital Headache
i'm getting extreme severe pain at the back of head. it's feeling as if someone's hitting me with hammer with each heartbeat. I had lunch in the afternoon and slept. The pain has been there from the moment I woke up. It's in the occipital region, like the occipital headache. I'm assuming 4 main reasons. 1st one is gastric pain(if gas pain has been struck in my head). it occured to me before and also maybe this time since I didn't walk after having lunch, i usually have gastric issue. 2nd is I have severe wax in my ear. my ear's also paining, so i'm assuming this back head pain because of ear wax. third is the stress/strain which i've been experiencing from a month or so, due to the exam fear n stress, i didn't sleep properly from a month and yesterday night I had undergone an incident with the biggest stress in my life, so, i'm assuming that. 4th reason is that frm childhood, i have severe severe body heat within my body, my body overheats a lot within and i had continously overheating food from 2 days and didn't drink much water, so i'm also assumung pain because of overheating. pls tell me the final diagnosis. Dear Sir/Mam, you can cross question me how much ever deep u want ! jus give me the cause n solution pls doctor! i'll be really really grateful to u sir/mam

Answered on 8th Aug '24
You described severe pain hitting the back of your head with every heartbeat. Several factors might contribute.
- First, gas trapped in the body could cause gastric discomfort radiating upwards.
- Second, built-up earwax might trigger ear pain spreading to the head.
- Third, stress and strains from exams could manifest as tension headaches.
- Fourth, overheating due to excess body heat production could cause throbbing pain.
To address these potential causes: Walk after meals for better digestion and gas relief. Gently clean ears or seek professional ear wax removal. Practice relaxation, get ample sleep and find support for stress management. Stay hydrated and maintain balanced nutrition to regulate body temperature. However, if the intense hammering pain persists or worsens, promptly consult a neurologist for proper diagnosis and treatment.

Teen Experiencing Severe Head Pain
Dr my Sister is 16 years old , before two years she had suffered a severe illness 103F. And a month ago she was playing with little brother and fell down on floor just showing symptoms like epilepsy , I consult with many doctors they said that according to reports she is ok because all reports are fine including eeg , ct scan and mineral test. After that day she is felling pain in b/w eyes region and pain starts gradually and becomes severe at that time heart beat increases and feet become cold it happens normaly after one day or two days or even a week. She felt just like heaviness on eyes and head and she don't likes sound noise , light. A neurolgist dr gave me tablets( Inderal , froben) and said when pain starts you have to give her one tablet of each. Dr when severe pain happens b/w eyes , increase in heart beat , feet become cold and again and again urination(after 2 minutes or 5 minutes).

It sounds like your sister is experiencing a complex set of symptoms that are distressing for both her and your family. Even though her tests are normal, the symptoms you describe—severe pain between the eyes, increased heartbeat, cold feet, and sensitivity to light and sound—should not be ignored. It’s good that you have consulted with a neurologist, but if her symptoms persist or worsen, I strongly recommend seeking a second opinion from another neurologist. It's important to continue monitoring her condition and keep her doctors informed of any changes.

Answered on 6th Aug '24
It sounds like you are experiencing some serious symptoms, even though your CT scan showed no abnormalities. Bleeding from the nose, ears, and eyes after a head injury can be concerning and should be taken seriously. I strongly recommend that you visit a neurologist or an ENT specialist as soon as possible for a thorough examination and proper treatment. They will be able to assess your condition more accurately and provide the necessary care.

Girlfriend's Unconsciousness After Crying: Memory Loss Concerns
My girlfriend suddenly fell unconscious after crying so baldy and after waking up after 5 mins she couldn’t remember anything she even didn’t remember that we were calling
Dr. Gurneet Sawhney
Neurosurgeon
Answered on 6th Aug '24
Your girlfriend fainted, it seems. Crying hard can make blood pressure drop - that makes people faint sometimes. She might've forgotten a bit too. Stay calm, reassure her. Let her rest, drink water, get fresh air. If it happens lots, see a neurologist.

Persistent Headache in 11-Year-Old
My daughter is 11 years, she is having a persistent headache for past one month, doctors have ruled out migraine, sinusitis and the MRI reports are also normal...as per her she doesn't have any stress...would seek your suggestion.
Dr. Gurneet Sawhney
Neurosurgeon
Answered on 6th Aug '24
It's confusing when tests don't reveal obvious causes like migraines or sinus issues, and her MRI looked normal. Some possibilities are tension headaches, eye strain, or dehydration. Encourage drinking lots of water, taking breaks from screens, and getting enough sleep. If headaches persist, see her neurologist again to explore other potential reasons and solutions. Ongoing pain is hard, but keep searching for answers.
