Why Do I Have Difficulty with Number and Text Perception
I misread numbers a lot, for example I had to do an essay of 2000 words I clearly saw 2000 but days later I heard it was 1000 and I went to check it again and it was seriously 1000. And whenever I see on my laptop huge paragraphs all over my screen, my eyes feel weird like I cant focus or something. Is it normal?

You could have an eye issue called asthenopia. It happens when your eyes get tired from reading words or screens for too long. Some reasons are looking at screens for hours or using the wrong glasses. To help, take breaks often, adjust the lighting, and maybe get an eye exam for new glasses.

Answered on 25th July '24
Headaches bothering you a while now, huh? That's hard. When they worsen suddenly, we must learn why. Severe ones can come from stress, tired eyes, not enough water, missed sleep, or graver issues too. Since Panadol didn't work, it's wise to see a neurologist for proper checks.

The symptoms you described, like recurring fever, excessive body warmth, and red eyes, might indicate an underlying infection. These can sometimes signal a condition needing medical care. I suggest seeing a neurologist promptly for a thorough examination to determine what's causing your issues and the best treatment plan.

Why Clear Mind with Water in Nose?
Why does my mind feel clear and I got tap water up my nose is my mind feeling clear a symptom of the brain eating amoeba?
Dr. Gurneet Sawhney
Neurosurgeon
Answered on 25th July '24
Getting tap water in your nose won't give you brain-eating amoeba. When water enters through nostrils, it brings sensation of mental clarity due to temperature difference. However, that amoeba is very uncommon, causing severe signs like intense headaches, fever, and disorientation. Avoid letting water enter the nose, especially in warm freshwater regions. But feeling refreshed after accidental nasal water entry doesn't indicate the presence of that frightening amoeba.

Why am I having headaches with shrinking limbs?
Headache, shrinking of hands and legs, foaming at the mouth
Dr. Gurneet Sawhney
Neurosurgeon
Answered on 25th July '24
Severe head pain which radiates to the neck with stiffening neck and the legs and foaming at the mouth are potential symptoms that can be addressed as epilepsy. Epilepsy is a disorder of the brain characterized by the occurrence of abnormal electrical activity, sending inappropriate signals through the nervous system. It is of course injuriously crucial to make it the first choice to see a specialist doctor in case of these symptoms. The common method for the treatment of epilepsy is drug use for control of the seizure and prevention of a future occurrence.

Dr. Gurneet Sawhney
Neurosurgeon
Answered on 25th July '24
After a long period without seizures, it is still possible for them to occur, especially if he misses his medication or becomes overly tired. Fasting and lack of sleep during the Eid period may have contributed. His physician recommends he take Epival 500mg twice daily. The new dosage is expected to reduce the frequency of seizures if taken regularly.

Multiple sclerosis is a condition that impacts the brain and spinal cord. You might experience numbness, tingling, balance issues. MS symptoms include word forgetfulness and walking troubles. Doctors aren't sure what causes it, but believe the immune system damages nerve coverings. Seeing a neurologist is crucial if you suspect MS for testing or treatment.
