Is my right temple pain related to vision or sinuses?
I’m 28 years old female..I have this right side temple and eye pain…it comes and goes..a dull pain..im a shortsighted person..can it be due to my sight problem or could it be a sinus problem??

Answered on 11th June '24
The pain in your right temple and eye could be due to your shortsightedness, as eye strain can cause headaches. However, it could also be related to sinus issues. I recommend visiting an ophthalmologist to check your vision and an ENT specialist to rule out sinus problems.

Could my symptoms indicate fever, headache, anxiety, vomiting?

Answered on 11th June '24
Symptoms such as fever, headache, throwing up, diarrhea, and nervousness could point towards a stomach bug or food poisoning. These might also leave you feeling light-headed or generally unwell. Make sure to drink enough water, get plenty of rest, and stick with bland foods if this is what you’re going through. If your condition doesn’t improve or gets worse than before, please see a doctor so they can examine you properly and give appropriate treatment options.

Why Do I Feel Dizzy with Weakness and Headaches?
I am 41 years old, since 1 year I feel dizzy, can't concentrate on any work, body feels weak, sometimes headache, forehead, head and eyes feel heavy.

Neurosurgeon
Answered on 11th June '24
You may be showing signs of stress, sleep deprivation or even not drinking enough water. When we are under pressure and worn out our bodies feel feeble and our heads become heavy. Rest well, take water regularly and have short breaks during work to unwind. Consider seeking further advice from a medical professional if these feelings persist.

Can epilepsy disappear with time?
Can epilepsy go away in time and a person with it no longer have that disease?
Dr. Gurneet Sawhney
Neurosurgeon
Answered on 10th June '24
Epilepsy is when a person has recurrent seizures. Sometimes this goes away on its own, especially in kids. Symptoms can range from convulsions or strange feelings to staring spells. Causes may be genetic or related to head injuries. Treatment usually includes medication but may involve surgery as well. Be sure to discuss ways of dealing with it with a neurologist.

Experiencing rebound headaches after CSF leak treatment
Had a blood patch on Wednesday for a CSF leak, having now what I would call rebound headaches any advise please
Dr. Gurneet Sawhney
Neurosurgeon
Answered on 10th June '24
Rebound headaches are common after treating CSF leaks. They occur when the brain becomes accustomed to painkillers and protests when they wear off. To deal with them, try not to overuse pain medicines. Reduce their intake gradually, keep yourself hydrated, and maintain a regular sleep pattern. If they persist, seek further advice from a neurologist.

Hello, my 16-year-old son has been living with epilepsy for approximately 6-7 years. We have consulted multiple doctors and tried various treatments and medications. Unfortunately, the prescribed medications have been unable to effectively manage his seizures. Over the past three days, he has been experiencing severe seizures that we have never seen before. Could you please advise if your hospital has a specialized neurologist with expertise in epilepsy treatment and surgery? We would greatly appreciate any feedback you can provide, including testimonials from other patients who have received care at your hospital. Additionally, we would like to know the price list for all treatments, including surgeries, and the types of surgeries you perform. We are currently exploring options for our son's care and would appreciate any guidance you can offer. Thank you, and we look forward to your response.

It’s always very worrying when a child’s seizures are as intense as you say and don’t seem to be affected by any drugs. This needs attention right away. When medicine doesn’t help, sometimes surgery will. The cost of treatment may depend on different things and I think it would be good for you to talk with the staff about that.

Could Contrast MRI Brain Confirm Neoplastic Nodular Lesions?
Mildly hyperdense (HU 42) nodular lesions are seen in the right frontoparietal lobe in the periventricular region. Post contrast images show conglomerate nodular enhancement of these lesions (post contrast 58 HU). Lesions collectively measures approx. 32x18x17 mm. There is surrounding hypodense perilesional edema. No mass effect is seen on right lateral ventricle. No calcific or haemorrhagic densities are observed. Findings are likely suggestive of an underlying neoplastic etiology. Suggest: Contrast MRI brain with spectroscopy evaluation for characterisation. Rest of the brain parenchyma is normal in attenuation. Gray-white matter differentiation

Answered on 10th June '24
The research suggests strange growths in the right frontoparietal lobe of the brain. They might be a tumor. Usual signs can be such as headaches, visual changes, or seizures. Contrast MRI with spectroscopy can be used to find out what type of growth it is. It is crucial to see an oncologist for proper treatment.

What treatment can my 5 year old son have for autism?
My son is 5yrs old. He is suffering by autism. What are the treatment here for the autism?
Dr. Gurneet Sawhney
Neurosurgeon
Answered on 8th June '24
The signs in kids may involve having trouble with social interactions, repeating certain behaviors, and speech being delayed. As of now, there is no known cause for this condition. Treatment can consist of different therapies such as occupational therapy which focuses on skills needed for day-to-day living, behavioral therapy aims at managing symptoms so they don’t interfere too much with life quality, or even just speech therapy if that’s where most help seems necessary. Be sure to team up with a neurologist who will assist in coming up with a treatment plan that best fits your son.

Can one dose of doxycycline cause cranial hypertension?
I’m taking one time dosage of 200mg of doxycycline as pep for possible exposure to sti. Iv heard that doxycycline causes cranial hypertension How likely is that to happen to me from one dosage
Dr. Gurneet Sawhney
Neurosurgeon
Answered on 8th June '24
It is not very likely to get intracranial high blood pressure from a single 200mg dose of doxycycline. Intracranial high blood pressure is an uncommon side effect that may lead to headaches, changes in vision, and nausea. Adequate hydration can help in its prevention. Don’t forget to follow your provider’s instructions when taking this medicine and inform them about any worries you might have.

Why isn't my mom talking after fainting?
Hi, my mom.Doesn't talk after fainting.I don't know why I need to know what can I do.She fainting because she was angry and nervous a lot
Dr. Gurneet Sawhney
Neurosurgeon
Answered on 8th June '24
Your mom may have fainted because she was upset and worried. People sometimes don’t start talking right away after fainting. They usually become responsive again shortly. Try to keep her calm and let her know everything is okay. Ensure she is lying down comfortably. If she doesn’t begin speaking soon or displays any other worrying signs, calling for medical assistance immediately would be advisable.

Could anal douching cause neuropathy symptoms at 28?
Hy. More than one month ago during shower I have washed my anus and ( probabile also my colon). I have removed the shower head and i have put the nozzle into my ass...like 3 or 4 times. Like 10 minutes later started a flash stabbing pain in my left big toe. Next days better little bit after i have niumbness, flashing sometimes prickling and tingling in my legs and arms. In this moment I have burning in my all upper body. ( in my back and arms burn , hot.) I don't have fever! So probabile I have neuropathy ( polyneuropathy) symptoms. My question is the anal douching it could have been caused this symptoms ? Or it's caused by something else?? I am 28 years old. I don't have other sickness. Sorry for my english.

Dependent on the symptoms given, it’s unlikely that anal douching causes your neuropathy symptoms. Neuropathy mostly comes from related factors such as diabetes or nerve injury neuropathy. For a proper diagnosis and treatment plan, see a neurologist. Meanwhile, avoid inserting anything into your anus and focus on staying healthy generally.

A variety of things could be responsible for these symptoms. One possible cause is migraines because they often cause pain in the head and eyes. Other potential reasons are sinusitis or visual troubles among others. For this reason, it is essential to see a neurologist who will give you a thorough checkup and prescribe suitable medicine.

This may cause weakness in the muscles of the hands and legs. I am glad that you are getting better. What has been recommended by your doctor is very important- physiotherapy and exercise. These two things can strengthen your muscles and help you regain your ability to move around. Ensure that you strictly adhere to what they say and remember that healing will take time so don’t get tired of waiting.

Dr. Gurneet Sawhney
Neurosurgeon
Answered on 7th June '24
Staying awake all night and sleeping during the day can disrupt your natural sleep-wake cycle, leading to potential health issues like fatigue, poor concentration, and weakened immunity. It is best to maintain a regular sleep schedule. Please consult a sleep specialist or a general physician to discuss your sleep patterns and get personalized advice.

Why is my speech slurry with hand shivering?
Slurry speech, hand shivering, face muscle tightening
Dr. Gurneet Sawhney
Neurosurgeon
Answered on 7th June '24
You might have some of the signs of Parkinson’s disease. Slurred speech, trembling hands, and tightened facial muscles can be caused by this. When a certain group of brain cells are damaged, Parkinson’s occurs. Treatment may involve drugs and therapy to help with symptom control. You must visit a specialist such as a neurologist so they can provide appropriate care for you.
