You're dealing with a persistent headache, which can be tough to endure. Common causes include stress, dehydration, or lack of sleep. It might also stem from eye strain or tension in your neck and shoulders. To help, try drinking more water, getting enough rest, and practicing relaxation techniques like deep breathing or gentle stretching. If the headache persists, consider consulting a neurologist for further evaluation.

Dr. Gurneet Sawhney
Neurosurgeon
Answered on 28th Oct '24
Having engorged veins in your neck and head can result from pressure or obstructions in the blood vessels. This may be caused by high blood pressure or blood flow issues. A fluid diet, nutritious food, and stress relief are all important aspects to consider. In case of swelling that persists or aggravates, see a neurologist for proper treatment.

You are having stress and anxiety symptoms. Stress can result in poorer memory, anxiety, and distorted reality. Fatigue, perpetual gloom, and delusion are also possible indicators of stress. To feel better, engage yourself in some calming activities such as breathing deeply, speaking with someone you trust, or doing something you like, such as listening to music or taking a walk.

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.

Why am I feeling dizziness and vomiting?
I'm 32 yrs old and feeling dizziness and vomiting sensation in sleep Not able to sleep
Dr. Gurneet Sawhney
Neurosurgeon
Answered on 25th Oct '24
Inner ear problems, low blood sugar, or even anxiety are examples of things that can invoke the said symptoms. On the other hand, you can use this sleeping position technique of slightly lifting your head, smaller meals before sleeping, and drinking enough water all day to minimize it. For persistent symptoms, the best option is to consult a neurologist for proper diagnosis and evaluation.

Why is my lower leg numb when standing?
I’ve been having a lot of uncomfortable symptoms. After I’ve been sitting for a while, when I stand my lower leg feels numb and tingling. I don’t have a way to check my temperature but I’ve been feeling really hot & cold. I’m worried.
Dr. Gurneet Sawhney
Neurosurgeon
Answered on 23rd Oct '24
Nerves can get compressed if you sit still for too long. Such a condition makes you feel a tingling sensation when you stand up. If you experience the feeling of extreme heat and cold, then your body is probably unable to maintain its temperature. Try to stretch and exercise a bit more while sitting. Besides, drink enough water daily. If these symptoms persist, consult a neurologist for a more in-depth assessment.

Shaking, racing heart, weakness, balance issues, and fast thinking are signs of different issues. Low blood sugar due to a poor diet, anxiety, or other medical conditions can be the cause. It's important to get help. For now, consume something with sugar, such as a piece of fruit or a teaspoon of honey. Do not forget to see a neurologist and get a proper evaluation.

my son is very ill Epilepsy
Dr. Gurneet Sawhney
Neurosurgeon
Answered on 23rd Oct '24
Epilepsy is a neurological condition that is characterized by seizures. During a seizure attack, a person may involuntarily shake or jerk. These seizures are manifestations of abnormal electrical activity in the brain. Medications have been proven to control seizures, so recommending the best treatment options from a neurologist should be the priority.

Why are my cheekbones and jaw twitching?
I am 22 years old and I’ve been having this problem I guess for a month where my cheekbones, my jaw part has been twitching for no particular reason. I would like to know the reason behind it
Dr. Gurneet Sawhney
Neurosurgeon
Answered on 22nd Oct '24
This condition called muscle twitches is typically benign, as it were. Stress, fatigue, or even the consumption of too much caffeine can be the causes of the condition. Try getting enough sleep, using relaxation techniques, and eating less caffeinated food. But if it still happens or becomes more intense, it's better to get it checked by a neurologist just in case.

Why Am I Always Tired Despite Dream-Filled Sleep?
I couldn't sleep for 2 months as whever i sleep even for 10 mins i get a dream everytime. I am sleeping for minimum 3 hours a day and i am always tired even without work.
Dr. Gurneet Sawhney

Answered on 22nd Oct '24
You can't get to sleep and walk around like a zombie during the day. If you have dreams every time you sleep, however, they may be short, and you are not getting REM sleep which is the deep sleep you need. As a result, you may feel you have more energy than you do. Thus, this might be a sleep disorder. If the problem persists, see a sleep specialist who can help with the evaluation and therapy.

To deal with it, you can do relaxation techniques and avoid caffeine. If it is disturbing you, you may want to consult a neurologist for more information.

Can I take migraine medication after paracetamol for pressure and dizziness?
My son 21 years old. Struggling with migrains. Have now started to feel pressure in forehead and dizzy. Have just now taken paracetamol 1 gram. Is it ok to take migraine medication he got from doctor last time now already? He is really scared to wake up and get it like last time. It was really bad with vomiting.
Dr. Gurneet Sawhney
Neurosurgeon
Answered on 21st Oct '24
Weakness and sensitivity to light, as well as vomiting, may be the result of migraines. He is on paracetamol which is great, but he can also take the migraine medication his doctor prescribed if it is the case, even though it is soon after the paracetamol. It is important that the doctor’s guidance is adhered to and the medication is taken as instructed which will also help to prevent the next similar episode from happening.

Answered on 21st Oct '24
Based on the symptoms you have described, there is a huge chance that you may have vertigo, which is a disease that causes a man to feel dizzy and unstable. This may be due to malfunctions in the inner ear or injury of the brain. Sometimes the position you sleep in, turning to one side, may trigger these symptoms. Try to avoid sudden head movements, drink enough water, and get enough sleep to help. If the symptoms don't go away, see a neurologist for more tests.

Is Muscle Pain and Numbness from Low B12 or Anxiety?
My vitamin b12 levels are near about 200 ng/ml from 10 years although I am non vegetarian.currently i am on ssri from 1 year for anxiety and depression.now iam feeling muscle pain legs,numbness in fingers of hand sometimes very rare. It is due to anxiety issues or b/12 .
Dr. Gurneet Sawhney
Neurosurgeon
Answered on 21st Oct '24
Insufficient vitamin B12 amounts can lead to muscle aches and numbness which will be considerably suffered in fingers and legs. If your symptoms are related to low B12 levels, it may still be the case that your meat-eating habits do not have any effect. The best way to handle this with your doctor is to ask them to check your B12 levels and determine whether you need treatment or supplements.
