Why Clear Mind with Water in Nose?
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?
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.

How long should my son take Epival to prevent future seizures?
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.

Why am I suddenly feeling dizzy?
Dizziness strikes out of nowhere. Causes range from dehydration to blood sugar drops or even ear infections. If hit with dizziness, sit or lie down, sip water slowly, and relax. Maybe munch on a snack if low blood sugar's suspected. But persistent dizziness warrants seeing a doctor; determine the real reason.

Why do I experience head pain with neck and shoulder discomfort?
You are suffering from a tension headache. A typical characteristic of this problem is that you constantly feel like a tight band is wrapping around the head.

One way to alleviate it is to relax, maintain good posture, and have screen breaks. Easy and gentle exercises for the neck can also be quite helpful. In addition to keeping your body hydrated and well-rested, you can treat yourself to a regular massage.

Can I Reduce Medicine Dosage for Nerve Disease Soon?
When symptoms disappear, it indicates that the treatment is working. For nerve problems, the patient should gradually change medication. The body needs time, usually a few months, to adjust to a new dose before considering reducing it. If you rush this process, symptoms may return.

Why Am I Experiencing Leg Weakness, Fatigue and Neck Pain?
You seem to feel weakened as your legs are not strong. Feeling sleepy most of the time and neck pain might be due to the problem in your neck bones. Not being hungry is also one of the consequences of the issue. Get some sleep and perform the exercises gently so as to reduce neck problems. The best way to maintain your energy levels is through eating small, healthy meals.

Why do I get daily headaches needing ibuprofen?
The headaches have arisen regularly and are usually relieved by painkillers. They are characterized by stress, lack of sleep, or a bad posture, and therefore are often the case. It is necessary to trace the main cause. I suggest you engage in stress-relieving activities such as deep breathing, stretching, and getting proper sleep and posture. If the headaches still exist, it is crucial to consult a doctor to diagnose and prevent any hidden causes.
