Could my daughter's symptoms be serious with blood clots?
If your daughter is experiencing severe headaches, blurred or double vision, vomiting, or blood clots coming from her nose, these are something to be seriously worried about. The cause of all these might be high blood pressure, a head injury, or even a blood clot in her brain. Take her to the hospital immediately. Call an ambulance or take her to the emergency department so that they can diagnose and treat her properly.

What to Do for Short Term Memory Loss at 25?
You have a problem with short-term memory loss that you should look out for. For example, you may forget information or events that have just happened. This is common when people are stressed, not sleeping well, or taking certain drugs. You can try relaxation techniques, getting enough sleep, and talking to your doctor about the pills you are taking. If it doesn’t get better or gets worse then go to a neurologist so they can figure out what’s going on.

Is adding another medication with lamotrigine for seizures effective?
You’re still having seizures despite taking lamotrigine. It’s a medication commonly used for epilepsy. When seizures continue, adding another medication may help control them. Your doctor may suggest options such as levetiracetam or valproic acid. These medicines work in different ways to prevent seizures. Discuss with your doctor to find the best option for you.

Why am I experiencing sudden dizziness?
It’s normal to feel lightheaded every once in a while and it’s totally natural to panic. There are a bunch of different reasons why this might happen. Maybe you haven’t eaten much today or haven’t had anything to drink in a few hours. Perhaps you’re working out too hard and getting dehydrated, or you stood up really fast and got dizzy from the blood rush. Some people even feel faint when they’re anxious.

Why am I experiencing severe neck vein pain?
Poor posture, muscle tension, or stress can cause this. Do not sit still for too long and try some light neck exercises. Having a warm bath or using a hot water bottle might also be helpful. If you still feel pain after doing all these or it gets worse, we recommend that you consult with a healthcare professional immediately.

Can Brain Bleeding Improve Memory Loss Recovery?
The reason behind this may be that the bleeding has put pressure on your brain and harmed the tissues responsible for memory. Regaining lost memories varies from person to person depending on how much they have been damaged. The methods used in curing include giving the mind enough time to heal, physical therapy, and at times drugs to help with recollection. To get the best results it’s important that you do as the neurologist tells you.

What should I do if my brother has fits?
Your brother may have had seizures, which are also called fits, and can make people behave strangely. There are many reasons why seizures occur – for instance, epilepsy or a high fever. If you see someone having a seizure, put them down gently on their side so that they don’t get hurt. Don’t try to hold his tongue or put anything in his mouth. Keep calm throughout this period then seek medical attention immediately after it is over. Finding out what caused him to convulse is important as well as getting him treated appropriately.

Why Can't I Sleep Properly at Night?
Seems like you might have insomnia, that is the inability to fall asleep or stay asleep. If you can’t fall asleep at night this can cause tired eyes that burn all day long. Stress, caffeine and use of screens before bedtime are some common reasons why teenagers suffer from this condition. Establishing a night time routine, avoiding caffeine and switching off the screens before going to bed may help improve your sleeping patterns.

Is my right temple pain related to vision or sinuses?
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?
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?
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.

Experiencing rebound headaches after CSF leak treatment
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.

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.
