What is the difference between a stroke and a seizure?
Though there are a lot of similarities between a stroke and a seizure, there are some noteworthy differences between the two conditions. Please check the table below to know the difference between a stroke and a seizure.
Differences | Stroke | Seizures |
Nature of the Condition | The brain stops functioning in a stroke | The brain simply overreacts in a seizure |
Causes | A stroke can cause a seizure | A seizure cannot cause a stroke |
Effects on the body | A stroke can, in most cases, lead to paralysis ,and in one out of ten cases, death. | For seizures, there is hardly any damage to the body, and death only happens in rare cases. |
Method of treatment | The most effective way to fight a stroke is to find the cause of it and tackle it accordingly. | For seizures, anti-seizure medications are the most popular and recommended treatment choice. |
Symptoms | Most symptoms of stroke and seizures overlap, but facial drooping is one such symptom that is experienced only in stroke. | Facial drooping is not a symptom of seizures. |

When can I drive after a stroke?
Reputed neurosurgeons recommend waiting for at least one month after a mini-stroke and then resume driving for better brain healing. For massive strokes, the wait is longer.
But in either case, it is advisable to first obtain your doctor’s consent before driving again.

Iam 28 years Female. I took antidepressants for one month. After that iam facing jerking movement sensation in face and head.
The jerking movement sensations are a side effect of the antidepressant medication.Talk to your doctor they may recommend adjusting your dose or switching to a different medication. Donb't stop taking antidepressants without medical supervision as the discontinuation can lead to withdrawal symptoms.

I have adhd and have concerta perscribed to me and recently got a bladder stone, they gave me 2 5mg pills of oxycodone hydrochloride to take if my pain comes back and it has come back now. so my question is can i take oxycodone hydrochloride and Methylphenidate Hydrochloride (ritalin/concerta) together?
I won't recommend you to take oxycodone hydrochloride and Methylphenidate Hydrochloride (ritalin/concerta) together. You should consult with a neurologist first. Both medicines can have stimulant effects on the body and may interact with each other, potentially leading to serious side effects.

Iam Monalisa Sahoo age 31 yrs,wt 63 kg, suffering from pinning problem , Sensational feelings, burning feelings and sleeping weakness. Pinning like problem starts from right legs big toe develop though out the body from leg,hand,brain central part pls suggest us
It can be neurological symptoms that could be related to a number of conditions. Pinning, burning, and sensory changes that start in one part of the body and spread to other areas could be a sign of nerve damage or dysfunction. See a neurologist as soon as possible to talk your symptoms more in detail and undergo a thorough physical and neurological examination.
