My partner has had a total of 3 seizures from overdoses. She's sober now & I really need to know the health implications, mainly in relation to brain function / impairment. The reason I am even more worried on top of the seizures, is that during each one her whole body would go limp, and her eyes would go blank. I don't mean like looking forward, I mean a legitimate dead look to it, a glaze, I was somewhat reminded of cataracts; seemed as if her actual soul was disconnected from her body & her lips would start going gray/blue; shallow breathing if any at all during this specific part. Put simply, it looks as if she was momentarily dead..

Her seizures from overdoses are a serious concern. If your partner is sober now, it is important for her to visit a neurologist to treat any long-term effects of her overdoses.

My son was in a bad car accident in November and he don’t move he wake up look and blink how can I help him recover? He had a brain injury called diffuse axnol injury is it a cure I have them giving him omega 3 what can cure my son? This is tearing me apart
Male | 20
A diffuse axonal injury happens when the brain gets shaken in the skull. This leads to struggles with thinking, moving, and even waking up. There's no quick fix, but therapies like physical and occupational can assist your son. Omega-3s may benefit brain wellness too.

HI I am worried about my forgetfullness, I am 20 years old and forgot a password yesterday that I have been doing at list 6 times a week for the past 2 years and today I was sure I brought my bag with me, but it ended up being at home, but I am convinced I took it with me. Is it dangerous that I am forgetting things?
Female | 20
It's normal to misplace or forget things sometimes especially when life gets busy or when you are feeling overwhelmed by the things to do. Forgetting a password or misplacing your bag occasionally is usually nothing to worry about at your age. Get enough sleep, eat healthily, and manage stress to help boost memory. If you're unsure, consider keeping a task list ready or utilizing the reminders on your phone to keep you structured. But if you have worries, getting in touch with a healthcare provider is a great alternative to get yourself tested and put your mind at ease.

I have pain in my head in one side only and pain side face swelling also and some times pain side eye vision is getting dull
Female | 38
It feels like you might have sinusitis. Sinusitis can make one side of your head hurt, swell up your face, or affect your sight. This occurs when the sinuses in your face become infected or inflamed. Try putting warm wet towels on your face, drinking lots of water, and using saline nasal sprays. If it still hurts, contact a healthcare provider for further treatment.

All my blood report are normal but i feel dizzy sometime.. why ?
Male | 25
Feeling dizzy, even when all your blood tests are normal, could have various causes such as inner ear problems, low blood pressure, anxiety, and inadequate eating. It’s important to ensure that you eat well, drink enough water, and get sufficient rest.
If you are still experiencing dizziness, it would be best to seek advice from a neurologist.

Male | 46
Your symptoms seem concerning. Left-side headaches, leg tingling, vision troubles - these could link to nerve issues. That spine disk bulge is likely contributing too. Please see a neurologist soon for a proper diagnosis and care plan.

Dr my Sister is 16 years old , before two years she had suffered a severe illness 103F. And a month ago she was playing with little brother and fell down on floor just showing symptoms like epilepsy , I consult with many doctors they said that according to reports she is ok because all reports are fine including eeg , ct scan and mineral test. After that day she is felling pain in b/w eyes region and pain starts gradually and becomes severe at that time heart beat increases and feet become cold it happens normaly after one day or two days or even a week. She felt just like heaviness on eyes and head and she don't likes sound noise , light. A neurolgist dr gave me tablets( Inderal , froben) and said when pain starts you have to give her one tablet of each. Dr when severe pain happens b/w eyes , increase in heart beat , feet become cold and again and again urination(after 2 minutes or 5 minutes).
Female | 16
It sounds like your sister is experiencing a complex set of symptoms that are distressing for both her and your family. Even though her tests are normal, the symptoms you describe—severe pain between the eyes, increased heartbeat, cold feet, and sensitivity to light and sound—should not be ignored. It’s good that you have consulted with a neurologist, but if her symptoms persist or worsen, I strongly recommend seeking a second opinion from another neurologist. It's important to continue monitoring her condition and keep her doctors informed of any changes.

Male | 27
Sometimes people feel panicky, with symptoms like chest tightness, shaking in the arms and legs, and blurred vision. This is known as a panic attack, often triggered by stress, anxiety, or fear. When this happens, try to breathe slowly and deeply, focusing on calming yourself.

Female | 26
Your friend could be having a panic attack. A state where the person has rapid breathing, cold hands and feet, sweaty palms, and feeling unable to move is the most common one during a panic attack. The reasons may be different but the stress or anxiety stage is often the cause. Advise your friend to breathe slowly and deeply to stay calm and composed. Offer them strong reassurance and be a steady presence to help them through it.

I am 28 years old male. I am having severe throbbing headache on the sides of the head as well as on the eyes. I also have swelling on my eyelids. i have extreme headache when i bend down or sneeze/cough. I also have nausea and vomited x3-4 times today
Male | 28
It may sound like you have a condition known as sinusitis. Sinuses get inflamed when spaces around the nose are filled with too much mucus due to colds, flu, allergies, or other conditions. This can lead to pain in your head especially when you lean forward or cough/sneeze; it also causes swelling in the eyes, nausea, and vomiting. To feel better try using warm packs on your face and take pain relievers that can be bought over the counter. Keep yourself well hydrated and rest enough too. In case these signs don't go away, you should see a doctor who will check them out further and treat them accordingly.

The time was 2 years ago, one day without knowing it, I felt a biting muscle above the left ankle. Then little by little after a few days the muscles started biting down to the knee and some pain in the tendon with it seemed as if the tendon was getting tight. In such a way, it gradually became the same condition as the completely fit. He also started having problems with the nerves in his head. Now the right side has the same problem. Now I feel some problem in the stomach and toilet. But no problem with urination yet. Why are they happening? And now what should I do please tell me!!!! I have seen two doctors. One says that the spinal cord is directly caused. Another says that they are caused by impingement on the spine. Treatment is not working.!!!!
Male | 18
These symptoms may be because of something in your spine, or spinal cord that is putting pressure on the nerves. You might have been through tests already. The body part essential for treatment will need to be precisely identified. If the current treatment is not helpful, need to find the right specialist so there is a chance of a second opinion or neurologist and orthopedic doctor for further evaluation and guidance can be provided.

Haii doc, Thanks in advance for answering my questions. Doc my problem is something fishy like I feel unstable and dizzy while hearing load sounds noise and also in closed rooms and sometimes due to horns of buses. I use to get out of the place to make myself relax before I get dizzy on floor. Could you help me regarding this
Male | 23
You may be experiencing noise-induced dizziness, wherein loud sounds or certain surroundings make you feel off-balance or dizzy. It can occur as a result of the sensitivity of your inner ear. It is perfectly normal to be anxious in such situations. Try the earplugs in the noisy areas and take short breaks in the quieter spots. If the issue remains, it is necessary to talk with a neurologist for more information in case of a further problem.

Its been 20 days or more now he says that he feel numbness in hand and feel headache similar to the ache during the cold. And also he feel dizzy sometimes . Is this a normal symptoms of the brain blood clot or an serious issue?
Male | 54
\When a blood clot forms in the brain, numbness in the hand, headache, and dizziness could be worrying. The brain may be deprived of blood supply or there could be pressure on it due to these signs. Make sure he sees a neurologist again because these new symptoms might require more treatment or assessment.

i am 33 year old female 4 days back i started suffering from a terrible head ache and feeling weak now i am noticing my lymp nodes behind my ears are swollen and my eyes i painful today they where swollen what might be the cause
Female | 33
Severe headaches, weakness, swollen lymph nodes behind the ears, and painful, swollen eyes could indicate an infection, possibly sinusitis, which is the inflammation of the sinuses. Get plenty of rest, drink lots of fluids, and apply warm compresses to the eyes to reduce swelling. If the symptoms persist, seek medical evaluation and treatment.

I am 17 year old female,I am having this constant achey pain on the side of the temple and the left side of my middle of the head. These pains are not felt by me unless I press on them . I also have a neck pain, shoulder pain and back pain,with dizziness and fatigue.
Female | 17
If you wake up in the morning with a dull ache running from your temples and shoulders down to your back, accompanied by dizziness and tiredness, you might have tension headaches. These headaches are often caused by stress, poor posture, and eye strain. Meditation and yoga can help, along with checking your posture, taking short breaks from screen time, and getting enough sleep at night. If the symptoms persist, make an appointment to discuss your condition with a neurologist.

The vein on the right side of my head has been twitching for a few days.
Female | 29
The twitchy vein on your head's right side could be caused by stress or lack of sleep. Too much caffeine might also make it happen. Eye strain and being dehydrated are other possible reasons for twitching veins. Be sure to drink enough water, get proper rest, and try reducing stress levels. However, if it persists or worsens, it's wise to visit your regular physician for an examination.
