Should I Get Nerve Conduction Study for Hand Coordination Issues?

Patient's Query

For the last one and a half years, I’ve been having difficulty with fine motor control only in my right hand. I can move my hand normally, but precise tasks like holding a pen, using a mouse, or typing with my right thumb are difficult and less accurate. There is no major pain or numbness. My left hand is completely normal. I already consulted an orthopedic doctor, and they confirmed there is no bone or joint issue. I would like to get evaluated for possible nerve coordination problems or focal hand dystonia. Please advise if I should undergo a nerve conduction study (NCS) or EMG.”

Answered by Dr. Gurneet Sawhney

It could be related to nerve coordination or even something called focal hand dystonia. This condition can affect specific movements in just one hand, causing difficulty with fine motor skills. Since your orthopedist ruled out bone and joint issues, considering a nerve conduction study (NCS) or electromyography (EMG) could provide valuable insights into nerve function and muscle activity. These tests can help pinpoint any nerve-related issues that might be causing your symptoms. It's a good step towards finding the best way to manage and improve your hand coordination.

I feel like my head is always hot.While studying it feels like it's totally stuffed and I need to wash my head with cold water to relax and didn't have any memory about what I taught in previous day

You might be suffering from stress or fatigue. When you start getting a hot and closed head and you often find yourself in a state of amnesia it might be a sign that you are tired and your brain is asking for a rest. Take breaks while studying, drink plenty of water, and give your body enough rest.

from past 1 week i have been feeling really sleepy to the point where i am sleeping 10hours and after waking up still feeling the urge to sleep ...tired ,weak ,also feeling lightheadedness ...can u plz help me out with the diagnosis

Female | 24

Your symptoms of excessive sleepiness, tiredness, weakness, and lightheadedness could indicate anemia. Anemia occurs when your body lacks enough red blood cells to carry oxygen to your organs, making you feel tired and dizzy. This may be due to iron deficiency, blood loss, or a health issue affecting your red blood cells. I suggest visiting a doctor for a blood test to check your iron levels. Including iron-rich foods like spinach, beans, and lean meats in your diet can also help.

I wanna try to get scanned for a brain tumour, this thought has gone as far back as grade 8 and I know this is out of proportion insane but I mean at first it started with the moments of feeling like I was getting dumber instead of smarter, not like beating myself up but just the actual feeling of losing information Then it was the foggy memories, messed up timeline, all of which I just kinda blamed on Parasomnia Then it was the derealization, the feeling of my grip on the world was leaving me and I’ve just tried so hard to fight it The change in my thoughts I mean I’ve become borderline obsessive, bi polar at my worst and even just thinking of life differently I mean in grade 9 I even just lost so much sense of fear, I started being way more reckless than before Honestly I wouldn’t be surprised if it was what helped Mono attack my body harder I mean looking at symptoms yeah I only have the less severe ones but even loss of hearing and vision change has kinda set in I’ve heard stories of people who didn’t bother to check man and it just makes me afraid that I’m a ticking time bomb until the time someone sees me faint and not wake up Today in class I got, so, so lightheaded, and I just feel this impending doom sitting on my chest man

I would recommend you to book an appointment with a neurologist to detail your symptoms and worries regarding the potential brain tumor. He can perform extensive evaluation and diagnostic tests to determine the source of your symptoms. It is not advisable to wait until the time runs out and an early diagnosis will help you have a different outcome.

Migraines with aura can happe­n. They feel dizzy, se­e colors or spots, sweat a lot. Stress, no sle­ep, certain foods cause the­m. Try finding what triggers them. Avoid those things. Drink lots of wate­r. Relax your mind and body. This can help manage the­ episodes you have.

"Hello, I am a 23-year-old woman weighing 36 kg. I ingested 50 mg of amitriptyline all at once on Sunday, December 1, 2024, at 1 pm. After the ingestion, I slept for around 24 hours and did not experience any severe symptoms during the first 48 hours, which made me believe I was in the clear. My prescribed dose is 10 mg twice a day for amitriptyline. I have IBS. However, I am now experiencing dizziness and lightheadedness, which started today, December 3, 2024, at 8 pm. This symptom did not occur earlier, and I am concerned that it might be related to the overdose. Could this dizziness or lightheadedness be a delayed effect of the overdose? Is this symptom potentially serious, and should I take any immediate actions or seek further medical evaluation? Should I wait before resuming my regular prescribed dose of amitriptyline, or do I need to undergo any tests or monitoring before restarting my medication?"

Female | 23

It is possible to experience dizziness and lightheadedness following consumption of higher doses of amitriptyline, even in a delayed manner. Considering your weight and the amount you took, it will be important to keep an eye on these symptoms. I urge you to go to a healthcare professional for assessment as quickly as you can.

31 weeks growth scan report shows small head size 27.5 hc will it affect my babys brain development ,how to improve hc in pregnancy

Female | 24

A smaller head circumference (HC) can mean that the baby is not growing as fast as they should be. Genetics and poor food intake are some reasons why this may happen. Ensure you have a well-balanced diet throughout your pregnancy to increase HC; take plenty of nutrients too. In addition, your physician might suggest some supplements or keep a close eye on the infant’s development. Always keep in touch with your doctor so that both of you receive adequate care.

You might have postural hypotension, dizziness that occurs when your blood pressure drops suddenly, especially after walking. This may cause you to feel unsteady or dizzy. You should drink plenty of water and move slowly. You may need to change your medicine or lifestyle to get help.

I am 21 year old male I am not sleep properly in night. I have sleeping problem.

Male | 21

In this case, insufficient sleep might make you feel fatigued and irritable during the daytime. There might be several causes of this such as stress, excessive screen time before bed, or drinking of caffeine late. Practicing relaxation techniques before sleeping as well as establishing a soothing bedtime routine and not consuming caffeine in the evening will be the best ways to enhance your sleep.

I am 27 years old female , day before yesterday I fell in bathroom and hot my front and back side of the head . After that till now I'm having nausea and headache.

Female | 27

The fall might indicate a concussion, which can happen from bumps or blows to the head. Common symptoms include recurring nausea or headaches. It's important to rest and avoid activities that stimulate your mind, like watching TV or using screens. If symptoms worsen or you have trouble thinking, go to a hospital.
