What is TBI and its meaning and function?

Patient's Query

What exactly does TBI stand for and what is it's meaning and function?

Answered by Dr. Gurneet Sawhney

Traumatic Brain Injury occurs when there's a sudden jolt or blow to the head, leading to damage in the brain tissue. This can happen due to accidents, falls, or sports injuries. The effects of TBI can vary from mild (like a brief change in mental status) to severe (resulting in long-term complications). If you suspect a TBI, it's crucial to seek medical help promptly. Remember to rest, avoid activities that can worsen the injury, and follow advice from your neurologist. They may recommend imaging tests or neurological assessments to understand the extent of the injury and plan the best course of action.

My left hand is numb and sometimes have a tingling feeling, before it was from finger tips to wrists but it extended till elbows. I consulted a doc and he said that there is no sign of nerve injury as there is sweat in my hand. He said that if there is a nerve problem my hand will not sweat. He also said that it maybe because i may have it some bone or nerve unknowingly, and did not prescribe any medication. However the numbness is still there for nearly 2 days and it has extended till my shoulder joint. I have no feeling in my left hand. No pain no sense no feeling.

You’re having a health issue in your left hand, as notice of the deadness is still staying up to your shoulder. This might result from a compressed nerve or issues in your neck or shoulder. It is essential to make a doctor’s condition, request these tests, and do imaging tests such as MRI. Do not put off these symptoms.

You should immediately consult a neurologist or neurosurgeon to know the brain tumor size and type. The treatment options will vary based on the location, size, and type of tumor, among others. Only the best doctor can design the most suitable treatment plan.

I am a 43-year-old woman experiencing sleeplessness. I consulted a neurologist who gave me sleeping pills, but I wasn't interested in taking them. I tried setting a proper sleep schedule and reduced screen time, but there have been no improvements.

Female | 43

Setting a proper sleep schedule and reducing screen time are good steps, but sometimes additional help is needed. Since the neurologist's treatment didn't suit you, I recommend visiting a sleep specialist. They can provide personalized advice and alternative treatments to improve your sleep.

Head pain problems back said too painful my self

Male | 36

Your head hurts and your back too. This can be a result of nervousness, worry, and you might not even notice your sitting or looking at a screen. Give yourself time to walk around, stretch, and perform relaxation methods. You can also apply a warm compress to the painful areas and exercise walking Somewhat slow, easy walking, and jogging are also good for the body. And if the pain is still there, let a specialist examine it.

Why I am feeling suddenly dizziness

Female | 24

Dizziness can make you feel like things are spinning or you're off balance. It can happen if you stand up too quickly, are dehydrated, or get up after lying down. Sometimes, it's due to low blood sugar. Other reasons could be problems in the inner ear or even stress. To help, sit or lie down, drink water, and eat if your blood sugar is low. If it persists, talk to a healthcare provider so they can figure out the cause.

Can you please suggest some nontropics medicines which can remove Amyloid Plaques from the brain ?

Male | 53

Amyloid plaques in the brain are associated with memory issues and confusion which are typical of Alzheimer's disease. Nontropic drugs which are the drugs being studied for their possible use in removing the plaques are still in the research phase. Currently, there isn't a particular medicine that can do this. Consuming a balanced diet, exercising regularly, and stimulating your mind are all great ways to support brain health.
