Why is my memory and concentration affected post-snus cessation?

Patient's Query

I stopped take snus permanently 2 year ago after that I have brain problem like memory problem concentrate anything not recall anything and everything is going wrong feel like mad no recall past activity

Answered by Dr. Gurneet Sawhney

When you quit using snus, your brain had to adjust to the changes. It's possible that your symptoms of memory issues and difficulty concentrating could be related to that adjustment period. Your brain is a complex organ, and sometimes it needs time to bounce back. It's essential to stay positive and patient with yourself. In the meantime, I recommend incorporating brain-boosting activities like puzzles, reading, and staying physically active. If these symptoms persist, it might be a good idea to consult a neurologist for a thorough evaluation.

Now the doctor has suggested few medicines which I think is affecting her mental health.

She is using these medicine since two weeks, before she doesn't have these issue. She only had a migraine and she once had a spot in her right eye which goes after a week. But she has a small lump behind her ear which doctor mentioned it as a swellon nerve. Kindly please suggest is she getting correct treatment because her Condition is getting worse day by day in terms of mental health. She has a family history of migraine her mother and sisters.

Female | 34

Propranolol and topiramate sometimes result in symptoms such as drowsiness, lightheadedness, mood changes, and an inability to concentrate. You or she must discuss this with the neurologist who prescribed these drugs because they could fix this issue by adjusting dosages or prescribing different medications that would be effective against migraines without affecting mental stability. If the lump located at the back of her ear is not yet diagnosed then it should also get checked into by the doctor to find out if there might be any connection with other signs.

I am 22 years old male I have headache in back side of head and stiff neck somedays I feel drowsiness all the day and headache is severe Sometimes it hurts very bad

Male | 22

It seems like you might be having tension headaches. These usually cause aching at the back of the head and make your neck feel stiff. Another symptom is always feeling tired and wanting to sleep. Ensure that you rest well, manage stress and maintain a good posture habit. In case the problem persists then I would advise you see a doctor who will give further guidance after examining you.

I have pain near my one side temple region

Female | 18

Pain localized to one side of your temple may stem from various factors, including tension, migraines, or sinus issues. Often, accompanying symptoms such as sensitivity to light or sound can indicate a migraine, while pressure around the nose may suggest sinus problems. Staying hydrated, managing stress, and practicing relaxation techniques can help alleviate discomfort. However, it’s essential to keep track of your symptoms and consult a healthcare professional for a thorough evaluation. They can provide personalized care and recommend the most suitable treatment options to address your concerns effectively.

I always feel my body shaking, hot and get confused thinking, what is wrong with me?

Male | 18

You are likely having some of the panic attack symptoms. In such moments, your body may tremble and be hot; you could also have a feeling of confusion. Panic attacks may be caused by factors such as stress, anxiety, or strong emotions. To help, try slow, deep breaths, calming thoughts, and talking to someone you trust about how you're feeling.
