Patient's Query

My grandfather age is 69 and he has second stroke in last 2 month and he unable to move and speak but in progress and today his bp is high what is the reason for high bp please doctor give me your suggestion

Answered by Dr. Gurneet Sawhney

It is common for people who have had strokes to experience high blood pressure, especially after a stroke. The stroke might have altered the brain areas that regulate blood pressure. As a result, the body may struggle to control it. Hypertension can also exacerbate the severity of strokes. Thus, advise him to eat foods that are low in salt content, take the medications he has been given strictly, and get enough sleep to regulate the levels of this condition.

Migraine through out day on and off

Male | 16

Yes, migraines can occur on and off throughout the day. Migraine attacks are characterized by severe headaches often accompanied by other symptoms like nausea, sensitivity to light, or aura. The duration and frequency of migraines vary among individuals, and some may experience multiple episodes in a day. If you're experiencing frequent or severe migraines, it's advisable to consult a healthcare professional for proper evaluation and management.

I’m a 26 year old female who is a diagnosed epileptic. I have been taking 200mg of lamotrigine since January. However I’m still having frequent seizures and cluster seizures so I’m looking to see if I could get an additional medication prescribed alongside the lamotrigine to support my symptoms and gain more control over my seizures.

Female | 26

It’s important to tell a neurologist about those symptoms again. Sometimes taking another medicine such as levetiracetam or valproate can help to bring seizures under control. These drugs act in different ways to help lower the chances of having a seizure. Your doctor will be able to advise you better on what treatment plan will suit you most appropriately.

Hello, I am suffering from muscle weakness of hands and legs for 2 weeks. 4 days ago doctor confirmed that I have GBS (AMAN) by NCS and CSF study test. But my physical condition is better than most other patient. I am explaining my conditions to you : - I can walk but slowly and not like normal me - I can stand up from sitting on the bed - I can't stand up from sitting on the floor - I can't stand up from sitting on the sofa - I can lift a highest 500 ml bottle with hands - I can eat like a normal person but I have to give a little pressure in the neck - I can't cough with the full strength My condition is improving a little day by day. Doctor haven't suggested IVIG or Plasma exchange for the treatment. They said I will be cured by only Physiotherapy and Exercise. What are your comments about my physical condition ? Can you suggest me something for that will help me to recover soon ? Thanks is Advance...

Male | 22

This may cause weakness in the muscles of the hands and legs. I am glad that you are getting better. What has been recommended by your doctor is very important- physiotherapy and exercise. These two things can strengthen your muscles and help you regain your ability to move around. Ensure that you strictly adhere to what they say and remember that healing will take time so don’t get tired of waiting.

It's the middle of the night and I keep stretching my legs my arms and everything continuously and it's driving me crazy and I don't seem to fall asleep what's wrong with me??

Female | 15

You might be feeling the restless legs syndrome. It is a kind of disorder that can lead to you wanting to move your legs (or even hands) all the time, especially during the night. It can greatly affect the process of falling asleep. Restless legs syndrome is usually due to low iron, numerous medications, or other health conditions. Reaching the reason beneath it and then applying some life changes can help. Visit a health specialist for a personalized answer.

Hi, Doctor. I am 14 years old. I eat gingko biloba to improve memory but I seem to be allergic to it. what should I do, can I take these two pills (Allergic medical )at the same time or alternately? What are the doctor's recommended supplements that I can eat to improve memory? Best greats, sharifah

Female | 14

It's great that you're looking to improve your memory, but it's best not to take anything you're allergic to. Rash, itching, or even difficulty breathing can occur as allergic reactions to ginkgo biloba. You should stop taking it if you are allergic. Instead, maybe try omega-3 fatty acids, vitamin D, or magnesium. These are good for memory too.

Hello I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to discuss some ongoing health concerns that have persisted since I experienced cerebral meningitis a few years ago. Initially, the treatment process faced challenges, leading to subsequent neurological issues. Although most aspects of my health have improved, I continue to grapple with a specific matter related to urinary and bowel control. Following the meningitis treatment, I encountered difficulty using the restroom, leading to the use of a catheter for approximately three weeks. Subsequently, once the catheter was removed, I experienced challenges in retaining urine, necessitating the use of diapers, particularly during the night. Presently, after five years, while I have achieved some improvement in urinary control, there are instances, especially during the night, when I still face issues with involuntary urination. Additionally, I find it challenging to maintain control over bowel movements. There is a correlation between retaining urine and the urge to defecate, often resulting in occasional accidents. This situation has led to a degree of stress, particularly when venturing outside. I am reaching out to seek your expert advice on whether these issues may be treatable or if there are potential avenues for improvement. Your insights and recommendations regarding any further evaluations or treatments would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time and consideration. I look forward to your guidance on managing and addressing these persistent challenges. Sincerely,

Female | 30

You need to consult with a urologist or neurologist specialist for these disorders. They can assess your symptoms and whether further treatment is needed.

But my memory issues will take how much time to resolve after Inter parenchymal bleed it's been already 2 months I haven't forgotten completely but I can't literally recall my past events and remember new events accordingly everything I miss out the dates and times

Male | 23

You are worried about your memory after bleeding within the brain. It is not uncommon for people to have these types of problems with their memories following such events. Some of the symptoms may involve having trouble remembering things that have occurred recently or forgetting appointments altogether; also clock watching could be difficult too. This can affect anyone at any age.

Actually after sneezing after few seconds I am unable to stand and my body is not responding and I am not able to move my hands and legs.

Male | 20

You might have something we call a vasovagal syncope. Some of your blood flow may change for a short time when you sneeze this is what causes the feeling of faintness and may interfere with your ability to move your hands and legs for a while. Try sitting down or lying if you feel like sneezing. Also, make sure to drink enough water and have sufficient rest always. If it happens frequently or becomes more severe, see a doctor.

Male | 59

I recommend that she should visit a neurologist. In MRI, the T2W/FLAIR images exhibited multiple small white matter hyperintensities in the bilateral frontal and parietal periventricular and subcortical areas. They suggest chronic small vessel ischemic change. Spinal tap water removal may not be the recommended treatment for her symptoms.
