I always feel a lightheadedness with pain at base of my skull which sometimes goes to back of the ears. My neck remains stiff too. I got rhinitis allergy once at 2019, my nose feels congested too. It's disturbing, i feel lack of focus in studies with this. Is this ear issue or neurological or bone? Whom should I meet ENT? or orthopaedic or neuro surgeon?
My mom has SCA (Spinocerebellar Ataxia). She sometimes doesn't realise that she needs to get fresh or has pressure to get fresh and dirty the clothes in that case. Can some medicines be given to avoid this?
On the contrary sometimes she gets feeling that she has to pass stool 3-4 times a day while she
doesn't get fresh
My mother developed sudden slurred speech and numbness on one side of the face, so we took her to a nearby multispecialty hospital immediately. She was evaluated by a neurologist, who ordered an MRI brain with MR angiography (report attached) and an ECG. The neurologist said there was no major acute abnormality on the MRI, advised her to continue her current medications (Tazloc 40 and Zapiz 0.25), and recommended a cardiology review with echocardiogram, lipid profile, fasting blood sugar, and HbA1c tomorrow.
However, her slurred speech and facial numbness are still present. If the MRI does not show an acute stroke, what could explain these persistent symptoms? Could this still represent a TIA/small stroke not visible on imaging?she had Bell's palsy (she had Bell's palsy 3 years ago but got cured), or another neurological condition? What additional evaluation or management would you recommend?
My grandfather's age is 84 and he has been taking oxcarbazepine 300 mg tablet(oxcarbazepine colour yellow fcp and titanium dioxide ip) but still today his condition worsened when he was taking tea and he experienced another seizure for 2-3 mintues. He is already a brain patient from 1992 (at that time he had a brain stroke and due to no medical advancement he doesn't get a treatment at that time) but in 2012 he started getting seizures and he had operated for hernia in 2022 and still getting medicine for urine and his epilepsy medicines brand recently changed by pharmacist due to unavailability in area...please suggest what should we do now to keep him healthy. And he was also having problems while breathing yesterday
