Hello Doctor, I had a single seizure in June 2025 and have been taking my medication regularly since then. I have not had any seizures after that. I am planning a trip to Ladakh in a few months, which involves long train travel and high altitude. I want to know if it is safe for me to travel in these conditions, especially considering sleep changes and altitude. Also, could you please guide me on what precautions I should take during the trip, what symptoms I should watch for, and what I should do if a seizure happens while traveling? Should I carry any emergency medication or take any additional precautions? Thank you.
Doctor, I am experiencing a daily sleep disturbance. Every morning between 3:00 and 4:00 AM, I wake up with a distinct feeling of heaviness and numbness localized to the back of my head. The sensation is quite disruptive and prevents me from getting a full night's rest. I have noticed a specific pattern: when I wake up and transition from lying down to a seated position, the heaviness and numbness start relieving slowly and after around 1 hr I start feeling better. But if I sleep try to sleep just after getting up that head heaviness remains there.
I’ve been experiencing numbness in a specific area of my index finger for a little over 24 hours. The numbness is localized to the lower part of the finger (closer to the base/palm side), rather than the entire finger.
There hasn’t been any obvious injury, swelling, or discoloration. I don’t have pain, but the sensation hasn’t improved since it started. It's not fully numb.. there is some sensation but it's not completely normal.
Does anyone know what could be the reason? Is this something serious? I'd be grateful for any insights on the matter. Thank You.
From past 4 days I have been having too much neck pain and I guess it is related to bad posture as I have a screen usage of 7-8 hrs a day.But from yesterday I have been having dizziness in my eyes and it increases in evening and especially when I see lights in dark places.I also have eyes pains sometimes.I have checked up with spine doctor he gave some medicines and told neck pain would be fine with it.I also consultated with opthalmologist and she told the eye dizziness could be due to neck.But what could be the reason of eyes dizziness.As neck pain could be related to bad posture.
