Question 1

I've noticed that every time I try to stand on one leg with my eyes closed, I lose my balance. Should I be worried about a nervous disorder? Everything's fine when both legs are on the ground or if I have my eyes open standing on one leg. Plus, I'm having a tough time concentrating and remembering things, like names of old friends and terms from books, which started about a year ago. Could these be related?

Accepted Answer

Post-Dengue Elevated Liver Enzymes

_Common phenomenon_: Elevated liver enzymes, especially SGPT (ALT), are common after dengue fever.

_Possible causes_:

1. _Liver inflammation_: Dengue virus can cause liver inflammation, leading to elevated liver enzymes.
2. _Hepatocyte injury_: The virus can damage liver cells, causing enzyme leaks.

_SGPT level of 168 UL_:

1. _Mildly elevated_: This level is mildly elevated, but it's essential to monitor it to ensure it returns to normal.

_SGOT level of 40 UL_:

1. _Within normal range_: This level is within the normal range (0-40 UL).

_Recommendations_:

1. _Monitor liver enzymes_: Regularly check your liver enzymes to ensure they return to normal.
2. _Follow-up with your doctor_: Schedule a follow-up appointment with your doctor to monitor your liver health.
3. _Maintain a healthy lifestyle_: Engage in regular exercise, eat a balanced diet, and avoid alcohol to support liver health.

_No specific treatment_: Usually, no specific treatment is required for elevated liver enzymes post-dengue. However, your doctor may recommend liver function tests to monitor your liver health.

Question 2

I'm really worried because the right side is paralyzed, and we found out there's a clot in the left part of the brain from an MRI. They mentioned there's a blocked artery to the left brain. Could you explain what this means and what steps we should take next? Is there a way to improve the situation, and how serious is this condition?

Accepted Answer

The MRI shows a clot in the left side of the brain, which is affecting the right side of the body, causing paralysis. Additionally, one of the arteries supplying blood to the left brain is blocked, which could be contributing to the condition.

Question 3

My mom has lumbar canal stenosis and can't walk more than 300 meters or stand for over 5-10 minutes. She's been getting painkiller injections every 6-8 months for the last 3 years but they're not helping anymore. The doctor prescribed Pregabid 50mg twice daily, Dupact 40mg once daily, and Mecobal 1500mg once daily. Will these meds actually help improve her condition or is surgery the better option at her age? Her MRI report shows the severity - just worried if meds can provide real relief or if we should consider surgery

Accepted Answer

Surgery is advised to the patient due to lumbar canal stenosis.

I've just been prescribed VenlorXR 37.5 Capsule for my vestibular migraine. I'm really worried and I'm wondering if this is a safe medication to use? Also, could you tell me about any side effects I should be aware of?
