Hello Nitin Ji,

I understand your concerns, and I’m glad you’re actively seeking information to manage your health. Tuberculosis (TB) can sometimes leave behind scar tissue in the lungs, which may cause lingering symptoms like a cough or mild respiratory issues even after the infection is treated. However, each person’s recovery can vary, and symptoms like prolonged cough and weight loss can be concerning and warrant further evaluation.

Points to Consider:

1. Duration of Symptoms: If the cough, weight loss, or other symptoms have persisted for a long time, it’s essential to rule out any active infection, other lung conditions, or complications from TB.

2. Scar Tissue: Lung scarring from TB can be permanent in some cases, but often, symptoms improve over time. If the scar tissue is minimal, symptoms might resolve on their own. In more extensive cases, it may take a few months to a year, depending on your overall health, treatment, and lifestyle factors.

3. Follow-up and Management:

   • Pulmonology Consultation: A pulmonologist can assess any existing scar tissue and suggest treatment options or lifestyle adjustments to help manage symptoms.
   • Additional Tests: If you haven’t had a recent chest X-ray, CT scan, or lung function tests, these might be helpful to assess the extent of scar tissue or any ongoing issues.
   • Nutrition and Weight Management: Given the weight loss, it’s also essential to focus on nutrition, and a specialist can help design a supportive diet plan during your recovery.

Hello Nitin,

The mentioned symptoms can be concerning and could be due to the following reasons:

1. Post-Tuberculosis Effects: After TB, some patients experience long-term fatigue or weakness, which may linger due to the toll the infection and treatments can take on the body.

2. Nutritional Deficiencies: TB treatment can sometimes lead to nutrient deficiencies, such as low vitamin B12, vitamin D, or iron, all of which can contribute to weakness, headaches, and dizziness.

3. Inner Ear or Blood Pressure Issues: Vertigo and dizziness when standing could be related to inner ear problems or low blood pressure (orthostatic hypotension), which might need a specific examination.

4. Other Infections or Underlying Conditions: A comprehensive checkup could be beneficial, as these symptoms may also be related to other conditions, like anaemia or thyroid issues.

It might be helpful to revisit your doctor to discuss these symptoms and request a full blood panel to check for deficiencies or any other underlying conditions. Rest, hydration, and a balanced diet may also help while you seek further evaluation.

Hello Nitin,

We're sorry to hear you're experiencing persistent pain in your abdomen, especially given your history with abdominal TB. It’s understandable that this would be concerning.

Since you've had abdominal TB in the past and have been treated twice, the pain could be due to a few reasons:

1. Residual Inflammation or Scarring: Sometimes, TB can leave behind scar tissue, which may cause discomfort or pain even after the infection is gone.

2. Possible Recurrence or Another Condition: Though ultrasound may not show anything, abdominal TB can sometimes require further investigation. A CT scan, MRI, or additional lab tests (like a TB PCR test) could be more definitive, especially if the symptoms are specific and persistent.

3. Gastrointestinal or Muscular Issue: Pain in the lower right abdomen can also be caused by other issues, such as intestinal or muscle-related concerns.

It would be best to consult with a gastroenterologist or an infectious disease specialist, who may suggest further tests to rule out recurrence or other conditions. In the meantime, try to avoid any activities that might strain your abdominal area, and keep track of any other symptoms that could help your doctor in diagnosis.

Hello Sharik Ji,

Convulsions, or seizures, require medical attention to identify the cause and determine the most effective treatment plan. Here are some commonly recommended treatments and steps for managing convulsions:

1. Medication: Anti-seizure medications (anticonvulsants) are the primary treatment for controlling seizures. The choice of medication depends on the type of seizure, age, health, and any underlying conditions.

2. Lifestyle Adjustments:

   • Sleep and stress management: Lack of sleep and high stress can trigger seizures. Regular sleep and stress-relief techniques (like mindfulness or meditation) can help.
   • Avoiding triggers: Certain triggers, like flashing lights, alcohol, or specific foods, can provoke seizures in some individuals.
     
     

3. Dietary Therapy: The ketogenic diet, a high-fat, low-carbohydrate diet, has been found effective, especially in children with epilepsy who do not respond to medication.

4. Surgical Intervention: In some cases, if medication is ineffective and seizures originate from a specific brain area, surgery might be recommended. Options include:

   • Resection surgery: Removing the part of the brain causing seizures.
   • Vagus nerve stimulation (VNS): Implanting a device that sends electrical impulses to the brain to help reduce seizures.
     
     

5. Supportive Therapies: Some patients benefit from therapies like cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) or occupational therapy to improve their quality of life and manage seizure-related challenges.

If you need help finding a neurologist or epilepsy specialist, we can help arrange a consultation through HexaHealth to explore personalized treatment options.

Hello Rupali Ji,

Epilepsy is a neurological disorder characterized by recurrent seizures. Managing epilepsy involves controlling seizures and improving quality of life through a combination of treatments.

Treatment Options:

1. Medications (Anti-Epileptic Drugs - AEDs):
   • The most common treatment for epilepsy. Medications help control seizures in about 70% of people.
   • It's important to take medications as prescribed and regularly monitor for any side effects.
   • Your doctor will recommend the most suitable one based on the type of seizures.
2. Lifestyle Changes:
   • Avoiding triggers like stress, lack of sleep, or certain lights and sounds can help manage seizures.
   • Regular sleep patterns and a healthy diet are essential for overall well-being.
3. Surgery:
   • In cases where medications do not adequately control seizures, surgery may be recommended. Surgical removal of the part of the brain where seizures originate can sometimes be effective.
4. Vagus Nerve Stimulation (VNS):
   • A device is implanted under the skin that sends electrical pulses to the brain to reduce seizure frequency.
5. Responsive Neurostimulation (RNS):
   • A device that detects seizure activity and delivers electrical stimulation to prevent a seizure from occurring.

Consult a Specialist:

Epilepsy treatment is highly individualized. Consult with a neurologist to explore the best treatment options based on your specific condition. You can also reach out to HexaHealth for expert consultation and guidance.
