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.

Taking thyroxine100cmg now TSH 0.04--low T3, T4 normal should I change dosage

Hello Nandwani Ji,

Your TSH level is low at 0.04, while your T3 and T4 levels are normal. This could indicate that the thyroxine dose you're taking (100 mcg) might be too high. However, adjustments to thyroid medication should only be made after consulting your doctor or endocrinologist. They will consider your symptoms, lab results, and medical history to determine if a dosage change is needed. Self-adjusting your dose could lead to complications.

Hello Sudipta Ji,

We are sorry to hear about your father’s condition. Recovery after an ischemic stroke can take time and often requires a multidisciplinary approach.

  1. Consult a neurologist or stroke specialist at a reputed hospital. They may re-evaluate his treatment plan and suggest additional therapies.

  2. Stroke patients often require physical therapy, occupational therapy, and speech therapy to regain movement, balance, and communication skills. Intensive rehabilitation programs can sometimes help improve outcomes.

  3. Focus on his nutrition and hydration and prevent complications like infections, bedsores, or blood clots, which are common in bedridden patients.

We wish him a speedy recovery!

Hello Ramachandran ji,

Black spots on the legs can be caused by various factors, such as hyperpigmentation, skin infections, or poor circulation. It's important to monitor for any accompanying symptoms, such as pain, swelling, or redness.

For general care:

  • Keep the area clean and moisturized.
  • Apply sunscreen to prevent further pigmentation.
  • If the spots persist or worsen, consult a dermatologist for an accurate diagnosis and specific treatment.
