Question 1

My brother has swelling in his head due to a blood clot in his brain. One doctor recommended surgery to control the swelling, but another said medication would be enough. Right now, he seems physically fine but is very weak internally and has lost a lot of his memory he can't name simple objects like a fan or spoon and doesn't even remember the difference between singular and plural. The doctors say it's a case of forgetfulness. How long will his recovery take, and will he ever regain his memory like before?

Accepted Answer

Recovery time after a brain blood clot can be variable, ranging from months to even longer. While some individuals regain most of their memory and cognitive function, the extent of recovery depends on the location, size, and duration of the clot, as well as the individual's overall health and response to treatment. The memory loss your brother is experiencing, which may be described as forgetfulness, could be a symptom of temporary brain damage or a sign of ongoing brain function recovery

Sometimes, a baseline test is performed in persons who are at risk of getting a concussion such as athletes.

Question 3

I'm really curious and a bit worried about something I've noticed. Sometimes, my palm just starts burning out of nowhere, and the only thing that helps is holding something cold. Do you have any idea why this might be happening?

Accepted Answer

Vit B12 deficiency, Calcium deficiency or any neuropathy can lead to this symptoms

Can I take Clopitab along with antidepressants like Amixide H or Zaptra 12.5? My neurologist just stopped Clopitab, and now I'm only on Betacap and Zaptra. Is that okay, or should I be worried about any interactions?
