View allI'm really struggling with migraine headaches that I've been dealing with for over 15 years now. I usually take Naprosen when the pain becomes unbearable, but I used to take Rizact before. I haven't been able to figure out what's triggering them since no specific food seems to be causing it. I do notice that lack of sleep or disturbed sleep sometimes leads to a headache. What can I do to avoid these headaches or stop them right when they start?
because of stress& lack of sleep

I'm really worried about recognizing the symptoms of a stroke and what the treatment process involves. How quickly do I need to get treatment if I suspect someone is having a stroke, and could you explain how the whole treatment process works?
Symptoms of a stroke include sudden numbness or weakness in the face, arm, or leg, especially on one side of the body, sudden confusion, trouble speaking or understanding speech, sudden trouble seeing in one or both eyes, sudden trouble walking, dizziness, loss of balance or coordination, and sudden severe headache with no known cause. The treatment for a stroke depends on whether it is ischemic (caused by a blockage in a blood vessel) or hemorrhagic (caused by bleeding in the brain). In the case of an ischemic stroke, the most common treatment is the administration of tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) within 4.5 hours of the onset of symptoms to dissolve the clot. Another treatment option is a mechanical thrombectomy, where a catheter is used to remove the clot. For hemorrhagic strokes, treatment may involve surgery to repair the blood vessel or reduce pressure in the brain. The time needed for treatment varies depending on the individual case and the type of stroke. It is crucial to seek immediate medical attention if you suspect a stroke, as early treatment can help minimize brain damage and improve outcomes. Remember, time is of the essence when it comes to treating a stroke, so do not delay in seeking medical help if you or someone you know is experiencing symptoms of a stroke.

My brother has been taking Tegretol CR 200 and Frisium 10mg tablets for his fits since he was 5 years old, but now we can't find the Tegretol CR 200 in stores or online. What can we use as a substitute for it? We really can't afford for him to skip his medicine, so I'd really appreciate any advice.
better consult your neurologist as soon as possible
