I'm a bit confused about the vitamin prescription I got for my nerve issues. The doctor said to take it once a day for two weeks, but didn't specify the strength. Should I be looking for something like 100mg? Any clues on what I should do?

View allI'm having this issue with numbness on the left side of my cheeks that's been going on for about four months now. We've been to different hospitals, both for eye and dental check-ups, and everything seemed fine there. Then, we visited a general medicine doctor at Apollo, who suggested I take Gabantin every evening and get a Methylcobalamin injection weekly. After a week of that treatment, things felt better, and I didn't have any symptoms for a month. But now, the numbness is back, and it's been bothering me for the last two weeks. Do you think seeing a neurologist would be the right step to take next? I'm just not sure who to turn to at this point. Any advice would be really appreciated!

I recently had a seizure and even though my ECG came back normal, the doctor now wants me to get a 2D echo. Its quite expensive, so I'm wondering if it's really necessary. Can you help me understand why this test might be needed?
ECHO as a prognostic test is advised

My friend's been having this weird issue with her eyes flickering and randomly shutting for around 30 seconds, and its been going on for over 6 months. She uses reading glasses but her prescription hasn't changed. The neuro psychiatrist we saw prescribed serta, etilaam, and arpizol for 10 days, but it hasn't really made any difference. What do you recommend we do next?
That unusual,get your Sr,Electrolytes get done and visit Physician for appropriate management
