I'm having this weird tingling sensation in my left eye, almost like when you feel a pulse or beat in a nerve. My eyelids twitch a bit when it happens too. It's been going on for about 45 days now. I'm wondering if this might be what we call "aankh fadakna" in Hindi. What could be causing this?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
This sensation you are experiencing in your left eye, known as eyelid twitching or myokymia, is usually benign and can be caused by stress, fatigue, caffeine, or eye strain. To help alleviate this symptom, you can try using lubricating eye drops and practicing stress-relief techniques. Additionally, you can take a supplement containing magnesium to help relax the muscles.

I've been having some serious concerns about my health. I experienced seizures three times within just 15 minutes, which was pretty terrifying. I lost consciousness and then stopped breathing for a bit. Thankfully, I was rushed to the hospital, and I came to after around 10 hours. I had a CT and MRI scan done, and the doctors said it's a calcified granuloma. I'm really anxious about how long I need to stay on medication. Is this thing entirely curable, or is it something I should be worried about in terms of being life-threatening? And, even while on the meds, is there a chance I might have seizures again?
Based on your diagnosis of calcified granuloma, which is typically a benign condition, the duration of medication depends on your doctor's guidance, but usually, anticonvulsants are prescribed for 1-2 years after a seizure; while the condition is generally not life-threatening, it's crucial to adhere to your medication regimen to minimize the risk of future seizures, which is estimated to be around 20-30% even with treatment, so regular follow-ups with your neurologist are essential to monitor your condition and adjust your treatment plan as needed.

I recently got my Vitamin B12 test done, and my level came back as 102. My cardiologist suggested taking Pregaba M 75. I wanted to check if this is actually meant to help increase B12 levels because when I searched online, it seemed more related to neuro and seizures. Could you advise if I should take this medication for my B12 deficiency?
The medication Pregaba M 75 is not typically used for increasing Vitamin B12 levels. It is commonly prescribed for neurological conditions and seizures. To increase your Vitamin B12 levels, you can take supplements such as Neurobion Forte, which contains Vitamin B12 along with other B vitamins. You can take one tablet of Neurobion Forte once a day after meals.
