I'm a little worried because I've been experiencing these brief blackouts where I suddenly can't see anything for a few seconds, and then I feel extremely weak afterward. I went to an eye doctor, and they suggested I get a neuro check-up. Could this be something serious, and what might be causing these symptoms?

View allMy wife has been dealing with TB Meningitis for the last two years. She completed the TB medication course, but she's still struggling with a lot of neural and back pain. An MRI showed signs of myelitis and some changes in her spinal cord, which has us really concerned. The doctors say that while the TB bacteria is gone, the damage might be beyond repair and her chances of recovery are slim at best. They've recommended physiotherapy and visiting pain management centers for her current pain. For about a year and a half, shes been on Gabapin 300 and Gabantip AT. Can you suggest any pain management centers, or maybe share your thoughts on any potential for recovery?

I'm 22 and have epilepsy. I've been on Valparin Chrono 300 and Frisium 10mg for the past year, and before that, I was taking Levesam 500mg for five years. I'm just wondering if these medications could cause any issues when I want to have kids in the future. Could they affect my ability to conceive or the health of the baby?
There is no such problem you can have equally healthy babies

That's a concerning sensation. Here are some possible explanations: *Possible Causes* 1. *Anxiety or Stress*: High levels of stress or anxiety can cause feelings of mental fogginess, heaviness, or "freezing." 2. *Depression*: Depression can lead to feelings of emptiness, mental fatigue, and heaviness. 3. *Fatigue or Burnout*: Prolonged physical or mental exhaustion can cause mental fogginess and heaviness. 4. *Dehydration or Electrolyte Imbalance*: Dehydration or electrolyte imbalances can cause feelings of mental fogginess, fatigue, and heaviness. 5. *Sleep Disorders*: Sleep apnea, insomnia, or other sleep disorders can cause mental fogginess, fatigue, and heaviness. 6. *Nutritional Deficiencies*: Deficiencies in vitamins like B12, iron, or magnesium can cause mental fogginess, fatigue, and heaviness. 7. *Medication Side Effects*: Certain medications, such as sedatives or antidepressants, can cause mental fogginess, fatigue, and heaviness as side effects. *What to Do* 1. *Stay Hydrated*: Drink plenty of water throughout the day to ensure proper hydration. 2. *Get Enough Sleep*: Aim for 7-8 hours of sleep each night to help your brain function properly. 3. *Exercise Regularly*: Engage in moderate-intensity exercise, like brisk walking, to help reduce stress and improve mood. 4. *Practice Stress-Reducing Techniques*: Try relaxation techniques like deep breathing, meditation, or yoga to help manage stress and anxiety. 5. *Seek Medical Attention*: If you're experiencing persistent or severe symptoms, consult with your doctor to rule out any underlying medical conditions. 6. *Consider Cognitive Training*: Engage in mentally stimulating activities, like puzzles, brain teasers, or learning a new skill, to help improve cognitive function. 7. *Get Enough Nutrients*: Ensure you're getting a balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean proteins, and healthy fats.
