I'm really worried because the blood carrying nerve to the brain is blocked. I'm experiencing symptoms like blurred vision, a severe headache, slurred speech, and mild unconsciousness. Do you think surgery is necessary in this situation?

The symptoms described, including blurred vision, severe headache, slurred speech, and mild unconsciousness, indicate a potential medical emergency, such as a stroke or transient ischemic attack (TIA), due to a blockage in the blood vessels supplying the brain; immediate medical attention is crucial, and surgery may be necessary, but a thorough evaluation by a neurologist or neurosurgeon is required to determine the best course of treatment.

Question

I'm experiencing these weird vibration-like shock waves that go from my left shoulder to my left hand. It's been happening on and off for about a month now. Im a bit concerned and curious about what might be causing it. Any ideas on what could be going on?

Question

I'm really struggling with cervical spondylosis and loss of cervical lordosis. My MRI report indicates some serious stuff like a C5-C6 disc with an annular fissure and diffuse posterior bulge, and it's even got central herniation pressing on my spinal cord and affecting both neural foramina. There's this hyperintense signal on the left side of my spinal cord suggesting myomalacia. Also, the C6-C7 disc has its own issues with another fissure and bulge, plus a right paracentral herniation affecting my spinal cord and right C7 nerve, again encroaching on both neural foramina. With all this, I get this annoying tingling in my legs and nerve pain in one of my right-hand fingers. Sitting for long periods just makes my entire spine hurt. I'm curious if there's any Ayurvedic treatment out there that could completely cure this. Also, would I be able to handle any job with my condition? I've tried physiotherapy treatments like IFT, ultra cervical traction, and steam for months, which seemed to help for a while. But the pain is back. Should I keep doing the same physiotherapy again, or is there anything else you'd recommend?

Question

I've been experiencing this strange sensation like a needle poking in my back for a few seconds at a time. It's not really painful, but it's definitely noticeable and a bit unsettling. Should I be worried about this?
