I've been dealing with essential tremor and anxiety for the last 2 years along with constant head shaking. The medications I'm taking don't seem to help at all. Are there any short-term treatments or surgical options available for this condition and what would the approximate cost be
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
For persistent, medication-resistant essential tremor with head shaking and anxiety, consider short-term treatments like botulinum toxin injections or anxiety-reducing medications like benzodiazepines. Surgical options include deep brain stimulation (DBS) and focused ultrasound thalamotomy. The cost of these treatments varies widely, but DBS is generally in the range of $50,000 to $150,000.

View allI'm having this issue where clear fluid keeps leaking from my nose whenever I bend down. This has been happening for about a year now, and I can count about 56 drops each time. My ENT thinks it could be a CSF leak and suggested doing some fluid biochemistry, but I'm having trouble collecting enough fluid for the test. Do you think this suspicion makes sense? And how can I get this confirmed? Are there any risks I should be worried about? I haven't had a persistent cold or anything like that, so I'm a bit lost on what I should do next.
Yes it could be CSF Rinorrhea needs proper evaluation, if it is so needs immediate treatment.

I've been feeling a bit lightheaded and dizzy in the evenings over the last couple of days, almost like my head is wrapped up in something. It reminds me of wearing a cap or helmet. Any ideas on what might be causing this?

I'm experiencing twitching all over my body, like in my arms, legs, neck, and back. What could be causing this? Should I be worried?
Body-wide twitching can be caused by various factors, including anxiety or stress, caffeine or nicotine excess, electrolyte imbalances (potassium, magnesium, or calcium), muscle fatigue, or underlying medical conditions like multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's disease, or peripheral neuropathy, so consider consulting a healthcare professional to rule out any serious conditions and determine the best course of action.
