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 allMy friend had a bike accident 8 months ago and got a brain injury with a blood clot. Even though the clot got better, he still has memory and behavior problems and is on medication. Now he's been diagnosed with a fistula and needs surgery. Is it safe to try homeopathy for the fistula while he's still taking his brain injury meds?
Homeopathy is not recommended for fistulas with history of trauma—best to go with surgical correction after neuro clearance.

I'm dealing with a 103-degree fever since yesterday and struggling with unbearable headaches. I've been diagnosed with migraines and was prescribed Amicon 25. The doctor has now added antibiotics and Dolo 650 for the fever. Given that I'm a breastfeeding mom, I'm really concerned. Can I safely take Amicon 25 along with these other medications? The headaches are making it hard to sleep, and I just want to make sure everything's okay for me and my baby.
it's safe

I've been having this weird tickling and tingling feeling in my lower belly and left leg at night for about a year now. It seems to come and go in waves. I also mentioned it to my doctor once and they said something about OLD. I'm starting to get a little worried. Do you have any idea what's going on? Could it be related to the OLD or something else entirely?
may be related to a variety of conditions such as nerve compression, spinal issues, vascular problems, or COPD. Its important to consult with a healthcare provider to get a clear diagnosis and receive appropriate treatment. In the meantime, managing your posture during sleep, reducing stress, and ensuring proper circulation through exercise can help alleviate symptoms.
