My brother has swelling in his head due to a blood clot in his brain. One doctor recommended surgery to control the swelling, but another said medication would be enough. Right now, he seems physically fine but is very weak internally and has lost a lot of his memory he can't name simple objects like a fan or spoon and doesn't even remember the difference between singular and plural. The doctors say it's a case of forgetfulness. How long will his recovery take, and will he ever regain his memory like before?

Recovery time after a brain blood clot can be variable, ranging from months to even longer. While some individuals regain most of their memory and cognitive function, the extent of recovery depends on the location, size, and duration of the clot, as well as the individual's overall health and response to treatment. The memory loss your brother is experiencing, which may be described as forgetfulness, could be a symptom of temporary brain damage or a sign of ongoing brain function recovery

I'm a bit worried now because I felt okay waking up yesterday, but the dizziness has lingered all day. Im curious to know what type of doctor I should see for this. Any ideas?

The probable causes of teeth grinding or bruxism during sleep are: 1. *Stress and anxiety*: Tension can lead to teeth grinding. 2. *Misaligned teeth or bite*: Dental issues can cause teeth to grind. 3. *Sleep disorders*: Sleep apnea, insomnia, or restless leg syndrome. 4. *Habits*: Caffeine, nicotine, or alcohol consumption before bedtime. 5. *Medical conditions*: Parkinson's disease, Huntington's disease, or gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). Consult a dentist or a healthcare professional to rule out underlying conditions and explore possible treatments.
