Doctor 1

Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors

It is 30 point questionnaire to assess the cognition level of a person. It includes assessment of orientation to time (5 points), orientation to place (5 points), registration (3 points), attention and calculation (5 points), recall (3 points), language (2 points), repetition (1 point) and complex commands (6 points). Any score of 24 or above indicates normal cognition. Below this, scores can indicate severe (≤9 points), moderate (10–18 points) or mild (19–23 points) cognitive impairment.

I've been feeling really off lately. My head gets super heavy whenever I start talking, though it's weird because it doesn't actually hurt. Sometimes my hands start shaking, and I've been feeling pretty dizzy too. During conversations, my mind just goes completely blank for a bit, which is really worrying. There's also a bit of neck pain happening. I've been on some tablets for about 20 days now, but I'm not seeing any improvements. I've had an MRI, EEG, and my thyroid levels checked, but everything came back normal. What could be going on here? Would love to hear your thoughts.

I have cervical canal stenosis and already had surgery but still dealing with numbness in my legs and can't walk without support. Is homeopathy a good option for me to get better? What treatments would you suggest?

It is a mechanical problem. Spinal cord is pressed from inside. Surgery is only option. Bit it needs to be done precisely. Homeo won't help. Meet an orthopaedic surgeon who specialises in spine.
