My Answers

I am experiencing twitching in my eyes. Is it a neurological problem?
Tremor is an involuntary, rhythmic muscle contraction leading to shaking movements in one or more parts of the body. It is a common movement disorder that most often affects the hands but can also occur in the arms, head, vocal cords, torso, and legs. Tremor may be intermittent (occurring at separate times, with breaks) or constant. It can occur sporadically (on its own) or happen as a result of another disorder. Tremor is most common among middle-aged and older adults, although it can occur at any age. The disorder generally affects men and women equally. Tremor is not life threatening and typically are caused by a problem in the deep parts of the brain that control movements. Most types of tremor have no known cause, although there are some forms that appear to be inherited and run in families. Tremor can occur on its own or be a symptom associated with a number of neurological disorders, including: • multiple sclerosis • stroke • traumatic brain injury • neurodegenerative diseases that affect parts of the brain (e.g., Parkinson's disease). Some other known causes can include: • the use of certain medicines (particular asthma medication, amphetamines, caffeine, corticosteroids, and drugs used for certain psychiatric and neurological disorders) • alcohol abuse or withdrawal • mercury poisoning • overactive thyroid • liver or kidney failure • anxiety or panic.

My child is getting convulsions past 2 nights. What should I do?
Very important question, those convulsions are called febrile seizure, also known as a fever fit or febrile convulsion, is a seizure associated with a high body temperature but without any serious underlying health issue. They most commonly occur in children between the ages of 6 months and 5 years. Most seizures are less than five minutes in duration and the child is completely back to normal within sixty minutes of the event. You will need to have to see a doctor as soon as possible to exclude other possibilities such as infections and metabolic issues. READ MORE
