Answered by Dr. Gurneet Sawhney

Epilepsy can be challenging at this time. It’s worrying that you have a few seizures each year. It may be a good idea to see a neurologist. They can help work out whether it’s safe for you to get pregnant while controlling your fitness. You need to strike the right balance for yourself and your unborn child too.

I recommend taking the medication as prescribed to you by your doctor. But if you experience any side effects from it or want to go for some other treatment, you can talk to your neurologist. He will suggest some other treatments based on your condition like lifestyle changes, CBT or acupuncture etc. Also, follow-ups is must.

31 weeks growth scan report shows small head size 27.5 hc will it affect my babys brain development ,how to improve hc in pregnancy

Female | 24

A smaller head circumference (HC) can mean that the baby is not growing as fast as they should be. Genetics and poor food intake are some reasons why this may happen. Ensure you have a well-balanced diet throughout your pregnancy to increase HC; take plenty of nutrients too. In addition, your physician might suggest some supplements or keep a close eye on the infant’s development. Always keep in touch with your doctor so that both of you receive adequate care.

Male | 69

Your grandfather might be experiencing tongue problems acquired after a recent stroke. This is the term for dysphagia, which is difficulty in swallowing and speaking. Amazingly, he can now open his mouth and move his tongue slowly. For him to make a full recovery, speech therapy might be useful. Exercises and techniques help in the aspect of toning control of the tongue and swallowing, adding to the general treatment of dysphagia.

Male | 69

It is normal to have high blood pressure after a stroke. These blood pressure rises could be because of the brain damage that regulates the level of pressure. Furthermore, hypertension is often asymptomatic however it can cause additional strokes. Ensure that he takes his medication, eats well, and goes for check-ups regularly.
