Three Common Neurological Disorders That You
Shouldnt Ignore
2
An Overview
  • Brain diseases or neurological disorders affect
    millions of people every year! The scariest part
    is that many people dont even know that they are
    suffering from any brain or neurological
    disorder.
  • Knowing symptoms of brain disorders is extremely
    important for everyone, as it leads you to
    consult a neurologist, resulting in the right
    diagnosis and effective treatment.

Following Are Some Most Common Neurological
Disorders That You Should Know
  • Headache
  • Stroke
  • Seizures

Headache
  • Seems common, right? Certainly, headache is an
    extremely common problem but sometimes leads to a
    very big problem. Headaches are of different
    types including cluster headaches, tension
    headaches, and migraines.
  • Clearly, not every headache is serious but if you
    are experiencing headaches repeatedly then it is
    a straight sign of seeking medical help as it may
    be a symptom of infection, tumor, temporal
    arteritis, and high blood pressure.

Stroke
  • According to a recent survey report, stroke
    affects more than 795,000 Americans every year.
    Well, its quite difficult to anticipate the
    early signs of a stroke, but you may experience
  • Blurred vision
  • Dizziness or loss of balance
  • Severe headache
  • Numbness or weakness of the arm, face, or leg
  • Confusion, trouble speaking, or understanding
  • A brain stroke can also occur during the
    cardiovascular procedure. In order to minimize
    the risk of brain damage, doctors use embolic
    cerebral protection devices during cardiac
    surgeries.

Seizures
  • This problem affects every 1 person in 100
    Americans. Some common symptoms of seizures are
  • Loss of consciousness or awareness
  • Uncontrollable jerking movements
  • Cognitive symptoms, like fear, anxiety, or deja
    vu
  • Temporary confusion
  • There can be many reasons behind a seizure
    including high fever, low blood sodium, lack of
    sleep, head trauma, and over-consumption of
    alcohol. Well, early treatment can help control
    the condition and avoid long-term complications
    like brain damage and memory loss.
