The health of our minds is highly important, and cannot be neglected. Here are some signs that indicate that you may need to see a neurologist:
Migraines
If you get migraines often, you should try seeing a neurologist. This could because of abnormal brain activity, and the trigeminal nerve.
Dizziness
If you experience vertigo often and have trouble keeping balance, it could be a sign of BPPV. BPPV is a condition that causes the calcium crystals in your ear to be unbalanced.
Chronic pain
If you have chronic pain, and your doctor can’t help you, you should consider seeing a neurologist, because they could help you find the cause of your pain.
Movement problems
If you find trouble when walking, myoclonus, and shuffling gait may be signs of a fault in the nervous system, and Parkinson’s disease.
Numbness or tingling
Numbness on one side of the body may be a sign of stroke, damaged nerves, or multiple sclerosis.
Memory problems
Trouble remembering things, changes in personality, and muddling words up may be signs of Alzheimer’s disease.
A neurologist will prescribe you a treatment that may range from medication to speech therapy.
