Neurology

There isn’t one single test that diagnoses brain fog; instead, various tools and scales help measure its symptoms and effects.

Pain on the left side of your body can come from many places, such as the nerves, muscles, bones, joints, and even parts of your brain that help process pain.

Electric shock sensations are sudden, sharp feelings like being zapped that can come from nerve injuries, medication changes, or other conditions. They may be related to actual electrical injury, side effects of certain drugs, or nerve damage.

Various factors can make walking difficult, including problems with the brain, spine, joints, or muscles that affect body movement and balance.

Taking care of your body and brain through a mix of healthy habits and targeted treatments can help lessen brain fog. Strategies like physical exercise, good sleep, brain training, and advanced treatments such as neurofeedback and non-invasive brain stimulation have shown promise.

The brain’s inability to process information can be caused by injuries, illnesses, or problems like stress or poor sleep that affect how brain cells work.

Paresthesia, or tingling all over the body, is often caused by nerve problems such as neuropathy, which can be related to conditions like diabetes, injuries, or vitamin deficiencies.

Brain fog is when someone has trouble thinking clearly, remembering things, or staying focused. It can feel like your brain is moving slowly or like it’s wrapped in a thick cloud.

Common treatments for walking difficulty include physical therapy and exercises to build strength and balance, medications, and assistive devices like canes or braces for additional support.

Left side muscle pain under the ribs can be caused by problems with the ribs, muscles, or nerves, like twelfth rib syndrome, intercostal neuralgia, rib syndrome, or inflammation where the ribs join the breastbone (costochondritis).

Tingling all over your body can be the result of nerves sending extra or mixed-up signals. This may be caused by conditions that affect your nerves, natural chemicals, or even temporary situations when you put pressure on your body.

Brain fog can come from many issues like stress, fatigue, infections and lack of sleep.

Walking difficulties in older adults typically arise from problems with muscles, joints, balance, or brain function. Common causes include conditions like arthritis, stroke, Parkinson's disease, and inner ear disorders that affect balance.

Sudden pins and needles all over the body can be caused by nerve problems known as neuropathies, including those linked to diabetes, or other issues affecting how nerves send signals.

Whole body tingling combined with dizziness can happen due to problems with blood flow, nerve function, or balance, sometimes related to conditions like diabetes, high or low blood pressure, or inner ear issues.

Pins and needles all over the body may be caused by problems with your nerves such as peripheral neuropathy due to conditions like diabetes or kidney issues. Keeping your overall health in check and managing any underlying conditions can help prevent these sensations.

An electric shock feeling in the body can happen when nerves send unexpected signals—this might be due to nerve injury, medication side effects, or even real electrical events.

Extended sitting can make walking difficult by reducing blood flow and causing leg muscle stiffness. Nerve compression from being seated can lead to temporary numbness and tingling in the legs.

Pain that starts in the shoulder and appears to spread down one side of your body might be linked to shoulder problems like impingement or a frozen shoulder, or even an issue with the accessory nerve. Sometimes, the pain seen in the shoulder area goes further because changes in how you move and use your body can place extra strain on nearby muscles and nerves.

The most common cause of difficulty with mental processing is stress, which decreases the amount of energy given to the brain for its basic function. Some medical issues like ADHD, dementia, brain injuries, and mental health conditions can also make it hard for your brain to process information.
