Neurology

People with brain fog often say it feels like their thoughts are cloudy, slow, or fuzzy. They may have trouble focusing, remembering things, or feeling mentally sharp.

A shuffling walk occurs when a person takes short, dragging steps. This movement pattern is commonly seen in people with Parkinson's disease due to brain changes associated with the disease.

A shuffling walk can be an early sign of brain changes linked to dementia. Research shows that walking difficulties may predict future cognitive problems.

Brain fog from COVID-19 can start a few weeks after recovery, but the timing can vary a lot between people.

Research shows that brain fog is a common problem for people after COVID-19, with studies reporting that a good number of survivors experience issues with memory and concentration.

Many adults experience tingling at some point in their lives, but having a constant tingling all over the body is less common and often linked to specific health conditions.

Some tingling after a workout can be normal, but whole body tingling may sometimes suggest that your body is reacting to exercise stress, blood flow changes, or it could be linked to temporary nerve issues.

Paresthesia, or the pins and needles feeling, is usually not dangerous on its own, but if you notice sudden, severe, or additional alarming symptoms, it might need urgent medical care.

Some studies suggest that brain fog (trouble thinking clearly) and head pressure (often described as headache) might be connected, especially in people recovering from illnesses like COVID-19 and other conditions with shared symptoms.

There isn't one known cure for brain fog, but supportive care and medical therapy depending on the cause can help lessen the symptoms.

There is currently no known way to instantly clear brain fog. Most methods take time and work gradually to help reduce symptoms.

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.
