Hi, From Dehradun (uttarakhand) India. I used to be a chronic alcoholic person. As result, 2 nos. Blood clots found in my brain thru mri. In my right hand side of my brain, which were removed by doctors thru surgery and advised liver treating medicines. After 10 days consumption of the said medicine, I continued to be alcoholic as earlier and assumed that after the brain surgery, I am normal now. However, I started getting sequence of seizures only after one month of surgery. I spent about 5 days in the hospital release with new set of medicine "levetiracetam 1g" and "clobazam 1g" and "epsolin - phenytoin sodium tab ip" for 2 months. Now I absolutely stopped consuming alcohol. But since last few weeks, my feet are swelling to its normal size and causes pain too, since I continue to wore socks 24 hrs due to cold winters. And wear shoes at work too. Swelling and itching in my feet are now become a problem for me know.

Kindly continue medicines which your doctor has suggested for seizures.
Since you already had clot in brain , there is a possibility that you may be having clots in your leg that may be affecting the blood circulation in legs . Doppler examination of both feets can help . Also if your foot wear is tight than chnage it
Avoid prolonged standing on feets.
Leg elevation can also help to decrease medicines.
Decrease your salt intake in diet

Hello, I am having this psychological/neurological problem since 2011 after I met with a serious accident which caused internal-bleeding and blood clotted in my brain but it got fine with medication and no surgery was required. Then my doctor prescribed me 'Epsolin tablets for around a year. The composition of tablet is Phenytoin Sodium (100 mg). To be frank, It took me 8-9 months to fully recover physically and mentally. Then during that time-period I faced this problem which is explained below: It happens for one full day. On that day, When I wake up in the morning I am totally depressed and my head feels heavy. Thoughts of death come to mind so often. Then a memory blinks in my mind which is always related to some adventurous nightmare I saw previously. When this memory blinks, my heartbeat fastens and feel dizzy for 9-10 seconds and then recover. This keeps happening until I go to sleep at night and wake up next morning. It totally takes me two days to fully recover from this state of mind. Facts: 1. Intensity of the effect which occurs after blink is reduced since starting. 2. Frequency of the problem is also less now. As I mentioned in the description it happens once a month now. 3. Nightmares which blinks in my mind are always those which I saw on the same day previously. It is full of adrenaline rush for example someone chasing me, hanging from an aeroplane etc. 4. I have never explained this to anyone. I tried once but none could understand it. I couldn't even find out that whom should I consult. 5. I have tried sleeping during day to see if it goes away after that nap but it was not working. It still remains until night sleep. Please help me. Tell me something. I am so confused. Thank you in advance.

These are all symptoms of anxiety, which might even be related to your handling of the stress of the accident. Try simple methods like yoga and meditation, and a daily walk to soothe your mynd and exercise your body. If this fails, meet a Psychiatrist.

Mr Utsav, Thanks for the query.
If you have been diagnosed to have Neurocysticercosis, then it is better to take the necessary medication as advised by the doctor. Because it is the only way to get rid of the infection. Thanks.
