Treatments For Dementia

I am sorry to hear about your concern but will be happy to assist you. Excess saliva can be a side effect of medications, such as tranquilizers, epilepsy drugs and anticholinesterases, often used in treatment of early dementia, such as donepezil (aricept). Some diseases also cause excess saliva, especially parkinson's disease and some strokes. Let's connect over a call so that we can discuss your concern in details and make a suitable treatment plan for you.

Hi lybrate-user, one of the side effects of donepezil is hyponatremia, reduced pulse rate, urinary retention. There are other medications with less of these side effects.

Normal serum sodium level is 135-145meq/l so I guess you can continue the same medication and follow up with specialist you consulted before.

1. Take adequate night sleep 2. Eat at regular intervals. As starvation/gas can trigger migrain 3. Avoid things that can trigger migrain. Common triggers include alcohol, caffeine or poor sleep. Inculcate good sleep practices like having a regular bedtime schedule and avoiding naps, caffeine and tv before bedtime. 4. Don't take stress- pursue an enjoyable activity or verbalising frustration to reduce stress and improve mental health. 5. Avoid foods that you know triggers your migrain. 6. Hot packs and heating pads can relax tense muscles. Warm showers or baths may have a similar effect 7. Drink water. “dehydration can be a big cause of headaches,” for this homeopathic treatment is very effective for more details you can consult me.

Sorry to hear about how your mother has suffered so much I am here to help however I can. (1) puss cells in urine but no growth on culture could indicate "sterile pyuria" which is common in elderly women. Possible reason for this may also be recent or incomplete antibiotic course. There are also several organisms that could cause uti, they may be present in bladder/urine but do not grow on culture media and they are capable of causing hematuria. (2) there can be several obstructive (obstruction of urine passage) and non-obstructive causes for urinary retention. An obstruction at the vesicoureteral junction (vuj) on one side can cause backpressure leading to dilatation of ureter and hydronephrosis of that side. Neurogenic bladder (not obstructive) can cause the same problems. Both of these conditions can lead to formation of bladder diverticula. Doctors usually do a test called ivp to rule out any blockage to urinary pathway. (3) niftas (nitrofurantoin), macpee (bethanechol) can have side effects like pain abdomen, nausea/vomiting, diarrhea, etc. (4) macpee - severe side effects of macpee include tachycardia (fast heart beat), severe abdominal pain & fainting. (5) veltam (tamsulosin) can also cause tachycardia (increased heart rate), arrythmia (irregular heart rate), hypotension (decreased blood pressure), etc. *as far as her abdominal pain/discomfort is concerned - any of the above three medications could be the cause for that. *for decreased spo2 and increased pulse - since she has had niftas, macpee and veltam for over 25 days a sudden reaction to them is unlikely. Now the only remaining medication that could cause this is zifi. (6) zifi (cefixime) - serious reaction to zifi has been reported where it caused dyspnoea / hypoxemia (decreased spo2), taachycardia (increased pulse / heart rate) and hypotension (decreased blood pressure). Usually this starts within hours of the first dose but you need to contact your doctor at the earliest if your mother is facing these problems. (7) yes, she might need a urinary catheter specially if she is confined to her bed mostly - an intermittent catheterization for draining urine could work. (8) along with treatment your mother would need all the emotional/mental support she can get from you and your family. I hope I have answered most of your questions. If you need any more help from me, you can contact me on private chat here at Lybrate. I wish your mother good health and you the strength to get through this.

Homocysteine is an amino acid. Vitamins B12, B6 and folate break down homocysteine to create other chemicals your body needs. High homocysteine levels may mean you have a vitamin deficiency. Without treatment, elevated homocysteine increases your risks for dementia, heart disease and stroke.
