Question 3

my girlfriend just had a seizure and has never had any medical problems. what should we do? she had just came out of the tanning bed which is normal for us and sat down in the lobby and starting shaking and turned white and her eyes roled back into her he

Accepted Answer

Events : Events involving loss of consciousness can include syncope (fainting) and seizure.  Syncope ("sin-co-pee") happens when blood flow to the brain is not enough for the brain's needs.  This is frequently caused by low blood volume due to dehydration, the effects of medication, or other causes.  Some patients who experience sycope can have trembling movements of the limbs, known as convulsive syncope.  Often, this is accompanied by pallor (turning "white").

Epileptic seizures, which can also cause involuntary shaking of the limbs, are caused by abnormal electrical activity in the brain.   Seizures are usually more complicated than syncopes.  There is often a clear beginning, middle and end to seizures.  Seizures seem to start small, sometimes as turning of the head to one side or shaking of one hand.  The middle of a seizure may involve arching of the back and stretching out of the limbs, synchronous shaking of the limbs, grunting, and usually the person's face gets red, not white.  The end of a seizure is usually longer than a syncope:  after a seizure people can be confused and groggy for many minutes.

Whether caused by a seizure, a syncope, or another cause, losing consciousness is a major neurological issue and should be evaluated immediately.  Many states restrict the driving privileges of a person who has had a loss of consciousness.  After experiencing an unexplained loss of consciousness, it is a good idea to avoid any activity requiring constant consciousness for safety of self or others.

By the way...

Tanning, whether in the sun or on a tanning bed, causes immediate and irreversible breakdown of the structures in the skin that give it its flexibility (leading to premature skin aging), and is the most common preventable cause of skin cancers that lead to permanent damage to the appearance of the skin and which can even be deadly.

Question 4

will my hair grow back after falling out from thyroid problems?

Accepted Answer

Probably: If you got the problem corrected then it should grow back. It may take a while. Now, if you were bald before the thyroid problem, then you may just be out of luck.

Question 5

Accepted Answer

Variable: if you have familial alopecia with no hair follicle ( global alopecia )- doubtful. If you do have hair follicle on the crown area,, you may be   to grow "peach fuzz:" hair-but probably not enough to cover the crown with regular hair. Additionally, if you stop minoxidil, the "new hair " will either break or fall out.

Question 9

lost a patch of hair than found out  i have hashimotos thyroid problems. will the hair grow back?  it's been 6 years and will i loose more hair?

Accepted Answer

Possibly: Thyroid level changes, either going up or down are associated with temporary hair loss.  A chronically low level causes chronic hair loss.  Autoimmune disorders, such as hashimotos can be associated with a chronic diffuse hair loss.  Alopecia areata is a seperate but associated autoimmune disorder in which one loses patches of hair resulting in bald spots.  This can be treated.

Question 10

im 19, boy. past 1 year i started driving bike, due to that im wearing helmet. due to it my hair is going slightly above of my forehead. i normally have hairfall and also double hair growth. not bald, but only problem hair going back infront.help?

Accepted Answer

: Hair loss patterns are primarily determined by genetics. Hormonal changes can make these problems worse. Wearing a helmet typically does not accelerate this process unless there is significant abrasion against the forehead at the hairline. Try wearing a beanie under the helmet to prevent rubbing, and stay healthy by eating a diet rich in fruits and vegetables, drink lots of water and exercise.
