Question 1

any addictive drugs that slow movement later in life?

Accepted Answer

Hard to say: Stephiebelleiz, your question isn't very clear. Are you asking if you now have muscle slowing and you used to use opiates or certain tranquilizers? If so, there's probably no correlation. I will say that people who used crack Cocaine or methamphetamine may have permanent brain changes. Sounds like you need to talk to a doctor face-to-face rather than online. Good luck.

Question 2

grandfather, very slow movement. should i get him a walker?

Accepted Answer

Not a bad idea, but: A walker/cane can be useful, but i would have him evaluated by his doc/nurse to see why he is so. We do slow down with age, but certain medical conditions/medications can make things much worse. Make sure you remove clutters in the home and have his vision/glasses checked. Good luck!

Question 3

25y woman. problems pain in stummic, slow digestion, slow movement.dont empty stummic often and reflux-deseace.whats wrong?no medication work.pls help

Accepted Answer

Slow bowel movement: You may have obstipation or constipation. I would be helpful to know what medicines you are on. Would also suggest an abdominal flat plate xray to evaluate stool content. I would suggest a full consult with evaluation of your diet and medicines.

Question 4

slurred speech, studdering and slow movement. what is wribg?

Accepted Answer

Overly sedated: This can result from medications that have sedative effect, alcohol or street drugs, or something metabolic such as low blood pressure or heart. Please consult your doctor for full assessment.

Question 5

i have a neurological condition no diagnoises symptoms r severe balance gait coordination problems, slow movement and speach affected ..any ideas?

Accepted Answer

Cerebellum: Parkinsonism, which means any combination of slowness, rigity, tremor and postural instability, would not cause coordination problems.  Spinocerebellar ataxias, which are often but not always familial, can also cause some of the symptoms you named.  Any problem in the cerebellum or brainstem, due to stroke or tumor for example, can cause these symptoms.  Multiple sclerosis a possibility too.

Question 6

i had a capsule endoscopy and fell asleep for the first few hours afterward. my doctor said i may have gastroparesis since the capsule travelled slowly and didn't reach the end of my small intestines. could sleeping have caused the slow movement?

Accepted Answer

: "Gastroparesis" should not be influenced by sleep, as the intestinal movement continues whether asleep or awake.  Ask the GI physician for guidance.

Question 7

slurred speech, stuttering and slow movement in older aunt.  are those signs of parkinson's?

Accepted Answer

May be: There are many other diseases who show same symptoms, see a neurologist.

Question 8

i have slow movement in my left arm and leg my b p is normal and i am feeling less senses in my left heel?

Accepted Answer

SOME GUESSES: Your description may suggest a focal neurological problem such as a prior stroke or parkinson's disease, but, of course, there may well be other explanations, and a direct visit to a neurologist would be very useful.  Pursue the situation and get to the bottom of it.  Best of luck.

Question 9

is it normal for right hip / right side of lower back to hurt enough that walking is uncomfortable and requires very slow movement to minimize pain 4 or 5 days after a blood patch? 28 yo male here?

Accepted Answer

: No this is not normal but common. Biomechanics are important here. Check your leg lengths and if any pelvic rotation is present. Your symptom are common for leg length differences. A custom orthotic will help along with heel lift in sandals, etc   A podiatrist is trained in this area. Muscle strength is also important to maintain

Question 10

i m 21 year old having headaches nausea heaviness in eyes slowness in hand feet movement fatigue shortness in breath panic condition racing heart ????

Accepted Answer

Anxiety: it is not likely that you have a serious illness at your age unless you have some predisposing factors like bad genetics, prior cardiovascular problems.  That being said, what is going on in your life? Are you stressed?  Is it hot?  You needed to drink some water like 4 to 5 glasses 8 oz apiece and get some rest.  De stress your life.  If you are not better tomorrow see your primary doctor in am.
