A neurology authority is a doctor that treats disorders that pertain to the nerves and the nerve endings. Nerves are intricately connected and immediately indicate specific medical conditions. Underlying disorders are usually indicated by pain. Other forms of nerve-related conditions include Parkinson’s disease, multiple sclerosis, epilepsy, Alzheimer’s disease, headaches and strokes. Other diseases include spinal cord, brain, nerves and muscular diseases.

Aches and pain characterize headaches and are felt in the face, mouth, neck or head. They can be seasonal or severe and may interfere with everyday activity. The network of nerve endings is stimulated in the muscles and blood vessels, at the top and foot of the skull. Three kinds are cluster headache, migraine headache and tension headache. Tension headaches are particularly lifestyle conditions. Anxiety and pressure are key triggers. Depression is an unusual cause of these headaches. Cluster headaches can extend for months or weeks. They disappear and return in the same season. Underlying conditions like trauma, tumor, inflammation and metabolic disorder cause minor headaches. Sinuses, tooth, neck ear and eye infections cause head pain. Treating underlying infections would alleviate such pain. Some medication cause headache as a side effect. A sudden blow to the head, causing dizziness or temporary memory loss needs to be assessed by a physician immediately.

Sleep loss or forfeiture has a neurological connection. Insomnia is the word that explains the lack of sleep. Disturbed sleep suggests sleep behavior disorder like restless leg syndrome and periodic limb movement disorder. Narcolepsy is a problem that exhibits excessive sleep. Causes of sleep disorders include dietary abuse of caffeine and alcohol, stress related illnesses and antidepressant use. These underlying conditions indicate a neurological situation which once addressed, normalcy is brought back. A neurology authority can detect and treat these conditions and other related medical concerns. Hereditary sleep conditions like Narcolepsy may require further consultation.
