Neurology Specialist

Complaints such as headache, dizziness, balance disorder, forgetfulness, numbness in the hands or feet, muscle twitching, involuntary movements, or speech disorders may be signs of neurological diseases. In such cases, you can consult a neurology specialist.

While headache can be caused by many different reasons, migraine is usually a one-sided, throbbing type of headache that comes in attacks. During a migraine attack, additional symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, and sensitivity to light/sound may be seen.

No. Forgetfulness can occur for many reasons such as age, stress, sleep problems, and depression. Alzheimer’s disease is only one of them. The cause can be determined with a detailed evaluation.

The diagnosis of epilepsy is made through the patient’s history, neurological examination, and tests such as EEG (brain electroencephalography). In some cases, imaging methods such as MRI may also be required.

Some sleep disorders (for example, restless legs syndrome, narcolepsy) may have neurological causes. If problems such as difficulty falling asleep, frequent waking during sleep, or excessive daytime sleepiness continue, a neurology specialist can be consulted.
